How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power and let the boiler cool before touching any components.

  • Check pump operation: With a call for heat, listen and feel for the pump running. If silent or excessively hot, it may be seized.
  • Open radiator valves: Ensure enough radiators are open to allow adequate flow.
  • Bleed air: Bleed the pump (if vent screw present) and radiators, starting with the highest points.
  • Reset: After restoring circulation, reset the boiler and monitor. If F24 recurs, stop resetting and call a technician.
