    Riello oil burner won't fire

    Hi, I replaced the nozzle and oil filter for my Riello oil burner about six months ago, recently the burner suddenly stopped firing . I had to to turn off the circuit breaker off and then turned it back on again in order for it to restart. I have to reset the circuit breaker about once a week for about a month now. Could you tell me what causes this to happen?
    Thank you. I'll appreciated.

    .

    I have no idea. Could be lots of reasons. That sounds like a problem that needs a professionals eye.

    capacitor?

    I just changed the oil filter and nozzle, but still with no luck. Could it be a capacitor problem?

    Could we have some better hints? The motor runs, but burner doesn't light, or the motor doesn't run.

    Anybody got those winning lottery numbers for tonight?

    The motor doesn't run

    After it ran for few days, then the burner locked out. Even I pressed the reset button, it won't fire, motor is not running. So I have to turn off the circuit breaker, wait about 5 minutes, then turned the circuit breaker on. Then the motor started to run and the burner fired up right away. The first time I reset the circuit breaker, the burner worked for more than a week before it locked out. But now, it worked for less than a week before another locked out. Do you think it's the capacitor problem?

    This isn't a guessing game

    I could spend half the day listing things that could possibly be wrong, but without the knowledge of the system, it's not gonna do you any good. Call a pro
