My 50 year old boiler is making a loud buzzing sound from an electric box on the front of the boiler. Read on.? - boiler parts labeled

After opening the box about 5 "x 5"), some cables (and what looks like a small electric motor.

connected to the engine is what looks like a small square of metal, making the noise vibrates.

He is very strong.

No marking, writing or markings to tell me what this part of the boiler.

The control box has a transformer on the board. Sometimes, according to age, a new control system will take care of him.

Your description is like a switch. Probably the relay pump vibrates. They have a metal plate with contacts on a coil. The metal plate is the opening of a source. When the coil vibrates weakens against the spring force.

It may be the primary or sole control of the pump controller. You can have both 24V and 120V thermostat wiring both for itself.

There are many different types, some with separate transformers, others do not. For some it is their main transformer. The elderly often have connections such as T1, T2, L1, L2, and possibly a "B".

Normally, the label was inside the metal lid.

I can not tell you exactly what to replace, as there are various types and batchesForms wiring checked.

You can take it and go to the game. But otherwise, need someone with good skills in dealing with him.

It is possible to replace or to wire a separate switch, but it also has a superior knowledge of schematics or logic.

For example, in the mine, which has duplicate contacts are used to break the tension of the pump and 24-volt burner.

And with the repairs over the years, as it is connected, can be changed with the replacement of various controls. But if you are identical with another, you only pay for the same.

Good luck.

depending on the location of the box "is either the aqua-stat (thermostat for the boiler water) or, if this field on an engine mounted fan reset button (if it is dynamic and does not want to click disconnect, then you can use a problem with the boiler must be maintained). a not very expensive to save this for themselves, but the repair of an old boiler that does not make sense. A new boiler much money by so many different ways. technition receive a reliable service if you do not look at the system and the heat loss in your home. Can find that the establishment and use of your existing boiler remains more expensive than actually replace a probability (smaller) a new efficiant.

If you are not qualified to check the electricity and gas. NO.
a / Current - you can see.
b / gas, you can not see.

Both can kill with a wink. Snap fast!. The two take no prisoners.
So check to a qualified roof.
