I need serious help with my boiler. I have a 80 LP and it has given me nothing but problems. At night it goes out we have to go down stairs to restart it all day long. When we wait to see if it lights it makes a loud exploding sound when it tries to light. It just isn't lighting and this is very scary. I am afraid it is going to blow up or something. I have had this boiler for 3 years and the contractor has just stopped trying to fix it. We had the house built 3 years ago and everything was put in professionally. Please someone help.

The exploding noise comes from the air gas mixture not being set right you need to adjust gas with a co2 meter to the specs in the manual. If you do not have meter you can turn gas down a small amount at a time about a 1/4 turn and let it set for a few hours then maybe another 1/4 turn.

First of all make sure condensate line is clear if not it causes all types of problems. This you should do first you can get a compressor and blow back into boiler from drain or if you can get at drain take it apart and get a wire and clean it out. Just make sure it is running. You will always have condensate if your boiler return is cool. After 3 years I would guess the drain is plugged. Maybe

The combustion blower went south on my Munchkin too. The culpret was water coming into the intake pipe during a wind driven rain storm. Unfortunately, on the T80M, they route the air intake directly over the motor. When water hits the motor, sparks fly. The fix is to install a "roof" or shield over the motor, or add elbows to the intake tee outside, as I did to prevent water from entering the intake piping.<br />

I hope I do not have any other type repairs. Warranty is only one year on this part and it is truly a Mfging error not usage. I am currently trying to get some satisfaction for replacement but have had no success yet.
