Re: Warm morning blower not shutting down
This is a vented space heater, Correct? It sounds like there may a part needed, that operates the fan. also the Whoosh tells me that you need maintenance.
Since The company that makes Warm Morning is no longer in business, you will need a professional that is familiar with older equipment. Some kid just out of trade school won't know what to do with it. The part needed for the fan to shut off earlier will need to be matched up at a supply house that has a knowledgeable counter man that can match up parts, not some new kid that only knows how to look up parts by the model and serial number of the brand of heaters they sell.
Good luck finding that guy.
Re: Pilot regulator type on a Cleaver Brooks
It may depend on what your incoming gas pressure is. Measure the inlet gas pressure and compare that to both regulators specs.
Re: Warm morning blower not shutting down
it’s shutting down on a safety.
call your service provider.

Re: How to avoid this again? Rust hole above water line burnham in4
@ethicalpaul I have double tappings with drop headers.. and the guy that did the replacement said that would the best solution for a January boiler replacement since everything lined up..no black pipe repiping, everything just fit into place.. basically slide out and slide in..
And at the time, I had no idea the burnhams had this reputation or problem
Although he wouldnt recommend Burnham, and usually installs WM from what I remember…

Re: "Duel fuel" Indirect
Just about any "solar" tank is set up this way. I had a customer recently that purchased a Richmond solar tank from the big box store and we tied his existing evacuated tube system into it, but any heat source could realistically perform the same task.

Bradford White still makes them, but I was just recently told there’s a five week lead time from RE Michel.
Someone else may have one in stock somewhere.

Re: Short cycling boiler. I'm stumped.
This will eliminate or confirm the L8124 as the cause of the short cycle. When the thermostat calls for the L8124 to operate the circulator then the burner also operates thru the 1k1 relay contact. By having the low limit operate to 170°F with a 20° diff then there will be no reason to call for heat from the thermostat while the circulator pump operates from a separate power source. This will get the heat up to the radiators. The burner will operate as if there was no call for heat and the radiators will get hot enough the heat the house.
If the circulator pump powered by the other power source is shorting out the other power source, then we will know that the circulator is causing the L8124 to short cycle the burner. If the circulator pump operates fine from the other power source and the burner operates without short cycling when there is no call for heat, then we have pinpointed the L8124 as the problem.
You have given @ColdMainer a great test to eliminate two problems and confirm one of them.
Re: Short cycling boiler. I'm stumped.
If the DHW call works consistently and just the call for heat is intermittent I would suspect the aquastat since the electrical path through it is different for the different operations.
Well stated. I agree.
This theory can be tested as follows:
- Turn the thermostat all the way down to the minimum possible temperature. The house must be above this temperature for the test to work.
- Turn the High limit up to 210.
- Turn the Low limit up to 170.
- Turn the "Diff" to 20.
- Disconnect the circulator leads and power the circulator independently from a standard outlet (not from the L8124). The circulator will run continuously.
Observe the behavior of the boiler. See if it will rise to 170F…………fall back to 150F……….and rise to 170F again without short cycling.
Of course you cannot leave it in this condition or it will overheat the building. But, it tests the L8124 to see if its K1 relay is problematical.
ALSO: When you get finished, move the THE DIFF to 15. This will cut the cycling of the boiler dramatically. Leave the LL at 170. Move the High Limit to 190.

That's the perfect sketch, Ed. Thanks for putting that up. It will really help him.

Re: Where does oil leak in a furnace?
Where are you located? Perhaps someone on here might know a good company to call in your area.
Real service technicians are still available. At my company we take pride in the fact that we do everything we can to repair systems instead of always pushing replacement equipment on customers.
