HeatMaster / Blower shutting off and back on. E2 flashs
« on: February 19, 2018, 07:13:46 AM »
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.

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..

HeatMaster / Can't Keep house temp up
« on: December 23, 2013, 11:33:12 AM »
I bought a house with a Heatmaster 4000 SS and have used it for one year. Last winter it kept the house temp very nice. ( a couple times to hot since we where getting use to it)
This year is has not been as good to us. We have baseboard radiators with 3 zones and the system runs through hot water heater. If the outside temp is above 30 the house heats up to 74 (temp wife like) but if temp drops below that for several days we can not get it passed 64 -69 in any of our zones.
We have check to make sure the zones are calling for heat and inside pump is running at 12 psi. Copper pipe though out house with pex to and from OWB.
We have made sure no air was in line.
I bumped up the settings to 185 with 10 degree drop but still can not get house temp up. I have check to make sure water was indeed getting heated to 185+- at the stove.
After shutting down last year I really did not do anything to the OWB. Is there some cleaning I should of done? I know this unit is discontinued but not sure what is going on.
Any thoughts?

HeatMaster / Water Leaking From Fill Pipe
« on: November 15, 2012, 06:10:55 PM »
I purchase a home with a HM SS CS-4000 already install and it has been used for about 6 years by past owner. We have a valve inside the house that we turn on to fill the OWB with water. It ran fine when we first started it up but after a couple of weeks my wife thought the bedrooms where not getting hot enough and we wondered if we need to add more water. So I turned on the valve again and water started blowing out the pipe on the top so I turn it back off.
Since then every time we run the furnace water comes out of the small stack in low amounts but constant bases and has been doing so for the past 5 days. I have turned the main water off at the house and the water stops coming out of the stack. Once I turn it back on water starts again.
My guess is there is something wrong with the fill valve in the house and when the OWB is running it creates enough pressure to pull more water in to the tank keeping it at a overfilled level.
Anyone every have an issue like this? I hope it is just the fill valve and nothing wrong with OWB.
