14. Fault location guide
Gas burner
The basis for a trouble free operation can only be ensured by the correct
combined effect of the three factors:
electricity, gas low and combustion air. Should any of these factors change,
troubles may arise.
t has been proved that many troubles have rather simple causes. Before
calling the serviceman, the following checks should be made:
o facilitate fault location we have drawn up a scheme showing the most
frequent faults in a gas burner installation and the remedies.
1.
Are the gas cocks of the installation open?
2.
Are the fuses in order and the current switched on?
3.
Are the controls (room thermostat, boiler thermostat etc.) correctly
adjusted?
4.
Is the gas pressure to the burner suficient?
5.
Is the gas relay of the burner ready for start and not locked out?
6.
Is the air supply to the burner suficient?
Cause
Remedy
The burner does not start
No gas
Check that all gas cocks are open.
No voltage

connections.
The burner motor fails to start
The thermal protection has locked out.
Motor defective.
The gas relay is defective
Replace
Burner motor is running but no
ignition after the pre-purge time has elapsed
No voltage on the terminals
Check the contact. Replace faulty relay
The ignition electrodes in contact with each other or with earth
Adjust
The porcelain of the electrodes is broken
Replace the electrodes
The cable shoes have bad contact
Improve the contact
The ignition cables are damaged
Replace
The ignition transformer is damaged, no voltage on the secondary
side
Replace the transformer
The ignition cable and the ionisation cable have been transposed.
Change
No flame establishment despite a trouble free start
The gas solenoid valve defective
Replace
The gas solenoid valve does not open despite its obtaining voltage
Replace coil or the whole valve if necessary.
