Oil Boiler Issues

[Cowe_Plumbing]

Yeah I took about 10- 15 Litre out of another oil tank where I was servicing another boiler that was running with no issues as the fuel depo wont supply me with oil under 500 Litres.

just randomly thinking is it reset right away could it be the control box that is away.

The other thing is save your self the heart break and call the manufacturer out sometimes you just need to walk away from job like this

The manufacturers will not attend due to the location of the boiler. They have offers advice as have riello but so far it hasn't made a difference to the way the boiler has ran.
It is almost getting to the point that labour costs will out weight the price of another boiler, I am not keen on this as I hate the thought of something mechanical beating me, there is an issue for sure so it is going to be possible to sort it but it is getting expensive for the customer or me as it is hard to charge. Even if I do go down the route of another boiler I can't be sure that it will be any better....
Thanks for all your help so far chaps,

Next time wait and let the burner run the hour. That way you will find out if the burner fails and goes to lockout while it was running, or if it lockout on the cycle.

What voltage are you getting off the control winding off the motor. It's a white wire, from memory but memory is crap these days it should be around 60v.
And a daft question, it's not running gas oil is it?

Bit late sorry, is the pump shifting the heat and not overheating - check flues seals,

How has this one ended??

Kevin D - 50v on the white wire :smile:

Vacuum at the tank? Checked the tank vent?

Hope it's running OK now, sounds like a big bill for the customer :rolleyes2:

or it could be just a solenoid needing swapping for a new one on the fuel pump

You sure its locking out and not going off on the stat? Have you checked the custards nomenclature? Ive had this, even recently...Im chasing a lock out but it turns out to be control related
