How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and allow boiler to cool completely. Boiler components can be under pressure and very hot.

  • Reset safety thermostat: Press the manual reset on the boiler safety thermostat if present. If it trips again, investigate cause.
  • Descale boiler: Heavy scale can cause localized overheating. Follow Comenda’s descaling procedure or have a technician descale the boiler.
  • Check contactor: Ensure the boiler contactor opens when heating is not requested. Replace if welded closed.
  • Verify control settings: Confirm that boiler temperature setpoint is within recommended range.
