How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Electrical isolation is required before working on internal components.

  • Check controls: Ensure the room thermostat is calling for heat and that any programmer is set to heating ON.
  • Valve positions: Confirm that the heating flow and return isolation valves under the Junkers boiler are fully open.
  • Listen for pump: When heating is demanded, place a hand on the pump body to feel for vibration and warmth.
  • Technician tasks:
    • Test and, if necessary, replace the circulation pump.
    • Inspect and free or replace the three-way diverter valve motor and cartridge.
    • Check wiring from thermostat to boiler and repair any breaks.
