Possible Causes

Open thermostat circuit, External interlock (flow switch, BMS) not closed, Incorrect control mode selected, Faulty low water cutoff or safety device

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn OFF power before working on low-voltage circuits.

Steps:

  • 1. Verify thermostat operation: Raise the thermostat setting and listen for a click. Replace batteries if applicable.
  • 2. Check call-for-heat terminals: At the Raypak control, measure or test for continuity across the call-for-heat terminals when the thermostat is calling. Repair wiring if open.
  • 3. Review control settings: Ensure the boiler is not in 'Off' or 'Manual' mode and that any external enable contacts are configured correctly.

If the boiler still does not recognize a call for heat, the control input or external interlock device may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.
