Troubleshooting the Oil Burner Primary Control
Table 5-4 lists possible remedies to a number of different operating problems associated with oil burner primary controls. Before checking the primary control, examine the following parts of the oil burner and ignition systems:
• Main power supply and burner motor fuse
• Ignition transformer
• Electrode gap and position
• Contacts between ignition transformer and electrode
Other system components that should be checked before examining the primary control are the oil piping to the tank, the oil filter, oil pump pressure, oil nozzle, and oil supply.
