Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting control settings.
- Check DIP switches and jumpers: Refer to the Lochinvar installation manual for your model. Verify all DIP switches and jumpers on the control board match the boiler size, venting, and gas type.
- Review installer setup: Enter the installer menu (password-protected on many models). Confirm that boiler model, input size, and system type are correctly programmed.
- Factory reset (if allowed): Some Lochinvar controls allow a factory default reset. Follow the manual carefully if you attempt this, and record existing settings first.
Professional help: Misconfiguration can lead to unsafe operation. If you are unsure about any parameter, contact a Lochinvar-trained technician to verify and commission the boiler.
