Trouble Shooting
Problem Cause Solution
Boiler does not come up to temperature. Green or soft wood is being used,
Coals are not being pushed over holes
before loading Use dry, hard wood
Keep hot coals pushed over holes in floor
The boiler is at temperature and is
steaming Poor water circulation (excess fittings, too
small of pipe, improper installation) Change to a larger pump, use min 1” pipe and
sweeping bends instead of 90’s
Poor burn time
Green or soft wood is being/was used,
too much demand on unit,
undersized for application Use dry, seasoned hard wood, clean ash from
refractory
lower home temperature set points, insulate home
better
Boiler is up to temperature but little to
no heat in house Poor circulation (A simple test can be done
to determine if this is so: touch the pex line
leaving and returning to boiler. There
should be little or no temperature
difference)
Heat exchanger plugged
Improperly designed installation
Not enough insulation in building Change to a larger pump
Clean with white vinegar – be sure to use NC
boiler treatment for water jacket to prevent this
Use min 1” pipe, reduce number of 90’s & T’s
used, re-route lines
Add insulation to structure
Boiler over heats Air leak
Poor circulation
Water is low in boiler
Aqua-stat malfunction Make sure doors and covers ares sealed & adjust
if necessary
Larger pump, reduce # of fittings
Add water to keep full
Replace Aqua-stat
Boiler fire does not stay lit Not leaving some coals in burn area
No air flow,
Fire smoldering out
Load sooner to have more coals
replace blower
buy timer relay to for auto cycle
Good wood but does not burn. Only
smolders Holes in floor and/or boost air ports
plugged,
Damper not opening
Completely clean ash from all areas of boiler
check controls
Boiler up to temperature but no heat in
house Circulation pump failed
See maintenance section on “pump”
Boiler water getting rusty Not enough or no boiler treatment Have your water tested. Boiler treatment is
required for warranty to be valid. See warranty.
Blower turns on but actuator doesn’t
open damper Loose electrical connection
DC Power supply, actuator or CR1 has
failed Turn power off and check all wire connections
Replace failed component
Water leaking from boiler Condensation from first start-up of boiler
Condensation from wet wood Wait for water to come up to temperature
Burn only seasoned hardwood
Aquastat calling for heat but unit not
running Front or rear switch is off
Safety thermal snap disc was tripped Turn on front or rear switch
Allow to cool to ~160F to reset thermal snap disc
