Possible Causes

Stuck relay on Thermona PCB, Room thermostat contacts welded closed, Incorrect wiring bypassing controls, Faulty 3-way valve allowing unwanted flow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Overheating can cause discomfort and high gas usage. Turn off the boiler if it will not respond to controls.

  • Check thermostat: Turn the room thermostat to minimum or OFF. If the boiler continues to run, the fault is likely in wiring or PCB.
  • Isolate heating: Switch the boiler off at the main switch to stop heating.
  • Engineer diagnosis: A technician should test the thermostat circuit, check for incorrect links at the Thermona control terminals, and inspect the PCB for a stuck relay. Replace the thermostat or PCB as required.
