How to fix CH Temp drops lower than expected before unit re-fires on Laars FT?
To address a CH Temp drop lower than expected before the Laars Boiler re-fires, change Parameter 14:bo to 10 degrees F (5.5 degrees C).
How to reset TEMPERATURE SENSOR error on Laars FT Boiler?
If your Laars Boiler displays a TEMPERATURE SENSOR error, it means a temperature sensor has either electrically shorted (SHORT) or become disconnected (OPEN). You can attempt to reset this using the manual reset screen on the Control Display, accessible via the Power button.
Why is the water from my Laars Boiler not hot enough?
If the water from your Laars Boiler isn't hot enough, first check that the temperature setting on the unit isn't too low. Then, make sure the filter in the cold water supply line isn't clogged with debris. Also, ensure that the gas supply type is correct and that the supply and manifold gas pressures are in accordance with specifications. Lastly, verify that the water flow sensor with three wires is properly connected on top of the heat exchanger.
How to fix hot water temperature fluctuation in Laars Boiler?
To fix hot water temperature fluctuation in your Laars Boiler, start by ensuring that the filter in the cold water supply line is clean. Next, verify that the gas supply type is correct and that the supply gas pressure is sufficient. Insufficient gas pressure can lead to temperature fluctuations.
What to do if Laars Boiler water is too hot?
If the water from your Laars Boiler is too hot, first, make sure that the temperature setting on the unit is not set too high. Additionally, check that the filter in the cold water supply line is not clogged with debris. Finally, ensure that the gas supply type being used is correct for your unit.
What to do for IGNITION FAULT on Laars Boiler?
If the Laars Boiler shows an IGNITION FAULT, even after 8 ignition attempts, and it still can't detect a flame, power the system off and then back on again.
How to reset FLAME FAULT on Laars FT?
If the Laars Boiler displays a FLAME FAULT error, it indicates that flame was detected when it shouldn't have been. You can reset this error using the manual reset screen on the Control Display by pressing the Power button.
How to reset BLOWER FAULT on Laars FT?
If the Laars Boiler displays a BLOWER FAULT, it means the blower couldn't reach the required speed or didn't reach 0 RPM when turned off. To resolve this, reset the system using the manual reset screen on the Control Display, accessible via the Power button.
Why is Laars Boiler water not hot enough?
If your Laars Boiler isn't providing hot enough water, start by checking the temperature setting on the unit to ensure it's not set too low. Next, inspect the filter in the cold water supply line for any clogs or debris. Confirm that the gas supply type is correct for your unit. Also, verify that the supply and manifold gas pressures align with the specified requirements. Lastly, ensure the water flow sensor, which has three wires, is properly connected on top of the heat exchanger.
What to do if Laars FT doesn’t fire when DHW flow is initiated?
If your Laars Boiler doesn’t fire when domestic hot water (DHW) flow is initiated, it's potentially because the domestic water flow is too low. The minimum allowable flow is 0.75 gpm. Check in Manual Mode OTO AGA.
