Kospel
Short Cycling
Boiler frequently cycles on and off with short run times, causing temperature swings

Possible Causes
Oversized boiler relative to system, Incorrect control settings, Blocked or closed radiators, Faulty room thermostat placement
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Adjust only user-accessible settings unless you are qualified to change installer parameters.
Steps to check:
- Open radiators: Ensure enough radiators are open to absorb the boiler's output. Do not run the boiler with only one small radiator open.
- Adjust temperature: Lower the flow temperature setpoint slightly to reduce overshoot and cycling.
- Check thermostat location: The room thermostat should not be near heat sources or in direct sunlight. Relocate if necessary.
- Review control mode: If using advanced Kospel controls, enable weather compensation or modulation features if available to smooth operation.
When to call a technician: Persistent short cycling may require system redesign or boiler parameter optimization by a professional.
