Possible Causes

Open or shorted indoor sensor, Damaged sensor wiring, Incorrect sensor location (heat source influence), Faulty control input

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before working on low-voltage wiring.

  • Locate indoor sensor: If your Utica boiler uses a remote indoor sensor for reset control, find it on an interior wall away from drafts and heat sources.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the two-conductor cable from the sensor to the boiler's low-voltage terminal strip. Tighten any loose connections and repair damaged cable.
  • Test sensor: With power off, disconnect the sensor and measure resistance. Compare to Utica's chart for room temperature. Replace if readings are out of range.
  • Relocate if needed: If the sensor is near a heat source (sunlight, appliances), relocate it to a more representative location.
  • Reset and test: Restore power and verify that the boiler now responds correctly to room temperature.
