What to do if I have to fill the Heatmaster furnace with water too often?
If you're frequently adding water (more than once a week or a few gallons per week) to your Heatmaster furnace without a clear reason: * Check the temperature settings and the door and ash drawer gaskets to ensure the furnace isn't overheating and steaming. * Inspect the furnace perimeter for water puddles or drips. * Examine all plumbing in the system for leaks.
What to do if there is a power failure with my Heatmaster C-250 Furnace?
If there is a power failure affecting your Heatmaster furnace: * Open all flow-check and zone valves in the system. * When power returns, reset all flow check and zone valves and resume normal system operation.
What to do if Heatmaster C-250 has an excessive amount of creosote?
If your Heatmaster furnace has excessive creosote in the firebox or bypass: * Check to ensure the furnace is sized accurately according to heat demand. * If the chimney and/or bypass become plugged with creosote, scrape it out to ensure a proper burn in the firebox.
What to do if there is a chimney fire in my Heatmaster C-250?
If there is a chimney fire in your Heatmaster furnace: * Make sure the firebox and ash pan doors are tightly closed. * Close all combustion air inlets on the furnace.
What to do if there is smoke leaking out of the Heatmaster C-250 door?
If smoke is leaking from your Heatmaster furnace door: * Ensure the door is sealing properly. * Replace the seal if it's worn out. * Adjust the door by loosening the Door Latch Bearings and Door Hinge bearings, then set the door so it seals tightly against the door jamb.
What to do if Heatmaster furnace has shut down?
If your Heatmaster furnace has shut down, check these items: * Confirm that the unit has power (does the light work?). * Ensure the Furnace On/Off switch is in the On position. * Check the water temperature. The furnace has a high-temperature cut-out at 190 degrees F and restarts at 140 degrees F.
What to do if Heatmaster C-250 overheats?
If your Heatmaster furnace is overheating: * Check that all doors are closing properly and that the door gasket is completely sealing. * Check that the damper plate is opening and closing without hang-ups. * Check venting and fan box on rear of furnace for air leaks. * Verify that the temperature settings are correct. The furnace should be set on Heating Mode (H1) and the high temperature setting should be set no higher than 185° F. * Examine the chimney draft. A chimney extended too far or exposed to strong winds may cause a downdraft. * Check the water level. * Ensure the door and ash drawer are airtight. * Confirm all pumps in the system are running.
What to do if Heatmaster C-250 water is hot but buildings do not have heat?
If the water in your Heatmaster furnace is hot, but your buildings aren't receiving heat: * Ensure all pumps in the system are running. * Check the filler cartridge for flow blockage (if one is installed). * Bleed off any air in the system at the exchanger. * Confirm that all valves are open to allow water flow. * Check the water temperature as it exits the furnace, enters the building, and before and after each heat exchanger.
