Nest thermostat 3rd Gen Heat Link problem

Andy5

Hi, seems I have a heatlink that has died. I have have a 2 zone system each with a nest thermostat. This evening my upstairs thermostat said it needed to shut down as its internal battery is almost dead. I thought that was strange so checked the heat link and can see no power light is on at all (the other heat link for downstairs is fine and green). The thermostat is now off and flashing a red light at the top, is it safe to say I need a new heat link or is there anything I can try?

 

thanks

Andy

I have the same problem as Andy5. 
My "heatlink S/N 09" is dead. No lights. I have checked the input voltage and it is Ok (220 V).
No circuit breaker problem.
I tried the restart procedure ... no light.
And my device is no longer under warranty since September 2021 .... no luck ...
Can you tell me how it is possible to have one as a replacement? Sorry for the mistakes (I'm French).

Hey @Andy5,

 

I'm glad to hear you've got it sorted. Let me know if you need anything else.

 

Hey @NicoD,

 

I'd be happy to help you out. Here are some helpful troubleshooting steps:

  • Press the button on the Heat Link and check if you have any lights on it
  • Check if the circuit breakers and the switches are set to on
  • Turn them off and then back on
  • Press on the button again and check for LEDs


Could you also help me with some answers to these questions?

  1. How long has your thermostat been installed for?
  2. Did the issue happen during the installation?
  3. Is there any error on the Nest thermostat display?
  4. Have you had any power cuts recently?
  5. Have you had any work done on your electrical or heating systems recently?
  6. If yes, was the power properly restored at the fuse board after work was done?
  7. How many zones ( thermostats ) are present in the setup?
