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.
