Hello,

I have a gas furnace It is a peerless 61-05-STDG-S. Every week or so, I have to go into the basement and make sure to add water too it because it shuts down if it runs out. Well it must have been colder than normal because it ran out faster than it usually does. So now the heater is completely off. First off, I thought it was the pilot, but turns out that is still lit. So I researched a little bit last night and some things I tried so far are I tried turning the thermostat off, the breaker off, and the switch above the furnace off and turned them back on. Even tried just breaker and thermostat or switch and thermostat. I did try to give each a few minutes as well before turning them back on. Nothing also when I have power to it, and try to turn it on from the thermostat, it sounds like it is firing, but nothing happens, usually you can hear the fans come on. The firing doesn't seem as regular though, usually it would go with every turn of the thermostat but it doenst seem to be doing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is a boiler unit, not really a gas furnace. You obviously have a steam or water leak somewhere in the system. Is this radiator or baseboard heat? May have a stuck low water safety if it won't restart after filling.

Oh I'm sorry I wasn't aware of the difference. It is radiator heat. Is there a way to reset that safety if there is one?

One thing I did notice though is that the vent safety shut off switch was tripped. I turned it back which was hard I had to use pliers. I did this with power off to the boiler. When I turned the power back on, it clicked back to off. From what I read this trips when it is too hot. There is no possible way its hot, it hasn't been on in 2 days and the only thing going is the pilot.

Vent safety shut off needed to be reset. The button on mine is black so was hard to see, since it was the size of a tac. Thanks
