Hello all you great and good people... I do hope I can find a little help with this inoperative boiler.
Its my boiler but the wife loves it too...when it's working.
Thursday morning no central heating on! No hot water!
Boiler locked out...I reset it and it fired up. Different tone coming from oil pump! Ran at allotted times thro day
Friday morning no ch no hw!
Its an Electro Oil Inter burner b11
Reset oil pump v noisy, so purchased another pump later in day fitted it primed it and attempted to fire it up no joy!
On reset after no fire lock out, tried again no click from solenoid so no oil delivery thro pump to nozzle. Tried several times to no avail. Checked wiring all intact.
In desperate attempt to isolate fault bought a new Honeywell controller. Inserted controller .....no fire no solenoid click!
Tested wire integrity from controller base to solenoid earth live and neutral ok
Tested the voltage from outlet of Honeywell controller to solenoid feed ...70 volts!
Replaced new controller with old controller..70v
Voltage feed to controller from boiler 240 v
I DON'T think there is a step down transformer in the controller? Is there?
Bench tested the coils on 240v supply they click and operate ok
Where do I go now?
Many thanks to all anticipation of a boiler Jedi
...my good lady; like me doesn't like this boiler at the moment!
Kind Regards
