TABLE 8-1: HEATING BOILER TROUBLESHOOTING – Continued
FAULT INDICATION
PROBABLE CAUSES
CORRECTIVE ACTION
FLAME LOSS
DURING IGN
(continued)
6.
Carbon or other debris on
Burner.
7.
Staged ignition solenoid valve
doesn’t open.
8.
Clogged staged ignition piece.
6.
Remove View-Port and inspect Burner with Boroscope. If
it is fouled or black with soot, remove the Burner and
inspect for any carbon build-up or debris. Clean and
reinstall.
7.
When unit goes to ignition, listen for a clicking sound at
the staged ignition solenoid valve to ensure it is opening.
8.
Remove and inspect staged ignition piece for blockage.
FLAME LOSS
DURING RUN
1.
Worn Flame Detector or cracked
ceramic.
2.
Defective 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 using procedures in
Chapter 4.
4.
Remove the burner and inspect for any carbon build-up or
debris. Clean and reinstall.
5.
Remove blockage in condensate drain.
HEAT DEMAND
FAILURE
1.
The Heat Demand Relays on the
Ignition/Stepper (IGST) 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.
Poor combustion calibration.
2.
Carboned heat exchanger due to
incorrect combustion calibration.
1.
Check combustion calibration using procedures in
Chapter 4.
2.
If exhaust temperature is greater than 200
o
F (93.3
o
C),
check combustion calibration. Calibrate or repair as
necessary.
