Possible Causes

Incorrect operating mode (OFF or Frost protection), Misconfigured system type, Faulty relay output on thermostat or receiver, Broken control wire to boiler

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power to the boiler and receiver before touching wiring.

  • Check mode: Ensure the thermostat is in Comfort or Auto mode, not OFF or Frost. Increase setpoint several degrees above room temperature.
  • Observe receiver: If using a Delta Dore RF receiver, check if its LED changes state or you hear a relay click when demand should start.
  • Verify wiring: Confirm that the thermostat or receiver relay contacts are correctly wired to the boiler’s control terminals.
  • Test relay: In installer mode, some models allow a manual output test. Activate it to see if the boiler responds.

If the thermostat indicates demand but the relay does not switch, the output stage is likely faulty and the receiver or thermostat must be replaced.
