Possible Causes

Incorrect burner air setting, Loose burner mounting on Weishaupt boiler door, Resonance in flue system, Worn burner fan or bearings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the boiler before tightening any mechanical fixings.

  • Check burner mounting: Ensure all burner fixing bolts to the boiler door are tight and that the gasket is intact.
  • Inspect flue supports: Verify that the flue is properly supported and not vibrating against structures.
  • Listen to fan: If the noise is from the fan, bearings may be worn and the fan assembly should be replaced.
  • Combustion adjustment: Whistling or roaring can indicate incorrect gas/air ratio; a technician should perform a combustion check and adjust the Weishaupt burner.

When to call a professional: Combustion noise issues generally require a burner specialist.
