Hi, it is cold here in Pittsburgh and our second floor wasn't getting heat. I bled the radiators first because there is so much noise when the heat kicks on, gurging, bubling, running water etc. I was getting no water when I tried to bleed valves upstairs. So, I thought system needed water as the automatic fill valve was closed going to boiler-not sure how that happened. Anyway, I made a BIG mistake by not letting the boiler cool enough and when I opened the valave to add water, it was okay for a minute but then the boiler just stopped dead and I smelled burnt electronics which eventually went away. And , I thought I hear a very small "pop" sound when boiler shut off. No leaks on boiler, took front cover off, looked at electronics and nothing appeared burnt but I could still sense a residule odor. I checked breaker but that;s fine. I tuned the on/off switch on an off and I called a couple of HVAC people but they are way too busy. I included a couple of pics. Thanks very much in advance for any help.
