    Boiler still shuts off

    finally Well, I think we had two issues...Low water and air AND an intermediate short in the wiring at the pump. My step son as here for Christmas, he is a journeybman Electrician. We thought it was the pump and he confirmed and was able to "fix" it until we can replace it. Thanks for all the...

    Mystery Boiler from hell

    After all sorts of trouble...it was working, circulating...every radiator heating....I was convinced that it had been a lack of water and pressure, it ran great for hours...then we woke up cold. The aquastat askes the pump to circulate at the call for heat...whether or not the blower and...

    Boiler Heat System shuts off....

    maybe pump not runnin So, it seems that maybe the taco 007 is not running, or if it is it isn't very much. After all the trouble shooting and adjusting and bleeding everyone of those raditors, still no heat. The thing is, it was working, then it just quit. So, I think that the pump is...

    rewire ok, we put the wires where they need to be, and it sounds like the pump is working, even when the burner/blower is not.. man this is a mess...the tech really screwed us up. So I am back to the begining, everything seem to be ok, except no heat to the radiators....

    Boiler Heat System shuts off....

    volt check ok, volt check on c1 to c2 was 124.5v and we found that the pump is wired directly into L1 and L2...and it was 124.8v..So if the tech hooked me up direct? why does the pump not run?

    Pump ony runs when burner/blower are on

    heat only boiler This is a single pump heat, boiler to pipes to baseboard radiators. Manual says the pump should run thorughout the full call for heat,not just when the burner/blower is on. Because it is only circulating a few minutes, system never cools and shuts right down. The aquastat...

    Boiler Heat System shuts off....

    reply It is a one pump system. The aquastat must be bad....it is not turning the pump on at the right time, so yes..it is overheating and shutting down...all the outgoing pipes are hot, return is cooler.....we have have no heat per say. Thermostate says 50-55, but I have been burning a wood...

    Pump ony runs when burner/blower are on

    So, after alot of reading and troubleshooting we have determined that the Taco pump only runs when the blower /burners are on. It is my impression that is is supposed to run off the inital call for heat, then the water temp determines the blower/burner coming on. So, is this a bad aquastat...

    Boiler Heat System shuts off....

    good advice So, we did some trouble shooting and have determined this. The expansion tank is not waterlogged and has the right air pressure We have figured out that the Taco pump is not pumping when a call for heat is issued. It only runs when the blower and burners are running. SO...
