    Why is my Aerco BMK 1500 showing a WARNING 02 LEVEL HIGH?
    • D
      David LawrenceAug 16, 2025
      A high O2 level warning in your Aerco Boiler can be caused by a Gas Pressure Regulator or Air Blower problem, bad Combustion Calibration, an O Offset that is too high, or a bad sensor. You may need to increase the O Offset value, or replace the sensor.

    What to do if Aerco BMK 1500 shows O2 SENSOR OOR MAINT REQUIRED (OutOfRange)?
    • W
      Whitney HurleyAug 19, 2025
      If your Aerco Boiler displays an O2 SENSOR OOR MAINT REQUIRED (OutOfRange) error, it could be due to the sensor auto calibration offset required being more than ±3%, a bad sensor, or a bad ECU. Try to reset the unit and recalibrate the sensor or replace the sensor; replacing the ECU is also an option, but it is rare.

    How to fix a low O2 percentage in my Aerco BMK 1500 Boiler?
    • M
      Monique SmallAug 26, 2025
      An O2 percentage that is too low in your Aerco Boiler can be caused by a dirty filter, poor combustion calibration, an O Offset that is too low, or a bad sensor. To resolve this, recalibrate the unit, increase the 2 Offset value or replace the sensor.
