beckett oil burner tripping out on safety

[@ml9633]

Just had a furnace cleaning done last week. Told guy the Reset tips-off at times and i have to press the reset many times. So he does cleaning, i had vacuumed almost everywhere before he arrived. Today Reset tips-off again at minus 30 outside. Kinda freaks me out. I KZbin the problem. Some guy reading a script explains, i just don't get it. Ah the trusted Lavimoniere, watched few of your videos in the past week before this guy came over. Here you are fixing a miss-fire reset, wow. I took out the cats eye. Cleaned, it had residue. Wow, purring like a cat. Wish i could find a guy like you up here. Thank you, my family is not gonna freeze. Out in countryside. Sir thanks again. Thumbs-up. Cheers, Maurice :)

Ohm out the cad cell while burning is running by removing yellow cad cell wires from primary control and use a jumper to keep burner running and verify that primary control is good. The cad cell should be below 1600 ohms when sensing light/ flame while burner is running. If higher than 1600 Ohms cad cell is dirty, not positioned correctly or just defective or possible shorted cad cell wire . I always hook up my fuel pressure gauge as well to make sure the pump is not breaking down or have a bad burner motor to pump coupling to. This comment is not for you Steve but for younger and newer techs learning the trade and may not have a cad cell on the service truck we do. Nothing worse then having a boss yell at you after you run out to a supply house to get a new cad cell and is does not fix it lol. You are a expert burner mechanic in my book man. Keep up the great work and videos.

Thanks for the tip.

With the control in this video, when the flame lights you push the button once..the green light will blink, each blink is equal to 400ohms. So 1 blink is 0-400 2 blinks is 400-800 and so on.

[@tbone198786]

Even if your a seasoned vet, this process should be done

[@tbone198786]

And ya this control does let you know how much resistance the cad has.

[@kojac40]

Question. My peerless oil boiler runs for about 2 cycles and then the safety red light comes on. Chimney is fine, New control replaced, new cad, filter, cleaning of inside . My question is could a bad ignition transformer be causing this?

[@williamdyckman9704]

Steve, like the way you diagnose the problem and make the repair. Great to watch someone with your years of experience, can learn alot.

[@vjurado11]

Great Video! Sure helped me today.. Same issue start then stop..changed cad cell, replaced fuel nozzle, changed fuel filter. Problem solved. $15 bucks in parts.. Life Saver!

[@Fireship1]

Your troubleshooting is on point Steve! Nice fix.

[@chairde]

I enjoy these videos because they are interesting problems. No made up bull. Of course I learn a lot. I’m a retired school psychologist and in my field when we diagnosed children we say, “ If you hear hoofbeats think horses not zebras.”, which means you start at the most common cause then proceed to the rare or unusual cause.

Good job, Steven Lav.

[@Eddy63]

Good vid Steve ... I enjoy the boiler vids ... And the AC vids ... And the Plumbing vids ...Lol ...I guess I like em all ... Have a great weekend , you and Miss Molly ...

[@bamaslamma1003]

He's got a gas water heater and an oil boiler. How common is mixed fuel setups like that?

[@eddmolina2578]

[@tinoortega7512]

[@markpowell1031]

Congrats on the 70k subscribers

[@fishsquishguy1833]

Well that’s experience for ya! “I think I’ll try changing the cad cell” Done! You’re the best!

She's a runner mama 🤣

[@whitesheatingairappliancer7101]

Great video thank you

[@kjhnsn7296]

I had this issue recently. It turns out the cause was my power vent system. The bush in front on the power vent had grown significantly and must have been disrupting the flow of the exhaust to the point that it tripped the safety and would intermittently shut down the burner. Trimming the bush back and creating distance appears to have solved the issue.

[@Sctronic209]

Where do you get your service tags 🏷.?

[@blakesteen7564]

Steve, a lot of your videos, such as this one, show the house has oil for heat but gas for hot water. Is that a common thing up there? Why is that?

[@randalgordon8822]

I’m new to this is the cad cell universal or is there a specific one

[@H_o_g_a_n]

nice troubleshooting

[@justmylife4421]

bro that’s tarklin Hill Road in Ashley Boulevard

[@linotapia656]

Can anyone help?: my return pipe is not working right, I changed the circulator pump but that didn’t seem to be the problem so my return pipe is hot and my feed is cold. What should I do? What might be the problem, can anyone help?

[@GeorgeMartinez-m8y]

Hey Steve my Beckett won't hold the prime I have to prime it on every cycle. Its start and than shut off once I prime it runs very smooth until the next cycle. That is the only issue everything flows perfect so I am confuse! Any tips! Thank you buddy..

[@stevenlavimoniere]

maybe a air leak in filter at tank on flared fitting or bad oil line ,, do you have a good oil flow out of tank ....... and through oil pump . might be a blocked pump filter

[@GeorgeMartinez-m8y]

@@stevenlavimoniere Hey Steve thank you for getting back to me... The company years ago over pass the filter by putting the line above the Tank... Never had a problem there is a good flow going. I notice a leak at the pump where the 2 bypass plugs are located are leaking a little bit a drop at a time. Few weeks ago I told my wife it has to be a leak some where check the whole line system and everything is good except this two plugs. Probably that is the problem , so how can I fix it? Thank you for your help. Happy St. Patrick Day Brother LOL!!!

[@darlinecaron2590]

Hello we are followers of your videos. We have a Beckett furnace. We have been having the same issue as you were showing in your video. We have completely cleaned the system changed the jet change the filter cleaned out the combustion chamber and clean the cats cell and this continues to do the same thing it runs for 3-4 hours at tops and shuts down. Do you have any further suggestions for us. Please help

[@kojac40]

Did you ever fix it ?

[@wingchun3317]

Thank you help me repair my sister heater

[@kidalwys]

Hey Steve I had a 1.00 .70w today I never seen a w I only have a and b in stock in my truck? You know the difference what a w is?

[@Jremi95]

W is universal. Can use for a or b

[@ravit6223]

good job mama !!!

[@LexVance]

70,000 skid! Woo hoo!

[@dgpuig45]

You went right to that problem. I've seen you solve the same problem in another video.Good analysis. BTW, why do you wear gloves? lol

[@J-Colt]

Thanks Steven! It's Friday Mama!

[@brianmoore5498]

well done. ( like i know what iam talking about!)

[@RayRay-nb7tn]

Light, sound, spark is what gets it going?

[@erikj.2066]

Darkness, and spark is what gets it going. The cad cell seeing light (as in there's a flame) is what keeps it going.
