HeatMaster / Re: Blower shutting off and back on. E2 flashs
« on: February 26, 2018, 10:24:45 AM »
Just reporting back.  I got the new sensor installed and everything is working fine.

Side note, wiring the sensor was a little difficult with my big hands.  Wish they turned the connections perpendicular to board but I guess they wanted them in line with the hole in bottom

Again thanks for the information.

That is what I kind of thought.  If anyone has the part number or specs I could get one at a local Grainger store on my way home tonight.  Else I will have to get into it tonight find part number and then replace tomorrow.

Thanks for the input.

I have an older CS 4000 which was installed by previous owner of home.  I have use for the last 5 yrs.

Today I notice that the blower was running about 2 min then turning off.  It will kick back on within 3 min and run for another 2 -3.  So off and on.

Temp is set to 170 drop 10 deg but control panel say temp is 140 so it should be blowing.

The control panel flash E2 which I understand means it has forgot it settings.  I assume I have an issue with the control panel and needs to be replace.

Since this is an older model I am not sure where I need to get the part.  Control board in it has been replace once the pervious owner has told me but I do not know if they had dealer order the part.  It say it is a Ranco Electric Temp Control anyone know if this was the control panel from heatmaster or did owner put an replacement in that just worked.

Need to get it fixed Missouri temp this time of the year is up then down.  60 today but 30s the rest of the week.

Mine is installed 20' from my house on a full slab.  Pour the slab can not count how many time hot coal have drop on the ground when opening the door.  Easier to stomp out or scoop up off concrete.  Mine sits under our yard light so nighttime fills are not a blind event

Have a friend that install his over 100 ft away but he heats his barn also so he split the distance. It still make a walk to load in the dark.

Thinking of upgrading my furnace in a year or so.  Just wondering on prices that you just gave.

Are they for:

$$ for furnace only - buyer picks up
$$ for furnace plus delivery

Looking to budget my money I like to pay cash.

Also,  I know I will have to contact dealer in my area but do some dealers buy used furnaces or would I have to try to sell on my own?

I understand.  If I owned he house before it was installed I would of known more.  I had never even seen a OWB until we bought this house.

I put in a valve two fill OWB from main water supply inside house.  Put it in place so that if zone valves are open the water will flow through zones before reaching boiler.  So what I did was open all zone valves and push water from main supply throughout the whole system.  Once I got a steady line of water coming out of overflow stack I closed it down.

This should of push all the air out of lines.  House did get nice and warm last night 76 deg. so I think I am good.  It is the first time all season that I got all the zones in my house above 64 deg when outside temps was in single digits.

One thing about having issues is it really makes you learn about how it is suppose to work.

Thanks to everyone for your help.

HeatMaster / Air in lines
« on: February 07, 2014, 12:18:07 PM »
Guys,

I just made some modifications to my plumbing on my system.  It was plumb through a heat exchanger tied into a propane boiler in the house.  I just went to running just my OWB since I was having major heat loss at the heat exchanger and was never going to use that old boiler but will add new in house system in a few years..

Question is now there is some air in the lines.  Do I just wait until it works its way out of the system?  I was thinking since it is open at the overflow that the air will work its way out.  I have floor board registers can try to burb each one if need be but will have to get the right wrench to do so..

Thanks Scott,

I have close all valves to remove hot water heater from them system until I verify how it was connected.  Had a local plumber help.  Hate the fact that I did not own the home when installed so I know what was done and that home inspector did not know anything about these systems.  Been running in the dark as you can tell.

Guess I will be downloading a installation diagram for how it should be hooked up and going through it with the plumber to make sure it is corrected,

OK so I believe we got to the issue.

The system is going through the hot water heater.  I assumed this was a closed circuit but it appears it is not.  There were some valves on the hot water heater that were not close thus it was adding cold water back into the system.

Most likely why my 40 deg temp drop and diff. why water was coming out of overflow stack.

We will see tonight how hot the house gets.

So here is another question.  Should a system that goes through hot water heater be closed or open system.  If open how does the water keep from contamination and how does it keep from adding to much water back into the system?  Man there is a lot to learn here.

I will get the reading at furnace tomorrow before going into ground.  Wonder if the water leaking out of overflow is my issue.  Seem there is a large ice collection around the conduit going into ground.

OK so I got Temp readings now.  Furnace is set to 185 with 10 degree drop

Heat Exchanger
TL 143 degree (pex I believe this is from OWB in)
TR 86 degree at exchanger but 123 2ft away from the exchanger (copper to zone valves)
BL 121 degree (pex return to OWB my guess)
BR 106 degree (copper at pump)

Before Zones 115 degree
Z1 out 110
Z2 out 112
Z3 out 115

Floor radiators are 112 to 119 degrees

I assume temp measurments are could be off a little depending the gun and the user.

Another thing that is strange is I have had water coming out of the overflow stack ever since I filled the unit.  Only comes out when the blower is blowing.  Is there something else that could pull water into the system other than a bad fill valve? (might be related I do not know)

Not sure who installed the unit since it was here when I bought the home.  There are only 2 dealers in MO and neither are real close by.  I contacted the closes one when the blower went out on front door.  He said he never seen this model but did get me the part.

Radiators are warm to touch and hot if you leave hand on them awhile.

I will contact dealer.

I really do not have the knowledge on these types of systems I guess.  We had two zone valves replaced because they where not turning on pump when the called for heat.

I do not know how to do what you are asking so I guess I am stuck paying someone to come out again but not to many repair people have even seen these things and I have had a couple say well maybe it just can not keep up.

Since it is discontinued model I may be stuck until spring with it.
