Possible Causes

Incorrect gas pressure, Blocked burner or vent, Improper air-fuel ratio, Dirty heat exchanger

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Critical safety: Abnormal combustion can produce dangerous carbon monoxide. If you suspect venting or combustion issues, stop using the boiler and ventilate the area.

  • 1. Check vent terminations: Inspect intake and exhaust for obstructions, damage, or recirculation (exhaust blowing into intake).
  • 2. Verify gas supply: Ensure gas shutoff valves are fully open. Do not adjust regulators yourself.
  • 3. Clean air filter (if equipped): Some Noritz boilers have an intake air filter. Remove and clean it according to the manual.
  • 4. Schedule combustion analysis: A licensed technician must perform a combustion analysis, adjust gas valve settings, and clean the burner and heat exchanger as needed.
