Possible Causes
Oversized boiler for system, Closed radiator valves, Blocked system filter, Pump not running at correct speed
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting pump or opening filters.
- 1. Open radiators: Ensure enough radiators or heating circuits are open to dissipate the boiler output. Fully open thermostatic radiator valves for testing.
- 2. Clean system filter: If a Junkers or third-party magnetic filter or strainer is installed, isolate it and clean out sludge and debris.
- 3. Pump check: Verify that the circulation pump is running and set to an appropriate speed. Replace the pump if it is not delivering adequate flow.
- 4. System balancing: Have a heating professional balance the system to ensure even flow through all circuits, reducing return temperature spikes.
