TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

SYMPTOM
1. Power light is not lit when switch is
flipped to "ON"
2. Water flow light remains off.
3. Pilot sparks but does not light
4. Pilot lights momentarily, goes out and
then sparks again repeatedly
5. Pilot lights but main burner does not fire.
6. Main burner lights but cycles off after a
few minutes
7. Boiler starts to whine as the temperature
rise increases.
SOLUTION
•
Check wiring to switch.
•
Check circuit breaker.
•
Check fuse.
•
Verify that pump is running.
•
Check wiring to flow switch.
•
Verify that main manual valve is open.
•
Follow lighting instructions to bleed air out of pilot line.
•
Remove main burner and inspect for moisture or dirt in
pilot or in pilot line.
•
Verify that pilot is sealed to main burner base.
•
Verify that gas connections are tight.
•
Observe pilot for proper flame. Adjust if necessary.
•
Check pilot flame signal. Properly set pilot to generate
1.5 µA. D.C. on average.
•
Remove main burner and ensure that igniter and ground
electrodes are positioned properly. Clean with steel
wool if necessary.
•
Verify that back of burner box is fully engaged into the
retaining slot in the combustion chamber base.
•
Verify that high limit is set high enough to prevent short
cycling.
•
Check pilot flame signal (µA).
•
Adjust pilot pressure for steady flame
•
Remove main burner. Check position of igniter and
ground electrode. Clean with steel wool if necessary.
•
Verify that high limit is set high enough to prevent short
cycling.
•
Adjust pilot pressure for steady flame
•
Remove main burner. Adjust pilot shield and clean
ignition sensor.
•
Verify that all air is bled from system.
•
Verify that the static pressure in cold system is at least
15 psig.
•
Check temperature rise across boiler to ensure
adequate water flow.
•
If necessary, increase static water pressure and
decrease gas pressure.
