Hello,
I have a gas boilerIt is a peerless 61-05-STDG-S. Every week or so, I have
to go
into the basement and make sure to add water too it because it shuts down
if
it
runs out. Well it must have been colder than normal because it ran out
faster
than it usually does. So now the heater is completely off. First off, I
thought
it was the pilot, but turns out that is still lit. So I researched a little
bit
last night and some things I tried so far are I tried turning the
thermostat
off, the breaker off, and the switch above the furnace off and turned them
back
on. Even tried just breaker and thermostat or switch and thermostat. I did
try
to give each a few minutes as well before turning them back on. Nothing
also
when I have power to it, and try to turn it on from the thermostat, it
sounds
like it is firing, but nothing happens, usually you can hear the fans come
on.
The firing doesn't seem as regular though, usually it would go with every
turn
of the thermostat but it doenst seem to be doing it. Any help would be
greatly
appreciated! I also tried draining out all the water from the LWCO and
putting
in some more. From some further looking I found the vent safety shut off
switch. I was looking for a light type switch and thats how I missed it.
It
was just a small little metal thing and I saw it was turned that the vent
was
off. I turned it back to on using pliers because it was difficult. I did
this
with the breaker and switch for the boiler shut off. I turned them back on
and
it tripped right away. Tried again and the same thing. From what I read
this
happens form excess heat. Which at this point isn't possible since its
been
off
for 2 days and only the pilot remains. I don't know what to do at this
point.



Problem solved the vent safety shut off just needed to be reset. I hit
reset button and it worked. Mine was black instead of red so it was
really hard to even see it was a button.
