Possible Causes
Low incoming voltage, loose power connections, shared neutral issues, failing transformer
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker. Electrical work should follow local codes.
Steps:
- Check supply voltage: With a multimeter, verify that the boiler is receiving the correct line voltage (typically 120 VAC) at the service switch.
- Inspect connections: Tighten all line voltage and neutral connections in the boiler junction box and on the control board.
- Check transformer: Measure the low-voltage output of the boiler's control transformer. Replace if output is low or unstable.
- Dedicated circuit: Ensure the boiler is on a dedicated circuit and not sharing neutrals with other loads that could cause noise.
