thermo-pride furnace cuts off
Help. I started up my good old furnace after a) checking for water b)
blowing out the fuel lines c) cleaning the strainer d) breaking down and cleaning the pump e) cleaning out the blower blades f) lubricating the motor and g) replacing the burner nozzle with the right size, with the electrodes adjusted for the right angle. What I get is a silky smooth start that runs the timer limit and shuts off. Big pretty flame, steady oil stream. What tells it to stop? The blower never comes on but when I run it manually it makes no difference. Same cut off, same time. |

If the burner operates too long without the blower coming on, it could be shutting down due to the high temperature triggering the limit switch. It could be a dirty or malfunctioning cad cell. Turn on the blower manually & see if it still shuts down. Check the heat anticipator on the thermostat & set it between .2 & .4 amps. There is no way to troubleshoot from here! http://www.udarrell.com/oil_furnace_heating.html - udarrell -- PROPER A/C UNIT & DUCTWORK Sizing is over 70% of Operating Efficiency http://www.udarrell.com/proper_cfm_b...syste ms.html Air Conditioning Installations Now Produce 95% Failure Rate http://www.eeba.org/conference/2004/...s/Proctor1.pdf Solving - External Static Pressure (ESP) http://www.udarrell.com/udarrell-air-conditioning.html |
