Oil Burner
Problems:
Please read
this warning. If you are not sure about your ability to work on an
oil burner, please stop, and call a professional. there is a real
danger of fire explosion soot damage severe burns and death.
If you have an older oil burner, it will be
possible to push the red reset button on the cad cell relay, or the
control, over and over again, Your oil company has probably put a
note saying "push
only once".
Newer oil burners will lock you out if you push the button more then
3 times, preventing you from creating a dangerous situation. It you
are looking for instructions on how to get your newer burner out of
lock out mode. The oil burner shuts off for a reason, and pushing
the button over and over again does not correct the problem, in fact
it can cause much bigger ones. For example, if your transformer is
failing intermittently, and you push the reset button, oil is pumped
in to your combustion chamber, and is not ignited, if you push the
button over and over again you can fill the combustion with allot of
oil, then the transformer decides to work, now you have an
explosion. |

The same thing
can happen with a partially clogged nozzle or poor oil flow
because of clogged filters or strainers. The bottom line is
DO
NOT PUSH THE RED BUTTON MORE THEN ONCE!!.
If it does not start you have a problem that needs to be
fixed before your oil burner will run correctly. |
I
ran out of oil, I just had oil delivered, but my boiler will
not run.!
I have pushed the reset button and nothing happens.! A lot
of things happen when an oil burner runs out of oil, 1 you
suck all the sludge from the bottom of your oil tank in to
your oil lines filters strainer and nozzle, 2 you lose your
prime (in most situations) 3 your filter can become clogged
4 your oil lines can become clogged 5 your strainer can
become clogged and your nozzle can become clogged, So just
because you got a full tank of oil, this does not mean you
are all set, you should replace your filter, your nozzle and
your strainer, and you may need to have your oil lines blown
out. If you let your system run out of oil, Call your
plumber.
