Table 6 - Tubular Propeller Troubleshooting Guide (continued)
SYMPTOMS | POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) | CORRECTIVE ACTION |
|
|
|
I. Burners will not shut off. | 1. Thermostat located incorrectly. | 1. Relocate thermostat away from outside |
|
| wall or drafts. |
| 2. Improper thermostat wiring. | 2. Check thermostat circuit for open and close |
|
| on terminal strip on heater “R” and “W”. |
| 3. Shorted circuit. | 3. Check thermostat circuit for shorts “staples |
|
| piercing wires”. |
| 4. Defective sticking gas valve. | 4. Check for 24v on gas valve terminals when |
|
| thermostat is not calling. |
| 5. Excessive gas supply pressure. | 5. Refer to “Installation”. |
|
|
|
J. Rapid burner cycling. | 1. Loose electrical connections at thermostat | 1. Tighten all electrical connections. |
| or gas valve. |
|
| 2. Excessive thermostat heat | 2. Adjust heat anticipator setting for longer |
| anticipator setting. | cycles. Refer to “Electrical Connections”. |
| 3. Unit cycling on high limit. | 3. Check for proper air supply across heat |
|
| exchanger and proper gas supply. |
| 4. Poor thermostat location. | 4. Relocate thermostat . |
|
|
|
K. Noisy power ventor. | 1. Power ventor wheel loose. | 1. Replace or tighten. |
| 2. Power ventor wheel is dirty. | 2. Clean power ventor wheel. |
| 3. Power ventor wheel is rubbing on the housing. | 3. Realign power ventor wheel. |
|
|
|
L. Fan will not run. | 1. Loose electrical connections. | 1. Check and tighten wires on fan circuit. |
| 2. Defective motor or overload. | 2. Test for 115v on terminal ACB Heat and |
|
| “L2” if voltage is present replace motor. |
| 3. Defective control board. | 3. Test for 115v on terminal ACB Heat and |
|
| “L2” on the control board, if voltage is not |
|
| present 45 seconds after trial for ignition |
|
| replace board. |
|
|
|
M. Fan motor turns on and off | 1. Motor overload protection is tripping. | 1. Check motor amps against motor name |
while burner is operating. |
| plate, check voltage, replace if found defective. |
| 2. Loose wiring or connection. | 2. Check for 115v between motor leads. |
| 3. Control board is defective. | 3. Check terminal ACB Heat for voltage if |
|
| voltage not constant, replace board. |
|
|
|
N. Fan will not stop. | 1. Control Board is in flame failure mode. | 1. Turn 115v power off to the unit, wait 10 |
|
| seconds and reapply voltage to the unit. |
| 2. Fan improperly wired. | 2. Check wiring of fan circuit to wiring diagram. |
| 3. Defective board. | 3. If unit is not calling for heat and board is not |
|
| in a flash code mode, replace board. |
|
|
|
O. Not enough heat. | 1. Incorrect gas input. | 1. Refer to “Operation”. |
| 2. Heater undersized. | 2. Is the heater output sized correctly for |
|
| heat loss of the space. Has the space |
|
| been enlarged. |
| 3. Thermostat malfunction. | 3. Check thermostat circuit, 24v on terminals |
|
| “R” and “W” on terminal strip. |
| 4. Heater cycling on limit. | 4. Check air movement across heat exchanger. |
|
| Check voltage and amps at the fan motor. |
|
| Check gas input to ensure unit is not over |
|
| fired. Check heat exchanger to ensure unit |
|
| is not dirty. |
| 5. Incorrect orifice sizes. | 5. Check orifice size, replace if undersized. |
|
|
|
P. Too much heat. | 1. Unit is over fired. | 1. Refer to “Operation”. Check orifice size. |
|
| If too big replace. |
| 2. Thermostat malfunction. | 2. Check thermostat for operation, to ensure |
|
| circuit open and closes. |
| 3. Heater runs continuously. | 3. Check wiring per diagram; check |
|
| operation at the gas valve, look for |
|
| a short in thermostat circuit. |
