How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Danger: Boiler control terminals may carry mains voltage. Isolate power before working on wiring.

  • Step 1 – Check operating mode and schedule:
    • Ensure thermostat is in HEAT mode and not set to OFF or HOLIDAY.
    • Review the schedule to confirm the current time period has a sufficiently high setpoint.
  • Step 2 – Raise setpoint:
    • Increase the set temperature by 3–5°C above room temperature.
    • Listen for a relay click and check boiler status.
  • Step 3 – Verify wiring:
    • With power off, confirm that the boiler’s thermostat input is wired to the correct relay terminals on the Protherm thermostat.
    • Correct any miswiring according to the installation manual.
  • Step 4 – Test relay continuity (qualified persons):
    • During a call for heat, measure continuity across the relay contacts.
    • If the relay does not close, the thermostat output is faulty.
  • Step 5 – Replace thermostat if relay is defective:
    • Install a new Protherm smart thermostat and reconfigure.
