Ideal
Control Signal Failure
Boiler does not respond to the room thermostat or programmer; it stays off.
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Flat batteries in wireless thermostat, faulty Ideal Halo or other control, broken wiring between control and boiler, incorrect control settings (holiday/off mode).
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate power before handling wired controls.
User checks:
- Thermostat batteries: Replace batteries in wireless thermostats and re-pair if necessary.
- Programmer settings: Ensure heating and hot water are set to ON or timed, not OFF.
- Manual boiler control: Increase the boiler's own thermostat and check if it fires when there is a demand.
If the boiler still does not respond, an engineer should test control circuits and replace faulty controls or repair wiring.
