Solución de problemas
This section outlines common issues and potential solutions. For complex problems, contact a qualified service technician.
| Problema | Posible causa | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| Burner fails to ignite (lockout) | No fuel supply, faulty ignition, dirty flame sensor, incorrect wiring. | Check fuel supply. Verify ignition transformer and electrodes. Clean or replace IRD flame sensor. Inspect wiring connections. |
| Burner ignites then immediately shuts down | Flame not detected by IRD sensor, unstable flame. | Clean or reposition IRD flame sensor. Check burner settings for stable flame. |
| La caja de control no se enciende | No power supply, internal fault. | Check main power supply and circuit breaker. Consult a technician if power is present but unit remains off. |
