Raypak 0180B Type H boiler troubleshooting
| PROBLEM | CAUSES | SOLUTIONS |
|---|---|---|
| 1 )When room thermostat is turned on, boiler does not operate. | 1 )No power to the boiler. | 1) Check circuit breakers, disconnect switch. Make sure power is on. |
| 2) Defective room thermostat or disconnected wire in thermostat circuit. | 2)Check continuity on thermostat and wiring circuit. Replace thermostat, or repair wiring connections. | |
| 3) Defective transformer. | 3) Check secondary voltage. If no 24V, replace transformer. | |
| 4)Defective pump relay. | 4) Check relay coil or contacts. Replace as required. | |
| 5) Defective pump. | 5) Replace pump. | |
| 2)When room thermostat is calling for heat, pump is on. but burners will not turn on. | 1)For standing pilot models, pilot burner not lighted. | 1)Light pilot burner. (Follow lighting instructions on rating plate.) |
| 2)lf pilot burner will not stay lighted, thermocouple or gas valve may be defective. | 2)Check thermocouple MV generation. If less than 25MV (open circuit), replace thermocouple. If between 2535 MV. replace gas valve. | |
| 3) Gas knob in "Pilot" position. | 3)Turn knob to "ON” position. | |
| 4) For automatic ignition models, gas valve knob is in "OFF" position. | 4) Turn gas knob to "ON". If ignition module locks out. reset by interrupting power to boiler. | |
| 5)Vent switch is open. | 5) Check for blockage of venting system or disconnected vent piping. After problem is corrected push button to reset, or replace single-use type vent switch. | |
| 6)Roll-out switch is open. | 6)Check for blockage of flue or sooted heat exchanger. After problem is corrected push button to reset or replace single use type roll-out switch. | |
| 7)High limit is open. | 7) Setting may be too low. Check water flow and adjust setting to obtain 2030°F temperature rise. | |
| 8) Fast Response Temperature Sensor probe is defective. | 8) Red LED on circuit board will be ON to indicate a loose sensor connection or a shorted sensor. Check terminal connectors or replace sensor as required. | |
| 9) Fast Response Temperature sensor board is defective. | 9)Check voltage across output and common terminals. If no 24V is present. replace board. | |
| 10) Defective ignition module or defective gas valve. | 10) Before module goes into a lock-out, check voltage across MV and MV/ PV. If no 24V is present, replace module. If 24V is present, replace gas valve. | |
| 3) Pilot Outage. | 1) Too low or too high gas pressures. | 1) Adjust inlet gas pressure as shown on rating plate. |
| (Standing pilot models) | 2) Restricted pilot. | 2) Clean pilot orifice. |
| 3) Weak thermocouple. | 3) Replace thermocouple. | |
| 4)Yellow lazy flame. | 1) Too low gas pressure. | 1) Adjust manifold pressure as shown on rating plate. |
| 2) Restricted burner intake ports. | 2) Clean burners free of debris or insects. | |
| 3) Restricted gas line. | 3) Clean gas line or increase gas line piping. | |
| 5) Sooting | 1) Insufficient combustion air. | 1) Refer to installation instructions regarding combustion air requirements. |
| 2) Improper venting. | 2) Refer to installations instructions. | |
| 3) Severe yellow burner flames. | 3) See yellow flame section above. |
