It has the British Gas-branded WR1 receiver and RC Plus transmitter/thermostat. The transmitter flame indicator is lighting both when it should both from timer settings and manually, but the boiler is not lighting and the receiver has both red and green LEDs on permanently (no flashing). I have seen other posts regarding issues with these units but they don't seem to be quite the same as my problem. Push button 1 followed by 2 and hold them both depressed together Red LED will flash for 2 secs then go out (learn mode) Adjusted programmer & thermostat so that there was no heat demend, changed programmer time to come on in 5 minutes, turned Digistat up to 23C and waited. find the reciever box prob in airing cuboard it has learn and overide written on it, turn the room stat up and down and see if the recieve light flashes if it doesnt the room stat is not communicating with the reciever. Press the overide button and the green light should come on and fire the boiler if boiler doesnt fire you could have a fault with the heating, if it does fire then the room stat needs recommisioning.

What is happening now is that if I press button 2, sometimes the green light will light but will switch off again as soon as I release the button. I'm having problems getting a Worcester Junior 28i combi boiler lit for central heating now the temperature is dropping (it works fine for hot water). The batteries died on my wireless thermostat and there were no instructions or manuals from the previous owner of the property. In addition, when attempting to re-pair the receiver and transmitter, the receiver red LED is supposed to flash for 7 seconds after the batteries are put into the transmitter - it doesn't. I've gone through the procedure several times to no avail.I assume when you say that "the receiver appears to receive the instruction" you mean that the red led on the receiver 'flashes' to show thermostat is communicating with it. If so, that would indeed indicate that there is some communication between the two, but we don't know if it's actually telling the receiver to turn the heating 'on' or is something else, such as just a simple 'handshake' saying I'm here. I've gone through the set-up procedure - the first problem is that after several attempts, pressing the No.2 "Override" button on the WR1 receiver does not cause the boiler to light - the green LED lights, but the boiler stays silent. Hi.... I have recently had a problem with my central heating timer and suspect it is the wireless receiver unit which has either failed or has a loose wire but would value opinions if anyone could offer advice... Do you have a Power of Attorney? MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis explains how this crucial protection works, why it's more important than a will, and how to get one in the latest episode of ITV's The Martin Lewis Money Show Live.

stand a meter away from reciever then insert right battery drawer then left light should flash on reciever then go out.My system is labelled "British Gas WR1 Wireless System" which is the sensor by the boiler and the thermostat is labelled "British Gas RC1 Wireless System" Q: what happens if you do Peters step by step and it doesn't work and the Red light won't go off after - the receiver appears to have 'frozen and I came home last night at 00:30 and found the display had died and after spending 15mins working out how to replace the batteries l then spent till 2am browsing the web to find out how you get the two units to talk to one another. Random button pressing was not working!!! If the red LED reamins on you need to repeat all of the above If it is still on something is wired incorrectly or broken press button 1 (lower) then 2 and hold both depressed you should see a red light flash the reciever is then in learn mode.

Q is: has anybody else had my original problem - led display on remote blank - and found a way to sort it? and Martin Lewis: Do you have a Power of Attorney? It’s crucial protection – not just for the elderly – and more important than a will NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank to close at least 172 branches in 2023/24 – here's the full list, plus alternatives My search proved in vain as l could not come up with any posts to do with RC1 or WR1. I went to bed with an extra duvet at that point. Does the green 'on' light come on when the receiver is manually overridden? If not then the receiver is definitely faulty, if it does it still could be.Turned mains supply off (& verified), removed WR1 (SCR) unit from the wall managed to prise the clips holding it together apart (without breaking any) de-soldered the old cap and re-soldered the new.

Make sure both battery compartments are out on the 'Wireless Display' and the screen has gone blank, takes about 2 mins to fade The red 'Receive/Alarm' light on the SCR flashes periodically for around 5 seconds every five minutes or so (which means that the Digistat and SCR are communicating) and the green light is 'on'. This means that we should be getting heat. NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Ulster Bank, which are all part of the NatWest Group, will now shut at least 172 of their bank branches in 2023 and 2024. These wireless stats are/were often fitted by BG. They are probably rebadged Drayton Digistats. Alas they have an unfortunate failure mode that can cause the stat and the receiver module to become "unpaired".
