Possible Causes

Control logic anti-cycling timer active, Oversized boiler relative to system, Low system water volume, Incorrect parameter settings in Junkers control

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No immediate safety risk; do not open sealed combustion parts.

  • Wait for timer: D3 often indicates a normal waiting period. Wait the specified time (see Junkers manual) and see if the boiler restarts automatically.
  • Check thermostat settings: Ensure room thermostat and TRVs are correctly set and not causing rapid on/off cycling.
  • Increase system volume: If the system is very small (few radiators), consider adding a buffer tank or additional radiator (installer task).
  • Controller configuration: Have a technician check and adjust anti-cycling parameters in the Junkers controller to better match the installation.
