Possible Causes

Mechanical relay switching too frequently, Incorrect cycle rate settings, Loose relay on PCB, Electrical interference from boiler or pumps

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power before opening the thermostat.

  • Adjust cycle rate: In installer settings, reduce the number of cycles per hour or enable quieter modulating control if supported.
  • Check mounting: Ensure the thermostat is firmly mounted and not resonating against a hollow wall or loose backbox.
  • Inspect relay: If comfortable, open the casing and gently press on the relay while operating. If noise changes or relay is loose, the PCB may need replacement.
  • Consider solid-state model: If noise is unacceptable, replace with an Ariston model using solid-state outputs.
