DIY fix possible
Check if the Vitotrol remote unit is properly seated on its wall baseSwitch the boiler off at the fused spur, wait 30 seconds, and switch it back on to reset the connectionInspect the remote unit batteries (if applicable) or check for visible damage to the wiring leading to the unit
