Possible Causes

Motorized diverter valve stuck in DHW position, Faulty zone valve actuator not opening on heating demand, Incorrect wiring between EasyControl and valve actuator, Failed relay output controlling valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power to boiler and any external valves before working on them.

  • 1. Observe boiler: Check if the boiler fires when EasyControl calls for heat. If it does but radiators stay cold, suspect valves or circulation.
  • 2. Check diverter/zone valves: Locate the motorized valve(s) and listen/feel for movement when heating is requested. Manually move the lever (if present) to the open position and see if radiators warm up.
  • 3. Inspect wiring center: Verify that the EasyControl’s heating demand output is correctly wired to the valve actuator or relay in the wiring center.
  • 4. Replace actuator: If the valve does not move or gets stuck, the actuator head may need replacement.

Professional help: Valve replacement and wiring center diagnostics are best handled by a heating engineer.
