Burner shuts down prematurely

Ed_24

I was hoping for some suggestions to troubleshoot my "old" <strong>Arcoflame American</strong> <strong>Standard</strong> oil burner.



The burner is <strong>not </strong>firing up without hitting the reset button. After I hit the reset button it only runs for approximately 5 mins and shuts down again. Each time I hit the reset the same thing happens. 



I would appreciate any help.



Thank you!

What primary safety are we talking about is the safety located on your flue pipe ?

Is the burner shutting off on safty or is it just shutting down after 5 min?

Stop!!!!!!

Stop reseting the button.  Unless you hear or see a flame.  You are just spraying oil in the chamber!  Which makes a mess and a big boom when it does light.  Call a pro and expect to be told to replace it.  Not many arcoflames out there nowadays.

I agree

it's time to replace that burner. A new one can be expected to save at least 15% of your fuel, if selected and installed properly. Some of our customers have done better than that.



What model boiler is this thing installed on?
