General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Central Boiler boil over

« on: November 01, 2017, 03:23:26 AM »

Woke up this morning hearing my furnace kicking on at 2:30. Thinking to myself laying there why the hell is the furnace kicking on...I jump out of bed knowing there is a problem. I loaded my Central Boiler 5036 last night after dinner around 7 and everything is running great. When I ran out this morning the boiler is out almost out of water and sitting at 208 degrees. For what ever reason the damper is still open which is what caused the boil over. After turning off the power I checked all fuses and simply touched the damper door and it shuts. So I slowly started to add water back into the unit and unplugged my pump so I could watch the temp, which only got down to 131. Once the water got above my pump I  plugged the pump back up to start circulating the water. So I figured I have a bad damper solenoid. But once the temp went to 174 the damper opens. So I start a small fire so I can get the temp up to see if it closes at 185 but my question is has anyone else seen this?

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Central Boiler damper solenoids

« on: March 06, 2017, 04:39:23 PM »

Just wondering if anyone else has problems with these solenoids lasting. My 5036 is only been running a total of 9 months in the past two years and I've already had to replace 2 of these damper solenoids. Is there another solenoid to use other than the one central boiler sells? Am I doing something wrong? I scrap any creosote away as it starts to build up so it doesn't build around the damper opening. Any suggestions appreciated?
