    My boiler stops working intermittently - OK after reset?
    I have a Weil McLain boiler and for the last two days after the thermostat turned on the boiler did not until I reset the power in the boiler. Why is this happening ?

    Two months ago I replaced the thermo cutoff fuse (thermo rollout) because it went bad. I replaced the same part last heating season. I think the rollout switch maybe going bad again. What can be causing this?

    Contact Weil McLain company. You have a rollout problem. They might not be able to help you directly but they can guide you to a qualified repair person.The problem needs to be solved and that does not include replacing the same parts every six months.

    More than likely a flue/chimney/draft problem. It could also be a gas pressure adjustment (over fire situation) Nothing to play with.
