Possible Causes

Receiver not in pairing mode, RF interference, Incompatible thermostat/receiver versions, Faulty RF module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure boiler power is on for pairing, but do not open the boiler casing.

  • Reset pairing: On the receiver, press and hold the pairing/learn button until the LED flashes rapidly. On the thermostat, start the pairing process again from the installer menu.
  • Reduce distance: Bring the thermostat within 1–2 m of the receiver during pairing.
  • Eliminate interference: Temporarily switch off nearby RF devices (cordless phones, baby monitors) during pairing.
  • Check compatibility: Confirm that the thermostat model is approved for use with your specific Worcester Bosch boiler and receiver model.
  • If pairing still fails: Either the thermostat or receiver RF module may be defective and require replacement.
