Problem 

Possible Cause 

Remedy 

Photo Cell wiring shorted or 
room light leaking into photo 
cell compartment 

Check photo cell (cad cell) wiring for short circuits. Also, check 
for room light leaking into cad cell compartment. Repair light 
leak if necessary. See Table C-3. 

Furnace will not start. 

Open safety switch. 

Check for open limit or auxiliary limit. Also, check internal wiring 
connections; loose connectors, etc. 

No fuel oil. 

Check fuel oil supply. Check that all hand operated fuel oil 
valves are in the open position. Fill oil storage tank if necessary. 

Clogged nozzle. 

Replace nozzle with high quality replacement. Use rating plate 
or Tables in Appendix A as a guide. 

Clogged oil filter. 

Replace oil tank filter or in-line filter if used. 

Low oil pump pressure. 

Connect pressure gauge to oil pump. Adjust pump pressure, or 
replace oil pump if necessary. Ensure that erratic pressure 
readings are not caused by defective fuel oil line. 

Air getting into fuel oil lines, or 
fuel oil line dirty, clogged, or in 
some manner defective. 

Check fuel oil lines. Replace any compression fittings found with 
high quality flared fittings. Check for any signs of oil leaks. Any 
oil leak is a potential source of air or contaminants. 

Furnace will not start 
without first pushing oil 
primary control reset 
button. 
(Happens on frequent 
basis) 

Defective burner motor. 

Check burner motor. If burner motor is cutting out on over-load, 
determine why. Replace if necessary. 

Furnace starts, but cuts 
out requiring manually 
resetting the oil protector 
reset button. 

Photo Cell (Cad Cell) 
defective. 

If cad cell is dirty, clean it. (Determine why cad cell is getting 
dirty). If cad cell is poorly aimed, realign it. NOTE: The photocell 
should have a resistance of 100 K

 in absence of light; a 

maximum of 1500 

 in the presence of light. Ensure that room 

light is not leaking into the cad cell compartment. (See 
diagnostic light section). 

No fuel oil. 

Check fuel oil supply. Check that all hand operated fuel oil 
valves are in the open position. Fill oil storage tank if necessary. 

Clogged nozzle. 

Replace nozzle with high quality replacement. Use rating plate 
or Tables in Appendix A as a guide. 

Clogged oil filter. 

Replace oil tank filter or in-line filter if used. 

Low oil pump pressure. 

Connect pressure gauge to oil pump. Adjust pump pressure, or 
replace oil pump if necessary. Ensure that erratic pressure 
readings are not caused by defective fuel oil line. 

Air getting into fuel oil lines, or 
fuel oil line dirty, clogged, or in 
some manner defective. 

Check fuel oil lines. Replace any compression fittings found with 
high quality flared fittings. Check for any signs of oil leaks. Any 
oil leak is a potential source of air or contaminants. 

Defective burner motor. 

Check burner motor. If burner motor is cutting out on over-load, 
determine why. Replace if necessary. 

Water or contaminants in oil. 

Drain fuel oil storage tank; replace fuel oil. (Consult with fuel oil 
supplier). 

Furnace starts, but cuts 
out requiring manually 
resetting the oil protector 
reset button. 

Frozen oil line. 

Gently warm oil line.  Insulate oil line. (Outdoor piping size may 
require increased diameter). 

Electrodes out of adjustment or 
defective. 

Check electrode settings. Check electrodes for dirt build-up or 
cracks in porcelain. 

Poor transformer high voltage 
connections or defective 
transformer. 

Check contacts between the igniter and electrodes. If OK, 
replace the igniter 

Fuel oil filter clogged. 

Replace fuel oil storage tank filter and / or fuel oil in-line filter. 

Defective oil pump. 

Check burner motor and / or fuel oil pump coupling. Check oil 
pump pressure. Replace fuel oil pump if necessary. 

Oil burner sputtering at 
nozzle 

Fuel oil line partially clogged or 
contains air. 

Bleed air from oil line. If problem persists, replace oil line.
