hi
we have a Honeywell v4600c boiler.
from yesterday we found its stoped to working when we try to on manually then just pilot light lits but once i leave gas valve its gone down. its not stay.
please can anybody help me please.
thanks.
Are you holding the pilot button down till the flame heats the sensor, this may take a full minute or more. If that doesn't work send a message that I can read with all the key words included.
thanks for your reply.
yes i hold it for more then minutes some time two minutes but as soon as i released the pilot button flame gone down. i tried few other things aswell. just holding button and swith high thermostate and switch on water and heater and continusely holding but as i realeased the button same thing happed. what i did today open it and clear the pilot pin and clean the other bit which next to that.
hi and if you can explain me, what is thermocouple? because i was reading some other thread which has got same problem and the mentioned about it so what do you think about
is the other bit a small piece of metal w/a small copper tube going to the pilot /gas control? If so you may be able to replace it if it has a nut holding it to the control valve.Shut the elec. and gas before you do anything! This is the thermocouple and must be replaced W/the same one it keeps the gas valve from opening with no pilot
try home depot or a local plumming supply place but this Im not sure of try the computer or phone I gotta run but could make a call when I get back within the hour
good luck
thanks mate
if you could make a call then it will be much appriciated. i opened again and i checked thermocouple, will i have to detatch the whole parts which looks like a copper pipe or just a that bit? if its just the bit then how? thanks again.
it should be a very small copper tube looks like a coiled up wire where it goes into the control it should go thru the center of a nut about 1/4 to 3/8 inch the bit (bulb) side should only be held next to the pilot W/ a screw just note the position of the bulb upon removal cause you want it to go back in the same spot.dont rip out the metal hanger at the pilot
mate slang for friend I can take that as payment
hope Im right here AUSIE AUSIE AUSIE HOY HOY HOY
