Title: CL4436 Start of season issues
Post by: Billaban on December 18, 2022, 08:04:48 AM
Greetings.

I have a Central CL4436 which I inherited when we bought the property 7 years ago or so.  Had to replace the pump once and rigged a wireless thermostat controller for the pump but otherwise no issues.  We use it for several months a year here in southern VA.  This year there appears to be problem, i.e., I can't rely on the damper opening when the water temp drops.  The damper will open when I open the door to the control panel but typically will shut again when I close the control panel door.  This morning the fire was practically out and after I played with the control panel door (opening/closing) the damper door stayed open. 

My presumption is that there isn't a problem with the damper door but with the electronics controlling the damper door.  I suspect this will be an expensive fix but I have never dismantled this part of the system.  Perhaps this is best left to a service provider?

Comments or suggestions?

Thanks.
