    24v relay with loud humm and no noise from circulartor

    half of my basement is actually somewhat finished. i just completed that task, but I chose not to insulate in the basement so we could enjoy the coolness in the summer months, we just put brand new R38 batts up in the attic when we had to remove old vermiculite which was the best thing we could...

    24v relay with loud humm and no noise from circulartor

    I did want to ask about that, Furnace being around 27 years old, I actually had to replace alot of parts before i got to this point. 1. Initially the pilot wouldn't light because the connection was weak, replacing the pilot starter resolved the problem. 2. Ancient Auto air vent started weeping...

    24v relay with loud humm and no noise from circulartor

    After inspecting the circulator last night The only noise you hear is a very unique electrical buzz completely different from the low humm of circulating water, as was said probably because the relay is outputting more power then needed to get the rotor moving so judging by this i'm confident...

    24v relay with loud humm and no noise from circulartor

    Thanks for the excellent advice! I'll double check and see if I feel anything or hear anything coming out of that circulator.

    24v relay with loud humm and no noise from circulartor

    locked/ binding circulator sounds plausible, last time I touched the circulator for the trouble zone, I didn't feel or hear any sounds of movement, however that circulator gets extremely hot, hotter then other working zones.. I'll double check it, in the event that is bound, I believe you can...

    24v relay with loud humm and no noise from circulartor

    Each zone has it's own taco circulator 007. it's strange because I only seen 3 taco pumps on each zone return I've never found the 4th pump.. I don't believe there is one because it should be outside the boiler correct? I'll have to grab some photos. I don't see any zone valves the only...

    24v relay with loud humm and no noise from circulartor

    I'm pretty sure that the zone relay operates different circulator pumps, and i'm thinking the culprit is the zone relay itself, but the zone relay is only failing on one zone, this is the replacement part I've been thinking of swapping out. I notice that it buzzes louder when trying to operate...

    24v relay with loud humm and no noise from circulartor

    My theory of repair would be to 1. replace the 24v relay, if that doesn't resolve the issue, then replace the circulator pump, does this sound right?

    24v relay with loud humm and no noise from circulartor

    I've actually looked over my system a few times i do not believe I have electronically controlled zone valves, but just regular shut off valves, it's an older system. thanks for the suggestion!

    24v relay with loud humm and no noise from circulartor

    Hello, I have a weil Mclain series 10 CGM boiler, 27 years old apparently. Still runs really well. It heats three zones, I have a one story home, pressure is a constant reliable 15 psi and the boiler heats well, one day I noticed the boiler relay humming extra loudly and wouldn't turn off. I...
