Hi folks, I'm new here and would like some help please, I'm not a boiler guy I'm a M+E eng. and have always serviced and repaired my own boilers and those of my family etc.
I'm not getting voltage to the oil pump solenoid on my Sterling burner. I've tried a spare, (new) Satronics TF 830 with the same result, 62V, which just looks like a bleed voltage through the neutral. I've looked at the schematic and suspect that the "flame relay" in the controller isn't supplying the solenoid. The wiring all looks OK, the controller base seems fine and the solenoid cable bells out ok. The flame detector resistance changes with light, (but of course it shouldn't come into play immediately anyway). Is there anyway this relay can be at fault? It's hard to tell if the push contacts are OK but everything looks fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks
