Hi, My Nest Heat link has stopped working - no lights. There is 240 volts to the heat link. I assume the unit is dead.
How do I get this fixed/replaced under warranty?
Thanks,
John

Hi there, thank you so much for reaching out. Can you tell me if any LED comes on after you press the button on the Heat Link for 30 seconds?

Hi,
I have the same problem too.
I have followed all the suggested advice above and it's still dead with no LEDs on at all. I have asked a boiler engineer to come and look at it and he suggested it's the Nest Heat Link + Thermostat that's faulty as there are voltage

Thank you very much!

Hi,
I have the same problem too.
I have followed all the suggested advice above and in the troubleshooting guides ( have hold the button 10, 20, 30 seconds) and it's still dead with no LEDs on at all. My heat link is 2nd gen.
My answers to the questions:
How long has your thermostat been installed for? >Since July 2020
Did the issue happen during the installation?- No
Is there any error on the Nest thermostat display? -H71
Have you had any power cuts recently?- No
Have you had any work done on your electrical or heating systems recently? -No
If yes, was the power properly restored at the fuse board after work was done?-N/A
How many zones are present in the setup?- I'm not sure what this means, but I'll guess 1.
If you have not already check any breakers or switches at the location, to make sure nothing has tripped. -Confirmed
If it all looks good you can try and cut the power to the Heat Link for a few minutes, if you are comfortable in doing so, and after turn it back on. -Done it a few times already.
See if it has any reaction after you power cycle it when you press the button on it. -No reaction

Since our boiler is less than 2 years old we called our installer them and they came and exchanged it..I did say there seemed to be a lot that had gone faulty and he said there had been a bad batch from 2 years ago and they were just starting to go wrong....Not sure how true that is but it does seem to match up with comments I've seen were installed about 2 years ago...Is this something Google knows but is keeping quiet about!
10-31-2021 08:00 AM
We have the same problem with system installed in March 2019. Seeing lots of people reporting the same problem but no solutions?
09-17-2021 03:42 AM
@AlexD I also filled out the form yesterday (without the social handle, I'm afraid), but put my email and address - hope that's enough to get help from your end.
Thanks a mil in advance!

Thanks for letting me know @JenBerenguer. In that case please fill it out one more time with the same details, just add your username to the "Social handle" section this time: https://bit.ly/3oVDg4g . Once you filled it out again, just let us know here and me or my colleagues will look for it.

--- I am a little frustrated now as I have already had a thermostat die on me and had to deal with getting a replacement for that. These products seem to have a shelf-life of a couple of years at most. 😞
Is there any chance of getting a replacement heat link?
10-01-2021 03:32 AM
Thermostat won't connect to the heat link, tried a factory reset but there's no lights on the front of the link. I've checked that the link has power. The link is less than 2 years old.Can anyone help? Thanks

Hi,
I’m having the same problem. No lights on the 3rd Gen Heat Link. Tried pressing the button for 30 secs, no change. Tried turning off power supply which feeds heat link and boiler and turning back on. Boiler comes back on, no change in heat link. Getting H71 message on thermostat. Think Heat link must be faulty what is the resolution for this?
Thank you,
Danny

Hi
We are having the same issue. The heat link stopped for no reason. We have tried all the suggested solutions with no success. The 3rd gen system was installed march 2019 along with a new boiler. Please can you let me know how to resolve this. Thanks
10-06-2021 03:13 AM
I'm having the same issue with my 3rd gen learning thermostat. I am based in the UK - is there a two year guarantee on this model?

I've filled in the form above - could someone get back to me please.
Thanks, Catherine.

I filled out the form and commented here 2 weeks ago with no response from anybody other than other people running into the same trouble. I don't know how to escalate this. I am even at the point where I would consider just buying another heatlink if I could buy this separately from a thermostat... but that doesn't seem to be an option. Maybe I should consider switching to Hive or something else. Is anyone else getting support from Google for this issue?
10-21-2021 05:30 AM
Someone contacted me through email after filling in the form. They sent me a replacement within 1 week. They also offered to pay for reimbursement for any labour work, but I haven’t received any payment after sending them the invoice. It has been over 3 weeks and still no payment. Kind of wish they haven’t offered it in the first place
10-12-2021 12:30 PM
Having same problem. No LEDs on Heatlink H71 error on Thermostat. Tried all trouble shooting solutions to no avail. How do you get replacement Heat Link?
10-12-2021 12:43 PM
I contacted Google through the chat service and someone got back to me within 24 hours offering a replacement. Perhaps try that.
10-21-2021 04:23 AM
We have the same issue. Ours needs replacing. How long after contacting google nest support did it take to replace? Ours broke on Tuesday I’m still waiting on Thursday for someone to ring to arrange a time to replace it. No heating, we’re a family with 2 young kids and it’s cold. If it wasn’t under warranty we could have got it forced by now. The timescales of up to 7 days to replace after 48 hours waiting for a call is ridiculous and unfair when it’s a faulty product.
11-14-2021 12:55 PM
Ours had to be replaced we had to arrange the fitting ourselves, Google sent replacement nest fairly quickly. you then have to claim back the cost of installation - which takes a while.
10-24-2021 10:30 AM
I reported my faulty h71 Heat Link on 30th July, hadn't heard anything since. I went through all the trouble shooting steps, filled out their google form to report the issue and also updated them that I had done so. Heard zip. Eventually purchased a different unit as weather has turned and didn't want to be without heat.
Got fed up and just ebayed the old kit.

My nest link is completely dead. Tried all the relevant tests but to no avail. Where do I get a new link.

You need to talk to Google's nest support line for your country / region. I found the phone line to be better than emails etc as response times aren't always quick.
11-30-2021 12:56 AM
We ended up getting a new thermostat under our warranty but had to pay for installation under the promise it would be refunded. I paid £70 7 weeks later and I’m still waiting and chasing the refund.
12-01-2021 06:29 AM
Hello everyone, I'm sorry about the delayed response as I know it's been quite some time and it's important resolve this as quick as possible.
