Troubleshooting Checklist for Oil Burners
Is it cold in your house?
If your oil burner fails to operate, there are a few simple things you can check yourself before making a service call. If the burner still fails to operate after checking each of these steps, please call your local office for service.
- Is your thermostat set above room temperature?
- Is the emergency switch in the 'On' position? (switch with red cover plate usually located at the top of your basement stairs or at the entrance to your furnace room).
- Do you have oil in the tank?
- Is there a tripped breaker or a blown or loose fuse?
- Press the Reset button on relay ONCE ONLY. The Reset button is usually a small button located on top of your oil burner or on the stack switch.
CAUTION: If you are not familiar with the operation of this device please contact our service department without delay.
