Thermal coupler changed, pilot now stays on but gas to heat won't stay lit.Kicks off after a minute?
Q. I have a weiland boiler. It needed a new thermal coupler. The thermal coupler now keeps the pilot lit. But now after the boiler lites to heat the house, it kicks off after a minute and even turning up the thermostat won't turn it back on even with the pilot lite staying lit.

A. You need to make sure there is a call for heat and that you are not loosing that call. Call for heat could be a room stat or tank stat and that the timer is in an on Period. The other thing could be a over heat problem. Ie if you call for heat but there is no route for the heated water to flow, Valve not open. The boiler will keep heating the same water thats in the boiler and trip you overheated sensor. The overheat sensor could alos be faulty of course.

Does the Shamesh stays lit from the very first day of Hanukkah?
Q. Does that mean that you would never see a menorah with only ONE candle lit but you start with two and on, or do you blow out the shamesh once you lit the candle(s) for that night. Also do candles are lit at least half hour after night fall or half hour past midnight?
Asked by Tincan - Mon Dec 3 19:18:49 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The Shamash lights the amount of candles that night, then gets put into its holder. It will be burnt down with the rest of the candles, it looks nice to have it burn down with the rest of them instead of blowing them out. They have to stay lit for at least a half hour, during the time that people are out driving or walking the street so you can see them. If they are lit at midnight, is it pointless because then no one will see them.

A. You got to read the codes - this will tell you the problem. Could be lots of things. The code reader can reset the lights if it is a bogus code, or just a service reminder. If you go to one of the big auto parts store chains (advance or auto zone) they will have a code reader and get them codes for you free, and reset your light. Once the codes are deciphered, you will know what to fix. Cheers!

Q. My air handling unit in the attic has a gas coil with a burning pilot light to activate the furnace. Once I let go of the switch the pilot light goes out. Is there some safety switch or a malfunctioning pilot light unit that could be the problem?
Asked by redacatfish - Fri Nov 24 03:23:29 2006 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. When you are holding down the button for the 20 to 30 seconds, you will notice the flame is burning this "rod" looking post which is attached to a small diameter copper tubing. This device is called the Thermocouple. This device is what keeps the pilot burning. If pilot will not stay lit, replace the thermocouple. In rare occasions, a draft from somewhere could be blowing out the flame. Other problems could be a plugged pilot orifice or the pilot flame needs adjusting. Both, i recommend having a technician to look at. Good Luck!

A. You may be loosing some gas pressure in the winter due to the furnace coming on. If so, the pilot flame may need to be adjusted up a little higher so it fully engulfs the thermocouple even when the furnace is on. If that is not possible or does not help, you may need a new thermocouple. Bert

A. Its impossible to give you an exact answer as there are a few faults that would cause the pilot to go out.The thermocouple might have a dirty tip or be burnt out,the mag unit in the gas valve might be also on the road out,the pilot flame might be partially choked or the thermocouple could be linked to an over heat stat which would extinguish the flame if the main thermostat failed. Phone a Gas safe registered heating engineer.
