Possible Causes

Stuck relay on control board, thermostat wiring shorted, miswired zone control, sensor out of calibration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before working on thermostat or control wiring.

  • 1. Verify thermostat operation: Turn the thermostat to OFF or well below room temperature. If the boiler continues to run, the issue is likely in wiring or the control.
  • 2. Inspect thermostat wiring: At the boiler or zone panel, look for thermostat wires that are shorted together or pinched.
  • 3. Check control relays (visual): Some controls have visible relays. If a relay appears burned or stuck, the control may need replacement.
  • 4. Temporarily disconnect call for heat: With power off, disconnect the thermostat or TT terminals. Restore power. If the boiler still runs, the control is likely faulty and requires replacement.
