    Halstead Finest Gold, CH-OK, DHW burner cuts in and out ??

    I have one of these boilers which started doing this after the system had been cleaned. The problem was sludge and residue clogging the plate heat exchanger. This is an easy fix. Turn off the power and shut off the CH flow and return, also the cold water feed on the manifold. This isolates...
