    Overfilled boiler

    I was trying to help a friend whose boiler keeps overfilling. It has a McDonnel Miller LWCO unit with a Hydrolevel probe in it. When I pulled it out, it was totally gunked up, as I expected. I also found that the ceramic sleeve around the end of the probe appeared to be cracked at the base and was loose on the probe. Am I correct to assume the unit has to be completely replaced?

    Probe

    Would be cheaper for your friend to just replace the probe.

    No, Ed, the LWCO is electrical, not mechanical. Not familiar with any adapter.
