Possible Causes

Depleted AA batteries in valve, Use of low‑quality or partially used batteries, Corroded battery contacts inside valve, Excessive motor load due to stiff radiator pin

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Battery replacement is safe; avoid touching hot radiator surfaces.

  • Install new batteries: Open the Smart Radiator Valve and replace the AA batteries with fresh alkaline cells. Do not use rechargeable batteries unless explicitly supported.
  • Inspect contacts: Check for corrosion on the battery contacts and clean gently with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol if needed.
  • Free stiff radiator pin: If the valve often struggles to move, free the radiator pin as described in the calibration procedure to reduce motor load.
  • Re‑calibrate: After battery replacement, run a calibration from the app to ensure correct travel.

If batteries drain within weeks despite free movement and quality cells, the valve’s electronics or motor may be faulty; replace the Smart Radiator Valve.
