Possible Causes

Tripped circuit breaker, Off or failed service switch, Blown internal fuse on control, Loose line voltage wiring at junction box

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not work on live electrical circuits. Turn off power at the breaker before opening any covers.

  • Check breaker and switch: Verify the boiler's dedicated breaker is ON and has not tripped. Confirm the boiler service switch near the unit is in the ON position.
  • Inspect power light: Some Burnham boilers have a power indicator LED. If it is off, there is likely no power reaching the control.
  • Examine junction box: With power off, remove the cover on the electrical junction box at the boiler. Check for loose wire nuts or burned connections. Tighten as needed.
  • Check internal fuse: Many controls have a small replaceable fuse. If blown, replace only with the same type and rating. If it blows again, stop and call a technician.
  • Restore power and test: Turn the breaker back on and see if the display or lights come on. If still dead, the transformer or control board may be failed.
