Possible Causes
System set to holiday/away with frost protection, outdoor temperature sensor reading very low, incorrect minimum temperature settings, boiler locked into frost mode due to internal sensor readings
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Steps to exit frost protection:
- Check modes: In the app, ensure the system is not in holiday, away, or frost‑only mode. Switch back to normal or comfort mode.
- Increase setpoint: Set a higher room temperature and wait 10–15 minutes to see if the boiler responds.
- Outdoor sensor check: If an outdoor sensor is installed and reading extremely low or faulty values, inspect and replace it as needed.
- Boiler status: Check the boiler display for any freeze‑protection or sensor errors that may be forcing frost mode.
If the system remains stuck in frost protection despite correct settings, a boiler or control board fault may be present and should be investigated by a technician.
