Err 134 Too many resets in a short time

Low severity Glow B85/B120/B160

What the control is telling you

RESET was pressed too many times within a short period, so the control blocks further attempts.

Applies to: B85, B120, B160 (NG and LP)

Likely causes

  • Repeated reset attempts without fixing the underlying fault

Test and repair steps

  1. Cycle power to the boiler off and on.
  2. Find and fix the lockout that keeps coming back instead of resetting again.
