E20 purge running constantly

I awoke to boiler purge running constantly. Only way to stop it was turning power off. I noticed pilot light was off and tried to get pilot lit while power off . No good. Changed out thermocoupler hoping to get lucky. No good. What have I got going on and what do I need to do. I have had a 14 year run on this burner. Thanks

    @hyper1also , first thing I'd check is the thermostat circuit. A short in this circuit will make the burner run continuously. Disconnect one of the thermostat wires- if the burner stops, that's your problem.

    What boiler is this E20 installed in?

    The relay contacts on the burner tray may be stuck. Contact R.L. Gourley, 80 Felton St. Waltham. Ma.
    781-894-9500 Do you have the manual for the burner if so the part number will be listed in the parts section. If you have further questions Call Tim McElwain 401-437-0557
