Hello,
I bought a house in Rumford Maine that has a Heatmor 200CSS 2009. I was not left a manual but did find some online. It will not heat up over 175 and when it did finally, after 2 days, get to 177 the fan shut off and will not come back on. The Auqastat thing in the back is set at the 200* factory setting. The fan was running during the first trial run and then too shut off. The fan worked after I let the fire go almost out when I did this last attempt. I do have heat and hot water. However, it is 50 degrees so I'm not sure about next week when the temps drop.
The oil boiler in my home kept coming on so I shut off the main switch (red) and now the boiler will not come back on and the panic button (red) to restart it is not popped out as it should be after being shut off.
During my first trial run there was air in the pipes so I bled them.
As you can see I am very handy. I just for the life of me can not figure out why the fan will not come back on. Yes, I moved the ashes from the front so to not black the air flow.
HELP, the cold is coming.

Have you checked to see if your circuit breaker
Has trip out or you still have power to the boiler

If your boiler has a high limit aqua stat or snap disc I'm guessing it tripped and is not resetting. When things like this get wore out they can trip before the limit is reached and not reset.
I actually had one on a grain dryer that my cousin owned that was supposed to cut out at 260 but was tripping at 160. Once it tripped the only way to get it to reset was to kill the power and wait till morning.
