Heatlink Dead !!

[sirpos]

Put heating on for the 1st time in months ... came on no problem and then 15mins later I get the tool/fault symbol on the stat.

Checked the heat link and not lit up.

Checked for incoming power, all good 240v, however no output voltage!! 

Tried powercycling off / on a few times for varying lengths of time.... nothing!! 

Tried keeping button pressed a few times to attempt a reboot..... nothing!!! 

This unit is barely 2 years old .... not impressed at all considering the price!! My old honeywell stat was rock solid and to be honest I wish I hadn't upgraded!! 

Is there any other steps I can take to fault find and diagnose the issue?? Or am I just going to have to accept these nests are not built to last?? 

So annoying.........

I'm having the exact same problem. My heat link is 2.5 years old and now it's dead. I hope Google acknowledge this is a design fault and replace our heat links despite being a tiny bit over 2 years old! Getting support for this has been painful. I've been trying for a week to contact Google. I'm just grateful it's not winter.

Yeah I'm reading the comments and threads across the Web and the nest forums. Commonly known issue.

I would have zero hesitation walking away from the google/nest platform/environment if this doesn't get resolved swiftly.

Hi folks,

Thanks for reaching out and for being a step ahead of us. I'm sorry for the trouble this has caused you. A few questions: what type of Nest Thermostat do you have? You can visit this link to check what type of thermostat you have. Also, in what states are you located?

Best,
