    Its cold outside lets talk Heaters, H81, H82, H83, etc.

    I tried unplugging the hour meter last night for the first time no effect....what is the rectifier again? Is there a way to use an electrical test meter to determine whats tripping up the circuit? can a regular boiler guy possibly figure this out? ill send you the k8 if you want to try it out.

    155MM i still cant get over how you purchased the same replacement relay and it worked for you and not me! I'm sure everything is wired correctly. - i even reinstalled the original k8 and no tripping the breaker on heat mode. I'm at a loss.

    No the original issue was the K8 reset button no longer works and fuel pressure wont come up once switched to heat. - this started happening right after my father told me he did a hot shut down with out running the fan. ....even though i stressed to him that is a big NO NO. I'm really...
