How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before altering wiring.

  • Check thermostat settings: Ensure the room thermostat or ACV controller is set to heating mode and above room temperature.
  • Check programmer: Verify that the time clock or programmer is set to ON or a timed period that is active.
  • Override test: If the controller has a manual override or boost, activate it and see if the boiler starts.
  • Professional testing: A technician should test the continuity of control wiring and the thermostat contacts or OpenTherm communication.
