Blue light Slow flash (off then on)

Blue light Slow flash (off then on) — Central heating not working (hot water OK)

Worcester Bosch · Greenstar Boilers

What does Blue light Slow flash (off then on) mean?

The blue indicator light flashes slowly (briefly turning on from an off state), and the central heating system is not operating, though hot water may still be available. This suggests an issue with central heating demand.

Common Causes

  • Problem with the external diverter valve
  • External timer or room thermostat issue
  • Temperature control set to frost protection position
  • Unintended live demand at ST10-LR from another source
