Honeywell Oil Intermittent Box

Member Posts: 1
Thermostat calls for heat. Oil furnace will not go on till I tap the Honeywell's intermittent box.Then furnace is working Stays on till set temp is reached. Next time there is a call for heat it may or may not kick on till I go back downstairs to box that has ff ,tt terminals. Tapping the box gets furnace going again Never locks outside. Should I replace or clean contacts inside box? Thanks inadvance

Are the wires and terminal tight ? Replace the primary control . Metal cover with plastic red button attached to the cover ? With that condition a small soldered in screw falls out holding the clapper to the board normally falls out with vibration .. Since it's a safety control just replace it .I have enough experience to know , that I dont know it all0

What brand and model (primary) box?
Pics?
Is it TT and FF only or is there a terminal block with R,W,C,G,Y?
In either case, it seems like faulty contacts. The "tap" just helps them close.0 -
C'mon @HVACNUT, it's a Honeywell Oil Intermittent Box...lol
If someone is calling it that, they shouldn't be touching (or tapping, kicking hitting, throwing voodoo signs at) it, right?steve1 -
Probably an R8184G which IIRC no longer meets Code. @Joehawthorn , you need a pro on this. Where are you located?All Steamed Up, Inc.
