SECTION 12 FAULT FINDING
THERMOELECTRIC BURNER CONTROL MODELS
12.1
Ignition burner will not light
:
-
Read lighting instructions;
-
Check gas supply is turned on;
-
Air in gas supply : check purging;
-
Excessive high/low gas pressure : adjust
throttle screw figs. 11 & 12;
-
Blocked ignition burner injector orifice
-
Faulty gas valve : renew;
12.2
Ignition burner lights but will not establish
-
Loose connection on thermocouple or
reroute leads : check security;
-
Ignition burner flame too small : adjust;
-
Ignition burner jet dirty : clean;
-
Thermal overheat (limit) control LC3 loose
connection on control terminals: check
renew connection as necessary, loose
connection on gas valve;
-
Faulty thermocouple : renew;
-
Faulty gas valve : renew;
-
Faulty overheat (limit) control LC1 or LC3:
renew;
12.3
Ignition burner lights and established but main
burner will not light
:
-
Check electricity supply switched ON;
-
Check room thermostat is calling for heat
: adjust;
-
Check time switch if fitted is in ON
mode;
-
Open circuit to gas valve : check wiring;
-
Faulty gas valve : renew;
-
Faulty or loose connection on
thermocouple/LC3: check
-
If appliance is fitted with a Euroventer :
check it is operating.
12.4
Main burner lights and goes out after short period
:
-
Insufficient combustion air : open door or
window to check air supply;
-
Euroventer air flow proving operating when
flue gas is hot : check flue and Euroventer
air proving system;
-
Room thermostat in warm air flow : check
temperature around thermostat;
-
Room thermostat on vibrating surface :
check contacts chattering near set points;
-
Fan rotating slowly, heater operating on
thermal limit control LC1 : check fan
motor, suspect capacitor fault;
-
Fan guard blocked with dust to reduce air
flow : clean;
-
Discharge louvres closed : open;
-
Ambient air temperature too high, set point
reached.
HOT SURFACE IGNITION CONTROL MODELS
12.5
Burner does not light:
-
Thermostat set too low;
-
Controls fuse has blown;
-
If fitted Euroventer not operating;
-
Burner relay in lock-out or faulty;
-
Faulty thermal over heat (limit) control;
-
Thermal over heat control LC3 in lock-out
mode;
-
Faulty hot surface igniter;
-
Insufficient ionisation flame current : should
be > 2
µ
A;
-
Incorrect wiring or bad earth connection.
12.6
Cool air is discharged continuously at start up or
during operation when burner is off?
:
-
Room thermostat on : set to off;
-
Ignition burner is unlit : light up;
-
Thermal fan switch faulty : renew switch;
-
If fitted manual override fan switch in ON
mode : switch OFF;
12.7
Air circulation fan will not run
:
-
Open circuit : check;
-
Thermal fan control switch faulty : renew;
-
Defective fan motor capacitor : renew;
-
Defective motor : renew;
12.8
Air circulation fan runs and stops while burner
remains alight
:
-
Thermal fan switch heat element broken :
renew switch;
-
Low ambient temperature : wait, it will
correct as temperature rises;
-
Motor thermal overload switch operating :
check motor current rating - renew motor
if faulty;
-
Thermal fan control heater element wiring
incorrect : check, correct if necessary;
-
Faulty thermal fan control : renew;
