Insufficient heat or no heat to system (POWER light on steady)

Electrical shock hazard — Wherever you see TURN OFF POWER, follow the instructions. Failure to follow

instructions could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

Troubleshooting

(continued)

• Has it been at least 5 minutes since setting thermostat to

call for heat? If not, wait 5 minutes. Is system heating?

• Is thermostat set to call for heat? Remove thermostat

wires at boiler and check continuity across the two wires. If

circuit isn't closed, check external thermostat (zone valve,

relay, etc.) wiring. Correct problems and retry.

• Reconnect external thermostat wiring at boiler.

Is thermostat circuit closed (continuity across wires)?

No

Yes

Is boiler System circulator operating?

No

Yes

• Wait 5 minutes.

Is

FLAME light on?

No

Yes

• If you have sufficient heat — boiler should follow normal

operating sequence (Figure 75, page 65).

• If you have less than sufficient heat —

Is vent or combustion air piping free of blockage?

No

Yes

• Wait for boiler water to cool to temperature 20 to 30 °F

lower than temperature set on limit switch.

Are limit switch contacts closed?

No

Yes

Are all red lights off?

No

Yes

• Wait 30 seconds.

Are all red lights

off?

No

Yes

• Wait for cast iron

block to cool to room

temperature.

Are block switch

contacts closed?

No

Yes

• Check across thermal fuse

leads with continuity checker.

Is circuit closed?

No

Yes

• Check across limit

switch contacts with

continuity checker.

Are contacts closed?

Yes

No

• Replace IBC.
• Retest.

• Replace IBC.
• Retest.

• Correct conditions and

recheck operation. See

sequence of operation, Fig-

ure 75, page 65.

• Repair/replace circula-

tor. Retest.

• Repair/replace wiring.

Retest.

• Contact your Weil-

McLain sales represen-

tative.

• Replace

switch.

• Retest.

• Replace

thermal fuse.

• Retest.

• Replace IBC.
• Retest.

• Replace limit switch.
• Retest.

• Excessive block temperature has been reduced to safe op-

erating level. Check for low water level or mineral deposits

in sections. Correct before proceeding.

• Restart boiler and check sequence of operation (Fig-

ure 75, page 65).

• Boiler water temperature exceeded setting on limit switch

with thermostat calling for heat. Boiler is OK. (See se-

quence of operation, Figure 75, page 65)

• Also check operation of setting on limit switch (should be

above 140°F.).

• Check block switch on top of

boiler with continuity checker.

Are contacts closed?

No

Yes

• Boiler is in standby.
• Set thermostat to call for heat

and recheck operation.

• Verify sequence of operation,

Figure 75, page 65.

• Remove system circulator harness plug from

CIR-

CULATORS plug receptacle (long harness) (see

Figure 93, page 78, Item 4). Check with voltmeter

across left-side

120 VAC N and 120 VAC H pins of

receptacle.

Does voltmeter show

120 VAC across pins?

No

Yes
