Possible Causes

Open-circuit thermostat wiring, Faulty room thermostat, Incorrect control wiring, PCB input fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before accessing the wiring terminals.

  • Check thermostat settings: Ensure the room thermostat or programmer is set to HEAT and the setpoint is above room temperature.
  • Inspect wiring: At the furnace control terminal strip, verify that the thermostat connections are secure and not corroded. Tighten loose screws.
  • Bypass test (qualified persons only): With power OFF, temporarily link the thermostat terminals at the furnace. Restore power; if the furnace now responds, the external thermostat or its wiring is faulty.
  • Replace faulty control: Fit a compatible Vokera-approved room thermostat or repair wiring as needed.
