Ferroli Boiler - Hot Water/No Central Heating

Hi
Just tried to turn on the central heating, and it's dead. Luckily, don't really need it at this time of year.
I've got a Ferroli Maxima boiler. It's giving no error messages, and the hot water is fine.
When, I turn up the thermostat in the living room, the display responds normally, but the heating is apparently 'dead', no noises, nothing.
Any ideas what I should investigate first?
Cheers

Hi Booty40
Im pretty sure its a wired thermostat. It's a Danfoss TP5, which must be about 10 years old.

Hi SouthCoastRGI
I will give that a go, but I thought if battery was dead, the thermostat would not display?
Will give it a go anyhow.
Cheers

Hi
It was a good suggestion to try the batteries first. I have put a new set in, and I'm afraid it's still dead :-(
Any other ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers

Maybe a reset?0 -
Hi John-306
I'm afraid the reset hasn't worked. I'll probably end up contacting Danfoss for their recommendation.
Cheers

I've noticed that the thermostat is still trying to run it's programming, so I'm thinking the problem may not lie with the thermostat.
After doing some research on the internet, the problem sounds like it might be the 3 way diverter valve? I have to admit, I've no idea what a diverter valve looks like, or where it's located, but will try and find it tomorrow.
