Drayton RTS1 room thermostat not working Help and information on all topics relating to your central heating, air conditioning and ventilation issues.

My Drayton RTS1 room thermostat only operates between 22 degC and 24 degC - there are audible clicks at 22 degC and at 24degC and it definitely does not work below 22 degC. I have pulled off the control knob and found that the limiting arms are set to the minimum and maximum positions - I can turn the control knob between 10degC and 30degC. Is there anything else I can do to change the range or is the thermostat faulty?

Hi, easiest way to see if stat faulty is to temp. replace it with a standard light switch, turn on and boiler 'fires' turn off and boiler stops.
If this doesn't work the fault is elsewhere in the system.
Isolate & note connections before disconnecting 'stat and put Neutral (if there) in a spare connector and 'stats other 2 wires to C&L1 of switch.
Is this a combi or are there motorised valve(s) in circuit?
more info would help diagnosis

Hi, the room thermostat is connected to a Drayton Lifestyle LP111 timeswitch and a Vaillant Ecotec Plus 831 Combi boiler.
