Hot water works, no central heating

What is going on

DHW is available but there is no space heating.

Likely causes

  • CH program key off
  • On/off room thermostat sending no call
  • RS100 with outdoor sensor: outdoor temperature above the Eco setting (default 70 F)
  • Three-way valve not going to CH position

Check in this order

  1. Switch central heating on.
  2. Check the room thermostat.
  3. With RS100, check INFO step 7 and the timer and room temperature settings.
  4. Check three-way valve wiring; replace the valve motor if needed.
