   Symptom 

 

 

    Cause  

 

     Remedy 

1. Heater shuts off 

 

 Manual reset 

 

 

 Requiring manual restart by reset button on. 

2. Loss of prime overnight 

 Vacuum air leak in fuel line 

                  

 Check all fuel connections. Tighten fittings. 

    Won’t hold vacuum   

 Plugged pump screen 

 

 Check pump screen, may need cleaning-to access, remove pump cover 

    IS TANK EMPTY?   

 Plugged filter or tank oil empty    

 Clean filter. Using vent port, reprime pump (Figures 6 & 7). 

3. Fails to start. 

 

 Vacuum Leak 

 

 

 Open bleeder port if air present. Check and tighten fittings. 

 

 

 

 Inadequate Fuel Supply 

 

 Clean filter. Check all fuel connections. Tighten fittings. 

 

 

 

 No Pressure 

 

 

 

 Check, may need cleaning—to access, remove pump cover. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Using vent port, reprime pump (Figures 6 & 7). 

 

 

 

 No Pre-heat   

 

 

 

 Be sure all wiring to pre-heater is tight-no loose connections. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Bad firerod – replace; continuity at terminals.  

 

 

 

 Auto start circuit not functioning               

 

 Check circuit control board and replace if necessary (call factory). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Check continuity at terminals of firerod limit snap switch. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    Replace if needed.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 No Arc   

 

 

 

 Check springs to electrode rod adjustment (under transformer) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    make sure they make good contact. Open burner door and make 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  sure electrode tips aren’t touching flame cone or one another. Readjust. 

 

4. Hard starting diminished 

 Partially plugged filter. 

 

 Clean filter. Using vent bleeder port on pump, re-prime pump  

    (See Figure 6 & 7) flame.  

 

 

 

 Out of fuel 

 

 

 Refill Storage. 

 

 

 

 No oil to burner 

 

 

 Check pump screen – remove pump cover; clean if needed.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

                   

Using vent bleeder port, re-prime pump. (Figures 6 & 7) 

 

 

 

 Inadequate combustion air from burner 

 

 Remove nozzle and check for foreign objects. (Figures 9 & 10) 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 Aluminum Block Pre-heater inside burner may not build 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

   up carbon. If carbon is present, thermocouple heat sensor wire could  

have open circuit. Heat control board may have blown circuit and circuit  

board fuse.

 

Inspect both and replace either if needed (Figure 10). 

Back draft in combustion chamber may be present. Check draft up flue 

pipe & over fire at vision port. 

 

 

 

 Air band open too far  

 

 Close air band—while viewing flame; open air band slowly until 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   combustion chamber is clear, not orange. 

5. Heater cycles frequently, 

 Heater over firing, Inadequate   

 Investigate and locate reason for over firing. Check and clean end cone

    On high limit fan safety switch   

 

 

 

 

 

 High limit safety switch bad 

 

 

 Replace high limit fan safety switch.  

6. Heater rumbles and

   of ash. Check draft-reset if needed. 

 

 

 

    fans in building if added since initial install. 

    

 

 

     

 

7. Heater establishes flame  

 Photo eye cant see flame. 

 

 Clean photo eye which is clouded by back draft smoke.
