TROUBLESHOOTING

TABLE 8-1. BOILER TROUBLESHOOTING – Continued

FAULT INDICATION

PROBABLE CAUSES

CORRECTIVE ACTION

RESIDUAL

FLAME

1. SSOV not fully closed.

2. Defective Flame Detector

1. Check open/close indicator window of Safety Shut-Off Valve

(SSOV) and ensure that the SSOV is fully closed. If not fully
closed, replace the valve and or actuator.

Close gas shut-off valve downstream of SSOV. Install a
manometer or gauge in a gas test port between the SSOV and
the gas shut off valve. If a gas pressure reading is observed
replace the SSOV valve and or actuator.

2. Replace Flame Detector.

SSOV FAULT

DURING PURGE

See SSOV SWITCH OPEN

SSOV FAULT

DURING RUN

1. SSOV switch closed for 15 seconds

during run.

1. Replace or adjust microswitch in SSOV actuator. If fault

persists, replace actuator.

SSOV RELAY

FAILURE

1. SSOV relay failed on board.

2. Floating Neutral.



3. Hot and Neutral reversed at SSOV.

1. Press CLEAR button and restart unit. If fault persists, replace

Ignition/Stepper (IGST) Board.

2. The Neutral and Earth Ground are not connected at the source

and therefore there is a voltage measured between the two.
Normally this measurement should be near zero or no more than
a few millivolts.

3. Check SSOV power wiring.

SSOV

SWITCH OPEN

1. Actuator not allowing for full closure

of gas valve

2. SSOV powered when it should not be

3. Defective Switch or Actuator


4. Incorrectly wired switch.

1. Observe operation of the Safety Shut-Off Valve (SSOV) through

indicator on the Valve actuator and ensure that the valve is fully
and not partially closing.

2. If the SSOV never closes, it may be powered continuously. Close

the gas supply and remove power from the unit. Refer fault to
qualified service personnel.

3. Remove the electrical cover from the SSOV and check switch

continuity. If the switch does not show continuity with the gas
valve closed, either adjust or replace the switch or actuator.

4. Ensure that the SSOV Proof of Closure switch is correctly wired.

STEPPER MOTOR

FAILURE

1. Air/Fuel Valve out of calibration.

1. Refer to GF-112 and perform Stepper Test (para. 6.3.5) to

ensure stepper motor rotates properly between the 0% (fully
closed) and 100% (fully open) positions. Verify that the VALVE
POSITION bargraph and the dial on the Air/Fuel Valve track
each other to indicate proper operation. If operation is not
correct, perform the Stepper Feedback Calibration (GF-112,
para. 6.2.1).
