Why does the water pressure on your boiler fall every night causing the central heating to fail and go off?

The immediate possibility - is a leak in the system somewhere. If the system is leak-proof, the pressure should remain constant - no matter what time of day it is. The only time there should be a pressure difference - is when the boiler is running. Your best solution - would be to get your system checked by a qualified service technician.


Why would a Teledyne Laars heater thermostat allow you to light pilot light but not allow you to turn it on?

Have you rotated the gas valve knob to "run". Have you turned up the thermostat? Is the pump running? No pump water flow - no heat -- no filtration. Is the filter clean? When was the last time you cleaned the filter? Ken


Why would the copper tubing freeze from the outside air conditioning unit?

Poor Airflow due to a dirty filter,dirty evaporator,dirty blower wheel, bad or weak run capacitor, or even a bad bearing in the fan motor causing it to overheat and shut off on overload while the compressor still runs, thus causing the unit to freeze up. On some systems it is possible that when the thermostat is satisfied and the indoor blower motor shuts off, the compressor could keep running if the contactor is sticking for 1 reason or another. Examples of this would be fireants or ladybugs in contactor or just an old contactor that has burnt points that stick some or all the time after running and getting hot. -Brad75-

What does it mean when temperature gage moves but not running hot?

Most likely the thermostat spring is weak, or the thermostat is sticking, causing the thermostat to open too early and stay open too long. This will cause water to circulate to the radiator, causing the temperature of the cooling water to fall below the target temperature, and so the temp guage falls. then eventually the thermostat closes some, and the temp starts to rise again (and so on)

When taking of a 1986 Honda accord thermostat what can you replace it with?

Replace it with the exact same temperature thermostat as the one you removed. Do not run the engine without a thermostat. The thermostat is required to keep the engine running at the optimum temperature that will give the best performance and mileage. If it is overheating running it without a thermostat is not the solution.


Where is the thermostat located on a 1999 Plymouth Breeze?

For a 2.4 litre engine, where the pressure cap is that is the thermostat housing..if you try to remove the pressure cap (in cold temperature only) you will see the thermostat..A damaged thermostat can be diagnosed when an engine running is at above normal temperature by squeezing the radiator hose connected to the thermostat housing..if there is no coolant running in it the thermostat is close then replace it.
