Central Boiler / Re: Beeping/Alarm coming from the computer screen reading ooo?

« on: March 19, 2013, 07:08:09 PM »

My inlaws bought it back in the winter of 08. They knew we were going to buy the old farm house from them & didnt want to have the wood stove in the house anymore with the little ones. We have had alot of problems with it since we have been here. Vavles not closing. Door falling off, computer dying twice fuse blowing multi times. I know that there are many other things that I dont remember off hand. oh- and the most recent one the beeping and ooo. My father inlaw came down today and hardwired it by passing the water sensor. The dealer ( who my father inlaw has told many times that its the worst thing that we've continued to sink money into) is never excited to hear its him on the other side. Central Boiler themselves have never been very helpful & at times downright rude. I personally love the boiler- or maybe the idea of it. It heats our house pretty well-when it works- and our water.- in the long run we spend a lot less on wood then oil etc, but all these problems tend to get old, even more so in the middle of winter!

Johnny, I had mine give funny temp readings all over the place the other day after opening the cover which moved some wires.  Turned out to be a bad connection with, Get this, a splice that I made to stop the beeping problem I had with my E2300. 

enoughproblems-  I like your name.  I've felt much the same way with my CB 2300 over the last five years.  I had what I believe to be the same problem with mine last year after ramming a crowbar against the bottom of the door frame while trying to break free a bad build-up of creosote against the back wall.  I thought, OH crap!!!, what have I done?!?!.  Called my dealer and explained what I did and he suggested bypassing the low-water float switch.  That took care of it

I'll let my husband and father inlaw know when I talk to them. My father inlaw is going to call our dealer today ( they hate when he calls- he has point blankly told them it was the worst investment that we have ever made) My husband and I bought the old family farm from my inlaws- since we moved in 4 years ago, we have replaced the door ( the door fell completely off and onto the ground),  the computer twice,  many fuses- Im sure there are more that i've forgotten for a reason. It seem to be a money pit! When it works its amazing! heats our house and hot water.. but when it doent want to work... Its a huge pain in the butt!

This is just one of the many problems we have had with our boiler this year! We have looked it up in our book and it says that the problem is low water- causing the beeping reading on the monitor. My husband checked water level & it was full. but the beeping has not stopped. The comptuer is the newest part that we replaced, so we dont think its that ( it is our second computer in 3 years) Has this happened to anyone else?

can't say i know anything about them..faulty sensor? have you tried pulling the fuse that runs the OWB for 10 or 15 seconds and see if the computer will reset?

Yes, It was left out for almost a mintue- didnt help
