    far too many to list

    I would start with a servicing if it has been a year or more. That should eliminate most of the common causes

    One Reason:

    The number one reason I have found is that the control doesn't "see" a flame.

    filter and or strainer caused by running out of oil.

    start by calling back the service personnel. You shouldn't have to trouble shoot for them either. If they are not qualified, then, check on here for a contractor near you. Not all problems can be resolved one stop, but anything and everything should be tested and checked.
