Problem

 

Possible Cause

 

Remedy

 

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 / 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. 

System temperature rise too high. 

System temperature rise ideally should not exceed 85°F. Check for 
clogged air filters. Check blower fan for excess dirt build-up or debris. 
Speed up blower fan if necessary. 

Poor “fan off” delay timing 
selection, (fan stops too soon). 

Check “fan off” delay timing setting. Use a duct thermometer in the 
supply air plenum take-off or first few inches of the supply air trunk duct. 
Ideally, the fan will shut off at a temperature of 90° - 100°F. Manipulate 
the dip switch settings to come as close as possible to this “fan off” 
temperature. 

Fuel oil leak. 

Check fuel oil line for leaks. Repair or replace if necessary. 

Stack temperature too high. 

Check stack temperature. Stack temperatures will normally range from 
350° to 450°F. Check draft regulator. Draft should be set to 0.02 in. w.c. 

Excessive fuel oil 
consumption. 

Thermostat improperly adjusted or 
in poor location. 

Check thermostat heat anticipator setting against measured amperage 
draw.  Increase heat anticipator setting if necessary. If the thermostat is 
being influenced by drafts, sunlight, duct work, etc., relocate to more 
suitable location. 

Insufficient combustion air 
adjustment at oil burner, or 
improper draft pressure. 

Adjust the oil burner combustion air band and draft regulator to gain the 
highest practical CO

2

 or lowest practical O

2

 content in the flue gases. 

See Burner Set Up. 

Too much smoke. 

Heat exchanger partially clogged. 

Check for soot build-up in heat exchanger flue passages, especially in 
the outer radiator. 

Poor alignment between oil burner 
blast tube and fire pot. 

Check alignment. Blast tube should be centered with fire pot burner 
opening. Oil burner head should be ¼ inch back from the inside surface 
of the fire pot. 

Flame impingement caused by 
Incorrect nozzle angle. 

Check nozzle size and angle. (See Appendix A). Check distance from 
head to inside surface of the fire pot. 

Soot building up on blast 
tube (end coning). 

Defective fire-pot 

Check fire-pot. Repair or replace. 

Airflow blocked or dirty air filter. 

Clean or replace air filter. 

Thermostat adjustments or 
location. 

Check thermostat heat anticipator setting against measured amperage 
draw.  Increase heat anticipator setting if necessary. If the thermostat is 
being influenced by drafts, sunlight, duct work, etc., relocate to more 
suitable location. 

Insufficient airflow. 

Check all dampers. Open closed dampers including registers in unused 
rooms. Check system temperature rise. If temperature rise is too high, 
speed up blower fan. 

Defective high limit control. 

Test high limit function of all limit switches. Use a duct thermometer to 
assess accuracy of limit control. Check for obstructions to airflow around 
limit switch bi-metal elements. Replace control if necessary. 

Under-sized nozzle. 

Check nozzle. If problem is not caused by air flow problems, use larger 
nozzle, if permitted by rating plate. 

Blower fan motor stopping 
intermittently on overload. 

Check blower fan motor amperage draw. Check motor ventilation ports, 
clean if necessary. Replace motor if necessary. 

Furnace will not warm home 
to desired temperature. 

Burner motor stopping 
intermittently on overload. 

Check burner motor. Replace if necessary. 

Home does not heat evenly 

Improper distribution of heat. 

This is not likely to be a furnace problem. Balance duct system.
