Some rooms controlled by Danfoss smart thermostats are consistently too cold while others are comfortable.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Manifold adjustments and actuator work should be done with the heating system depressurized if required. Isolate power before working on actuators.
Steps to diagnose and fix:
- 1. Verify thermostat-to-zone mapping: Confirm that each thermostat controls the correct actuator(s) on the manifold or radiators. Correct any wiring or configuration mismatches.
- 2. Compare schedules: Ensure that the cold rooms are not set to lower setpoints or ECO modes compared to other rooms.
- 3. Check actuator operation: Confirm that actuators for cold zones open when heat is demanded. Replace any that remain closed.
- 4. Balance the system: Adjust flow rates on the underfloor manifold or radiator valves to ensure adequate flow to all zones, following Danfoss and system design guidelines.
When to call a professional: Hydraulic balancing is best performed by a heating engineer with appropriate tools.
