Possible Causes

Open circuit in room thermostat wiring, Incorrect thermostat settings, Faulty external control module, Misconfigured control parameters

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before altering low‑voltage control wiring.

  • Check thermostat: Ensure the room thermostat or remote control is powered, set to heating mode, and calling for heat.
  • Inspect wiring: At the Fondital terminal strip, verify that thermostat wires are firmly connected and not broken.
  • Bypass test: Temporarily bridge the thermostat terminals at the heater (if allowed by the manual). If the unit starts, the thermostat or its wiring is faulty.
  • External module: If using an OpenTherm or proprietary Fondital controller, check its display for errors and reset it according to its manual.
