7. Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues. For complex problems, always contact a qualified service technician.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Boiler not firing up | No gas supply, no electrical supply, low system pressure, thermostat setting too low. | Check gas valve, check power supply, check system pressure and top up if necessary, increase thermostat setting. |
| Low system pressure | Water leak, system needs topping up. | Top up system pressure using the filling loop. If pressure drops frequently, check for leaks or contact a technician. |
| No hot water | Boiler in heating-only mode, diverter valve fault, flow sensor issue. | Check boiler mode settings. If problem persists, contact a qualified technician. |
| Unusual noises | Air in system, pump issue, limescale build-up. | Bleed radiators to remove air. If noises continue, contact a qualified technician. |
