7.  FAILURES AND TROUBLESHOOTING. 

 

In cases of system operation failures its problems and the relevant troubleshooting have to 
be well known. In the automated pellet burner from series “GP xx sc” manual are presented 
several tables that include information about possible failures and the methods for removing 
them.  The  next  table  completes  such  information  with  data  that  could  be  useful  to  the  end 
user / servicing technician.   

 

Table 7.1. Description of the failures in the system operation, consisting of a hot water pellet 

boiler from series “Pelletherm V.4 LT” and an automated pellet burner from series “GP xx 

sc”, as well as troubleshooting information.  

 

No. 

FAILURE 

CAUSE 

TROUBLESHOOITNG 

1.    Low temperature in 

the heated premises 

Insufficient heating 
output 

It  is  necessary  to  adjust  the  burner’s 
heating output level. 

The boiler’s circulations 
water assigned 
temperature is low  

It  is  necessary  to  increase  the  circulations 
water temperature assignment. 

Low temperature 
assignment by the room 
thermostat (if connected)  

It  is  necessary  to  increase  the  room 
thermostat temperature assignment.  

2.    High temperature in 

the heated premises 

The boiler’s circulations 
water assigned 
temperature (boiler 
thermostat) is high 

It is necessary to decrease the circulations 
water 

temperature 

assignment 

(the 

minimum recommended value is 60 

o

C). 

High level of the burner’s 
heating output  

It  is  necessary  to  adjust  the  burner’s 
heating output level. 

High temperature 
assignment by the room 
thermostat (if connected) 

It  is  necessary  to  decrease  the  room 
thermostat temperature assignment  

3.    The boiler is 

switched ON but 
there is no burning 
process 

No assignment for 
operation 

Check the assignment for operation by the 
room  thermostat  and  by  the  switch 
“START”  –  see  the  burner  components 
description. 

4.    Difficult pellets 

ignition 

The pellets are with low 
quality 

It  is  required  to  change  the  fuel,  as  its 
water  content  is  probably  higher  by  the 
values  needed  for  normal  operation  of  the 
appliance.  

5.    The fuel ignition is 

accompanied by 
loud noise 

Insufficient chimney 
draught 

Consider  measures  to  increase  the 
chimney  draught*.  Clean  the  chimney, 
check  for  gaps,  check  sealing  or  ask  for 
servicing assistance. 

6.    Overheating of the 

boiler 

No heating load or 
incorrectly adjusted 
heating output level of 
the burner, or of the 
heating installation 
operation  

Check  the  heating  installation  for  correct 
operation  and  eventually  adjust  the 
operation parameters – to be performed by 
servicing  specialist.  After  the  appliance 
cools  down  and  the  failure  has  been 
removed 

deactivate 

the 

emergency 

thermostat  (unscrew  the  protection  cover 
cap,  press  the  button  and  screw  the  cap 
back), after that restart the system.  

7.    No fuel ignition 

No pellets in the fuel 
hopper 

The hopper must be refueled.  

No pellets in the burner 
zone 

The process of primary fuel ignition can be 
restored  by  restarting  the  pellet  burner.  In 
such  case  it  is  necessary  to  re-adjust  the 
ignition  doze  feeding  time  –  to  be
