Parameter / Configuration Error
Symptom
Boiler cycles on and off rapidly without reaching the set temperature.
Short Cycling
Symptom
Boiler display is dim, flickering, or unreadable
Display / User Interface Fault
Symptom
Boiler display is on, but there is no response to heating or hot water demand.
Control / Demand Signal Fault
Symptom
Boiler emits a burning or plastic smell during operation.
Overheating Electrical or Plastic Component
Symptom
Boiler frequently locks out and requires a manual reset, with varying error codes or none displayed.
Intermittent Lockout / Unstable Operation
Symptom
Boiler frequently loses pressure and needs topping up.
Chronic Pressure Loss
Symptom
Boiler is very noisy (whistling, roaring, or droning) when firing.
Combustion Noise / Resonance
Symptom
Boiler leaking water from underneath the casing.
Internal Water Leak
Symptom
Boiler makes loud banging or knocking noises (kettling) during operation.
Heat Exchanger Kettling / Local Boiling
Symptom
Boiler room or flue area shows signs of soot or black staining
Incomplete Combustion / Sooting
Symptom
Boiler runs but radiators stay cold or only lukewarm.
Poor Circulation / Heating Circuit Flow Problem
Symptom
Boiler runs, but hot water is only lukewarm.
Insufficient DHW Output
Symptom
Boiler shuts down when a particular zone or underfloor circuit operates
Hydraulic Imbalance / Local Flow Restriction
Symptom
Boiler will not start at all; no display or lights.
No Power / Dead Boiler
Symptom
Condensate water backs up or boiler shuts down in freezing weather
Blocked or Frozen Condensate Drain
Symptom
Domestic hot water temperature fluctuates between hot and cold.
Unstable DHW Temperature Control
Symptom
Radiators get hot even when there is no call for heating.
Unwanted Heating / Valve Bypass
