Honeywell boiler

As far as I know, Honeywell does not make boilers. Is it gas or oil fired? What relay did you replace? Pictures of the boiler, controls, & near boiler piping would be a help. You can post them on photobucket.com or similar site & provide a link here.

Relay

I presume the relay you replaced is the one with all of the wires disconnected. Are you sure you have the new one wired correctly? The dials should be set as follows:High 180º Low 160º, Diff (if you have this dial) 15-20º.
What does the burner do that it should not or doesn't do that it should? Do you have a volt meter & know how to use it?

Metal piece

If you are refering to the T shaped piece in the box on top of the burner, and next to the red reset button, that is the burner relay. It is not field replaceable. You would have to replace the whole metal box. It is a Honeywell R8184G. You could also use a Honeywell
R7184A. That control is called the primary control.

Primary control

Be sure to install a jumper between terminals T & T on the new control. If the ends of the yellow wires are frayed & there is enough wire, trim off the ends & re-strip.

CAUSE of the problem ?

It appears that the CAUSE of the problem is flue gas condensate dripping out of the joints in the flue pipe and onto the control.

Maybe you should find a way to cure that cause ?

Fernando... relax amigo ...

What did you do that is 'still not working' ?

You replaced the aquastat relay, and got it all wired back up, and then it still didn't work.

So, now you replaced the primary control, and it still is not working ?

Did you install a jumper on the T-T terminals as Grady said ?

Are the yellow wires connected ?

Are you sure that the black, white, and orange wires are connected properly ?

Why don't you take some pictures that clearly show the new aquastat and the wiring, and some pictures of the new primary control and the wiring ? That may help us to see if something is not wired correctly.
