Possible Causes
Incorrect boiler power setting in De Dietrich parameters, Weather compensation curve set too low, Partially blocked plate heat exchanger, Circulation pump speed too low
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Adjust only user‑accessible settings unless you are a qualified technician.
Steps:
- Check thermostat setting: Ensure the room thermostat or De Dietrich controller is set high enough and not in economy mode.
- Verify heating curve: If using outdoor compensation, increase the slope slightly in the controller menu to raise flow temperature.
- Open all valves: Confirm that radiator valves are open and not stuck.
- Check boiler flow temperature: Increase the maximum heating temperature within safe limits (e.g., from 60°C to 70°C) if allowed by the manual.
Professional help: If performance remains poor, a technician should check pump sizing, system balancing, and heat exchanger condition.
