Possible Causes
Stuck wall button, Shorted control wiring, Neighboring remote using same code on older fixed‑code systems, Faulty radio receiver
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Until resolved, disconnect power when the property is unattended to prevent unauthorized access.
Steps to try:
- Inspect wall button: Remove and test the wall button for sticking or shorting. Replace if suspect.
- Check wiring: Look for moisture or damage in the low‑voltage control wiring that could cause intermittent shorts.
- Clear and reprogram remotes: On older Novoferm systems, clear all stored remotes and reprogram only your own, using rolling‑code remotes if available.
- Test with receiver disconnected: If an external receiver is used, disconnect it and see if the problem stops. Replace the receiver if it is the cause.
