I would check to make sure control on gas valve is in on position and pilot is lit if you have a standing pilot. If you have a spark or hot surface ignitor make sure they are trying to lit pilot. If you have standing pilot model and pilot lit is not on. Turn control on gas valve to off,wait five mins. then turn to pilot. Depress botton and try to light pilot. If it lights hold down for a couple of mins. then release.. If pilot stays lit turn control to on. If thermostat is calling for heat this should bring main burner on. If pilot does not stay lit then replace thermocouple. Hope this helps. Thanks

Exact replacement for old American Standard G25 boiler?

It sounds like it has been mis-wired. The circulator pump should run all the time the boiler is on and should continue to run when heat is called for so it circulates the water in the radiators as it cools. There is normally an electronic valve that shuts flow to the radiators when only hot water is needed. Call for heat and that valve opens. It sounds like you need a mature, old school boiler / central heating technician who has lots of real world experience with older boilers.

If you have a large screwdriver, you can use it against the pump as a stethoscope to listen for the pump running. The noise is very distinctive.

My boiler keeps getting shut down and the message says "supply too fast". I have to reset the boiler every time that happens. What is wrong?

Either the pump in not running to circulate the heat, or the boiler is going straight into high fire and not modulating correctly.

Sime ecomfort plus 30 HE keeps cutting out and shows a flashing green light. Sometimes it will run ok for a couple of hours before cutting out.

I had the identical problem with the same model. Technician eventually diagnosed faulty fan; the fan cools the heat exchanger. When fan fails, exchanger overheats and boiler automatically shuts down. It is possible to restart the boiler when it cools down but when the heat rises again - off it goes! Only answer is to replace the fan. My technician did the same as yours - on first visit he got the boiler running and left. Half hour later, boiler shut down. I read the installation manual and operating instructions and when he called again I pointed him in direction of fan, which had failed completely. These guys!
