Section 5 - Troubleshooting

SECTION 5 – TROUBLESHOOTING

A.  OUTDOOR FURNACE DOES NOT HEAT  

  (BUILDING IS LOSING TEMPERATURE)

1.  Out of wood - Check firebox to see if fire is out. Add 

wood as necessary. Use good quality wood since 

poor quality wood will have very short burn times.

2.  Circulation valve(s) closed - Be sure all valves in 

the system are open.

3.  Circuit breaker off - Check the circuit breaker that 

supplies power to the outdoor furnace.

 4. Solenoid not operating properly - Disconnect 

power to the furnace; then check the fuse in the 

control panel. If fuse is blown, check damper 

door for obstructions and for free movement. Be 

sure damper door works freely; then replace the 

fuse. Check the solenoid plunger free length. With 

the damper door fully closed, the correct length 

is  between  15/16"  and  1"  (see  Fig.  48). Adjust  if 

necessary, but do not exceed 1". Be sure that the 

damper door (when activated by the solenoid) does 

not contact the louvered cover. Lubricate or adjust 

as necessary. Check that the spring-loaded linkage 

and damper door are not binding and that the spring 

is not broken or missing.

5.  Circulation pump(s) not operating - Check that 

circulation pumps are operating. If not, disconnect 

power to the pump. Close valves at the pump. 

Disassemble the pump and try to turn the pump 

shaft. If the shaft is stuck, replace the pump cartridge. 

Replace  only the cartridge whenever possible. If 

necessary,  replace the pump. Follow instructions 

supplied with the pump.

6.  Air in system - Check for air in the water lines or 

heat exchangers. If you hear a gurgling sound in a 

heat exchanger, air is present in the system. Shut off 

the pump, wait 15 seconds and start the pump. If it 

is necessary to force air from lines, refer to Initial 

Start-up Procedures.

7.  Outdoor furnace exhaust obstructed - Check 

furnace exhaust for obstructions by observing the 

amount of smoke coming out of the chimney with 

the firebox door slightly ajar. If smoke seems very 

restricted, remove the firewood and hot coals; then 

check the chimney (top and bottom) and behind 

the  baffle  for  obstructions.  On  4030  models  only, 

check that the chimney restrictor is not plugged with 

creosote and that it is positioned 11" in from the end 

of the chimney tee.

8.  Building(s) poorly insulated or uninsulated - 

Poorly insulated or uninsulated buildings, buildings 

with uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, or a 

lack of proper insulation under radiant flooring can 

cause excessive fuel consumption and/or heating 

problems.

9.  Supply and return lines installed incorrectly - 

Make sure the hot supply water line is connected to 

the correct fitting on the outdoor furnace and heat 

exchanger.

10. Circulation pump(s) installed backwards - Check 

that pump flow direction is correct. If not, shut off 

power  to  pump.  If  the  flow  is  not  in  the  correct 

direction, disconnect pump from water line and 

reverse  pump  mounting  to  correct  flow  direction. 

If the pump is not mounted on the outdoor furnace, 

check for proper pump mounting location (see Fig. 

17-18).

11. Underground supply and return lines insulated 

poorly - Heat loss from poorly insulated underground 

supply and return lines is often indicated by an 

unusually high amount of snow melting above 

the lines when the ground temperature is 10º F or 

colder.

12. Supply and return lines uninsulated - Uninsulated 

supply and return lines in areas that are not intended 

to be heated (unheated crawl spaces, under mobile 

homes, etc.) may cause excessive heat loss. Insulate 

the supply and return lines.

13. Poor water quality - Water with high amounts of 

solids, sand or dirt can create deposits inside the wall 

of heat exchanger components, reducing the amount 

of heat output. If this condition is suspected, contact 

your Central Boiler dealer.

B.  OUTDOOR FURNACE IS OVERHEATING

1.  Air entering through the door - Make sure 

the  firebox  door  is  properly  latched  and  check 

the condition of the door rope. If it is not sealing 

properly (indicated by a uniform indentation in the 

rope), replace the rope. If door does not close tightly, 

adjust using the appropriate procedure (see Owner 

Serviceable Items).

2.  Air entering through the damper - Check to be 

sure the damper is operating correctly as explained 

in section A.4. Be sure the damper closes all the way 

and that no obstructions are present. The damper can 

wear a groove or the bracket can loosen over time. 

If that is the case, the damper may need replacement 

and/or the bracket may need to be adjusted and 

tightened.

  If the solenoid is sticking, lubricate with silicone 

spray or a light petroleum distillate (WD-40 or 

equivalent). Check linkage for binding, or for a 

missing or broken spring.
