Title: electrical problem 0n my E-2400 Central Boiler
Post by: the trailmaster on January 05, 2017, 02:43:05 PM
Hope this helps someone else.  My CB 2400 died at midnight yesterday, barrel fuse burned out, replaced, and you guessed it, gone again.
In the am contacted CB dealer, who sent me a trouble shoot sheet, (5) pages, which made it so much easier.  Turned out to be my 110 volt/24 volt transformer.
An OHM meeter a must, but for $25 for the part, and help from my CB dealer, back in business. Had my boiler for five years, my elect. said, " not uncommon for transformers like this to burn out".  Thank you the Central Boiler Dealer in Ossippee NH.

trailmaster - Thanks for posting this.  It looks like a trip to my dealer in Newport, NH for a transformer is in order.  And, I'm glad to hear your dealer was helpful in helping you find the problem and resolution.  Roger

The part I needed I got at my local electric supply house.  Very common transformer used in heating systems  $27 and change.  Good luck

Is the 24V A/C or D/C?  Thanks  Roger

It would be 24 AC, to get DC you need a rectifier much like a battery charger uses.

If you have a well stocked hardware store in the area they should also handle a 120 to 24 volt transformer. A transformer is a transformer, however the mounting holes might be different.
