Heating Help

my house

@ May 9, 2012 1:42 PM in Another "What is this?".

I had this in my house when I bought it. Evidently the roof leaked at one time and the water would run down the pipe into the "moisture dissipater"...aka a rag

Software

@ April 3, 2012 8:37 AM in HTP dealer software fault history issue

Make sure you have the newest version..revision1/release10 and also make sure you run as admin. otherwise you could run into issues

No Problem

@ February 22, 2012 8:04 AM in Munchkin 140M Air Switch

Did you have a gas smell? Everything from the blower down to the combustion chamber is at a positive so you would only smell it while it's running. Glad I could help though!

Subject is dead

@ February 20, 2012 1:29 PM in New Lochinvar Knight Installation

You come on these forums with little information except that you want to preach how bad Lochinvar is. When asked for info or pictures you put it off and then go on your tangent again!? You're dealing with some of the most knowledgeable people in the states(excluding me) and it seems as though you really don't want an answer because you're afraid of the truth.

Terminations

@ February 20, 2012 1:11 PM in New Lochinvar Knight Installation

I would like to see pictures of where the vents come outside. It also wouldn't hurt to get a closer shot of piping inside

Sounds about right...most likely a bad Blower motor, but kind of a crap shoot

picture

@ February 20, 2012 12:59 PM in New Lochinvar Knight Installation

Can you get some better picture? One out of focus picture is not going to help resolve this. I would love to see a picture of the vent terminations on this job.

The pressure switch hose connects to a nipple at the base of the Blower motor. By base I mean where it would connect to the spacer block on the right side(if you're facing it). If you have replaced the blower it might not have the nipple.

Lower price

F05

@ January 6, 2012 5:29 PM in Munchkin 80 / SS-45 Question

He is referring to the supply from the boiler. Most likely when the unit fires up for domestic it is not flowing whether it be from a bad/plugged pump or obstruction in the boiler/piping. If you reset the unit and watch it you will probably notice the display temperature rise up significantly fast and then jump out on high limit. It will also sound like your boiler is making popcorn inside. If this is the case I would recommend calling a contractor in.
There is also the small possibility that this could be a thermistor error. You will find an Ohm chart in your manual by the fault codes to check that direction.

No issue

@ December 29, 2011 12:30 PM in Superstor with carcked shell

If I remember right the "hole" problem...pun intended was from when the press they used to cut the holes out got dull. It would not make a clean cut and would split from the expansion of the tank. It's just cosmetic and does not pose a danger to anything.

One more thing

@ December 20, 2011 4:16 PM in Peerless PI-80, F14 Fault

Just noticed they used a concentric kit on it. I'm not a fan as these things can recirc badly on low fire. Might not be an issue, but have you contractor put his analyzer in the intake when its on low fire and see if he is getting any CO. Might have to extend the exhaust out a bit.

F14

@ December 20, 2011 3:43 PM in Peerless PI-80, F14 Fault

Your F14 is probably just a bad blower motor. F13 and F14 codes are generally the motor(95% of the time) The other 5% are the main control board and then harness in that order. This will be kind of a crap shoot, but I would check the five pin harness for any breaks or corrosion. The only thing that slows that motor down is the signal in recieves on that harness. If you don't see any sign then go ahead and replace the motor. I have never had a swirl plate cause an F13 or a F14....not saying it couldn't happen, but that in niether here nor there as you have a Honeywell with a venturi. Good luck and 7250p-085 is the one you are looking for.

I Always thought

@ July 12, 2011 3:58 PM in Strange residue in Giannoni heat exchanger

That the "coffee grounds" were impurities in the gas. If they are in fact magnetic, then it could be from the gas pipe making it's way through the blower/burner..?

Swirl

@ March 24, 2011 12:59 PM in Munchkin F16 code

Yes Dungs has the swirl plate and Honeywell has the venturi cone. Dungs didn't come into play until early 2005.

No swirl plate

@ March 23, 2011 5:31 PM in Munchkin F16 code

His unit shouldn't have a swirl plate. The Dungs valve wasn't introduced until 2005. I would say the problem lies in the blower or board.

that target wall looks fine

@ March 23, 2011 5:26 PM in Exploding Peerless Pinnacle Boiler

I wouldnt replace the target wall unless it's cracked or missing pieces. I would like to see a picture of the burner/faceplate assembly

Most likely burner gasket

@ March 23, 2011 5:23 PM in Exploding Peerless Pinnacle Boiler

Typically on "exploding" units I find the cause to be
1.Burner gasket missing or damage to burner flange
2.Igniter arcing from either a wet refractory or damage
3.Swirl plate being damaged(you may or may not have one on this unit
That picture almost makes me think you might have a leak in the coil though. Normally the crud inside looks like coffee grounds, not calcium/scale. I could very well be wrong though.

PVC

@ February 21, 2011 5:10 PM in resealing analyzer probe holes in vent

For PVC I use 5/16" PVC hex bolts. Got them from Mcmaster-Carr.

outdoor reset

@ September 30, 2010 4:58 PM in 1/2 inch pex for baseboards?

Your boiler came with vision 1 and should have an outdoor sensor laying around somewhere. Use it! I agree the temp seems pretty high.

Power

@ July 28, 2010 11:44 AM in Munchkin Boiler Power Out Restart?

First thing is make sure you have 120v coming ionto the boiler. Most likely it blew the fuse on the board (take the cover off and look by the 4 pin connector) There should be an extra fuse connected to the cover of the board. Otherwise radio shack carries them.
