Possible Causes

Faulty external controls (timer/programmer), Broken thermostat wiring, Incorrect parameter settings in Nibe controller, Faulty demand input on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before working on control wiring.

  • Check programmer: Ensure heating and hot water channels are set to ON or timed appropriately.
  • Use manual override: Many programmers have a manual ON button; test if the boiler responds when forced ON.
  • Check Nibe parameters: In the installer menu, verify that external control inputs are configured correctly (if accessible and you are competent).
  • Professional diagnosis: A technician can test the demand terminals on the Nibe PCB and repair or replace faulty external controls or the PCB.
