19 Troubleshooting

Problem

Cause

Solution

Heat, 

no heat

Dirt strainer in the district heating or 

heating return line clogged. 

The filter in the district heating meter – if 

any – may be blocked. 

Defective or incorrectly set differential 

pressure controller.

Air pockets in the system.

Clean the filter/dirt strainer.

Clean (in consultation with the district 

heating plant).

Check the function of the differential 

pressure controller – if necessary, clean 

the valve seat and capillary tube.

Vent the system thoroughly – see the 

instructions.

Uneven distribution of heat

Air pockets in the system.

Vent the system thoroughly – see the 

instructions.

Poor cooling

Insufficient heating surface / radiators 

too small.

Poor utilisation of the existing heating 

surface.

Non-return valve in mixing circuit doe 

not close tightly or is defective.

Increase the total heating surface.

Turn on all the radiators and prevent the 

radiators in the system from becoming 

warm at the bottom.

Clean or replace the non-return  valve.

No heat  

(S-Units only)

Defective thermostat – or possibly dirt in 

the valve housing.

Defective motor valve – or possibly dirt 

in the valve housing.

Automatic components/controller 

incorrectly adjusted or defective – or 

possibly a power outage.

The pump is not working.

The pump is set at a “step” that is too low 

(not all system types).

Air pockets in the system.

Check that the thermostat is functioning 

correctly – clean the valve seat if necessary.

Check that the motor valve is functioning 

correctly – clean the valve seat if necessary.

Check that the controller setting is cor-

rect – see the separate instructions for 

the controller.

Check the power supply. 

Temporarily set the motor to “manual” 

control – see the instructions for the 

heating system.

Check that there is a power supply for the 

pump, and that it is operating.

Make sure that there is no air in the pump 

housing – see the pump manual.

Set the pump to a higher step – see the 

instructions for the heating system.

Vent the system thoroughly – see the 

instructions.

Noise from unit

Non-return valve in mixing circuit defective

Replace non-return valve.

Fundamental

In the event of disruptions to operation, you should fundamentally 

– before commencing the actual troubleshooting – check

whether:

• 

the system is correctly connected

• 

the district heating supply temperature is at its normal level

• 

 the differential pressure is at its normal level – ask your district 

heating supplier if necessary

• 

there is a power supply to the system pump and automatics 

• 

the dirt strainer in the district heating supply pipe is clean

• 

there is air in the system
