Going to be -14 below tomorrow night and -13 the next, a couple days of arctic freeze. Should be in the 50s by the end of the week however.
But until then, I'm in trouble.
The GV90+ Weil McClain boiler that came with the house I acquired a couple months ago- less than 5 years old and looking relatively new- suddenly stopped working.
The boiler fires up every 15 minutes or so, and there is a bit of a voomk sound a couple times and water circulating. But the radiators in the house remain all ice cold.
What could possibly have happened?
My thought is perhaps the pump is not starting, and that is the noise? However there is also a bypass pump right there, side by side. Is there a way perhaps, to engage the bypass as a failsafe?
I can't help but think the problem is something simple, but the solution escapes me completely. The panel says 140.... and the POWER light is blinking green, with a couple other lights blinking red- TSTAT, PRESS SWITCH and FLAME, all blinking red. The LIMIT light is solid red.
The manual reads like a surgeons manual, I can't figure out for anything what the problem could be.
If anything, I'd like to know how to drain the boiler and turn it off for the deep freeze, so the radiators don't break. I have some electric heaters in the house but I fear that won't be enough when temps get that low soon.
Thanks for any help or experience.
