TROUBLESHOOTING
8 -5
TABLE 8-1. BOILER TROUBLESHOOTING – Continued
FAULT INDICATION PROBABLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
(continued) 7. Carbon or other debris on Burner
8. Staged ignition valve closed.
7. Remove the burner and inspect for any carbon or debris. Clean
and reinstall.
8. Open 1/4” ball valve downstream of the SSOV (see Figure 8-1).
FLAME LOSS
DURING RUN
1. Worn Flame Detector or cracked
ceramic.
2. Defective Differential Regulator.
3. Poor combustion calibration.
4. Debris on burner.
5. Blocked condensate drain.
1. Remove and inspect the Flame Detector for signs of wear or
cracked ceramic. Replace if necessary.
2. Check gas pressure readings using a gauge or manometer into
and out of the Air/Fuel Valve to ensure that the gas pressure
into and out of the valve is correct.
3. Check combustion calibration. Adjust as necessary.
4. Remove the burner and inspect for any carbon or debris. Clean
and reinstall.
5. Remove blockage in condensate drain.
HEAT DEMAND
FAILURE
1. The Heat Demand Relays on the
Ignition/Stepper board failed to
activate when commanded
2. Relay is activated when not in
Demand
1. Press CLEAR button and restart the unit. If the fault persists,
replace Ignition/Stepper (IGST) Board.
2. Defective relay. Replace IGST Board.
HIGH EXHAUST
TEMPERATURE 1. Defective exhaust sensor.
2. Carboned heat exchanger due to
incorrect combustion calibration
1. Measure the actual exhaust temperature and continuity of the
exhaust sensor. If the exhaust temperature is less than 475 o F
and the exhaust sensor shows continuity replace the sensor.
2. If exhaust temperature is greater than 500 o F, check
combustion calibration. Calibrate or repair as necessary.
HIGH GAS
PRESSURE
1. Incorrect supply gas pressure.
2. Defective SSOV Supply Regulator.
1. Check to ensure gas pressure at inlet of SSOV is 2 psig
maximum.
2. If gas supply pressure downstream of SSOV cannot be lowered,
to 1.8” W.C. (see para. 4.3, step 10), the SSOV Supply
Regulator may be defective.
