Hello All,
I have a customer how had a Burnham Independence steam boiler installed three years ago. Last year the spill switch tripped and shut the boiler off. Homeowner reset it and worked fine. Tripped again toward the end of the heating season. I went by to reset it and checked the chimney for blockage and draft, all seemed good at the time. Well it tripped again this year and was reset. The room seems to have ample air for combustion, but left a boiler room window open to see if that was the problem, it tripped again a few weeks later. I does not trip all the time just once in a while.
Anything to look for? Should I change the spill switch? It's located in the back of (close to boiler) the built in draft hood.
Thanks in advance.
