    I have

    a few retrofit kits in stock,, are you sure you have-it wired properly?,, or is the plug upside down?

    As far as I can see, one "micro-switch" cancels out, putting power to the other to open or close the shutter.

    Quite easy to get mixed-up,,, been there done that. But if its a retrofit, you need 3 wire to the burner instead of 2. :-)

    Not a retro fit

    I didnt install burner. Its been in approx 4 yrs with no issues, this problem showed up suddenly. Never saw this before not sure if switch assembly needs to be replaced or am i missing something simple?

    Your Air shutter is no good. Replace it or disconnect the shutter and rewire the burner to work with out it.

    I have had about a dozen of these shutters fail to open, causing an after hours no heat call. I now remove them at the time of install and remove existing ones at next tune up.

    I haven't had one go bad as of yet, but I do still prefer the hydraulic jack of yesteryear on Riello. I'm sure most won't agree, but look where we are now with failures. The older jacks would leak a little oil, but never had one that didn't open. Not saying that oil leaks are good, but they were barely noticeable.
