Possible Causes

Open thermostat circuit, Miswired control terminals, Faulty external controller, Incorrect control mode settings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before changing low-voltage wiring.

  • Check thermostat wiring: Verify the thermostat or zone controller wires are connected to the correct TT or demand terminals on the IBC boiler.
  • Bypass test: Temporarily jumper the call-for-heat terminals at the boiler. If it starts, the issue is upstream (thermostat or wiring).
  • Control mode: Confirm the boiler is configured for the type of control you are using (e.g., on/off thermostat vs. 0–10V signal).

If the boiler still does not respond to a direct jumper, the control board input may be faulty and requires professional diagnosis.
