So I cruse out to the OWB ( a central boiler 5036) this morning to throw the morning load of splits in before work and notice that it is running a little warm (190). I am well versed on what causes this, junk on the door seal or a piece of crud between the dampener and the door.
I check these “normal” things and don’t find anything. So I go to the next “normal” thing and find that the dampener solenoid lower screws are loose and the dampener solenoid has moved up a little bit hanging the dampener open a slight amount. I adjust the dampener and re-tighten the screws and all is well again.
My question is does anyone else run into this issue? If you do, have you done anything about it or do you just check the adjustment of the dampener when you lube the solenoid every month?
I was thinking of pulling the door this summer and installing studs to mount the dampener. Then I could use a good lock nut on it instead of the machine screws that seem to loosen over time.
Any thoughts?
