How an intermittent flame failure averted a catastrophe

The customer called with an intermittent flame failure. Thank goodness he did as the system had a potential safety issue which could have been catastrophic

Wow, great find!!!

God sent you there to save lives that day. These maintenance people out there have got to wake up. Went to a new contract customer not to long ago and they jumped out terminals 5 and 6 on M&M 150 head causing continuous burner operation during a low water condition. The excuse they gave me was the new micro switches on the newer 150s don’t hold up like the mercury ones. 😂 Luckily they keep the column clean. Great work Ray.

Yikes. In my not so humble opinion, though, Ray, it should be ANY electrical component which has been soaked should not be used -- except for the rare widget which is intended to be soaked.

You are correct sir Thanks
