How to change the pump on a Riello Rdb Burner

Changing the pump on a Riello Rdb Burner is quite easy to do. I changed this pump on the bench and tested the burner afterwards.
All you need is a flat head screw driver a 12 mm spanner a 15 Spanner and a pressure guage so you can set the pump to 8 bar.

Hello Gerry your videos are very informative excellent. I've a Riello 40 g3 oil burner. The problem is it won't fire up anywhere below 2 degrees outside tempature and now recently it takes 3/4 resets to get it going, it's also just started making a humming noise when running, any ideas ? Been serviced last year new pump , capacitor, and control box and jet.

[@martinf47]

Brilliant video.

[@stanleydenning]

Gerry, In the U.S. A very small percentage of homes use Kerosene or even Oil as fuel to heat the house. I did a little research. Maby 2% use Kerosene and about 5% Fuel Oil. The majority use Natural gas or electricity. I do enjoy your posts tho. Thanks.

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Stanley. Thanks for the info. Here in Ireland Kero and diesed are popular in rural locations and gas in many cities. Air sourse heat pumps are getting more popular here now as there is an energy requirement on new homes. I will be making a waste oil burner soon with some parts from one of these burners but I have a lot to get through first. Appreciate your comment Cheers Gerry

[@volvo09]

I live in the new england region, and many homes are oil around here, although the more populated regions tend to have more Nat gas.

[@CL-ty6wp]

Basically everyone inn new england not in a city burns oil. Only seen gas in a few basements my whole life in Maine.

[@karhukivi]

Gerry, I traced the fault to a lack of electrical power to the burner, a wire had pulled out in the dual thermostat on the Amanda boiler. The thermostat screws are very rusted and getting at the connections is not easy. How are these thermostat units fixed to the boiler and how can they be removed/replaced? I can find nothing online about them, nor details of the Amanda boiler which I presume is obsolete... Many thanks for your great videos - very helpful!

[@quinnermattheus]

Any recommendations for a plumber in Dublin that could look at a riello burner having issues ?

[@Adam2050]

Hi Gerry if I put a fresh pump on the same spec, it won't effect any other setup on the boiler? Like Air rate etc? Apart from sorting the pressure.

[@lisanickcarter6561]

Great video Gerry. Used it to change my pump but on pressure test the pressure goes to about 15 bar during venting and drops to zero once boiler fires. Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Why havnt you rep[lied Gerry

[@ayeRIGHTyaBE]

Very good video, where would i get one of those gauges and fittings

[@danyo1972]

Excellent video Gerry. What pressure gauge are using? Can anyone recommend a decent quality one that’s not too expensive?

[@pgtips4240]

Hi there can I ask if it is possible for the pump to only work intermittently? My boiler can run for 2 days then it just stops working. I have replaced solenoid, capacitor, photocell and even though I set my oil pressure to 8 bar a few days ago the pressure is now acting a bit erratic and not pressurising much. It looks to me like it is the oil pump but is there anything else that could cause the pump to act erratic before I go ordering a new one?

[@k1ngad1]

Great video ...thanks .....just 1 question, I note that you have this connected to a domestic three pin plug, there are 4 wires in the cable how are these set upin the domestic plug? Cheers

[@jonnysegway7866]

Great video. On the oil pressure gauge, is the side thumb screw for bleeding and the top to allow oil through to the pressure gauge?

[@Slippyshortz89]

Gerry, I have a Riello RDB burner the same.. When switch heating on at the wall it doesnt do anything not even bring fan on unless you press the reset button on burner then you get the suction sound & it fires up.. Itl only manage say 20 mins or 45 if your lucky of an on / off cycle burning then stops & doesnt come on again.. So say if you left the house at 1pm with it on and came in at 6 itl be freezing. We have to keep going outside and pressing reset every 30 minutes or so to keep heat in the radiators in the house. What would be the issue ? Is it wrong pressure ? Faulty pump? Solenoid? Checked & cleaned the photocell is ok & the burner is getting oil feed ok i think to be fair the feed flexi pipe hooks back on itself before it goes into the burner but not sure if thats an issue? Be great if you could advise then il know what part to buy and fit before this cold weather hits us .. Good man yourself 👍 Thank you

[@tucker35Ire]

Hi what if your getting no spark and then goto lock out. The electrodes are set correctly. Would a faulty pump keep if from sparking, or a faulty relay coil. If get no spark would it be more common for the control box to be gone. Thanks

[@lewistownsend3484]

[@rossfuller8968]

Hi gerry can you use a 50/50 mix of waste oil and kerosene in one of them burners. Or would it not work. Kerosene gone expensive in Ireland now. Just looking for a way of using up some waste engine oil thanks.

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Ross. The nozzle would have a hard time with the engine oil and would clog and the air mix would suffer because of the inconsistent fuel. A different setup can burn it though but would require a different burner and compressor. Cheers Gerry

[@rossfuller8968]

Thanks.

[@philipfranklin5384]

As long as you filtre the waste oil u will b fine. I use 70 percent waste oil but be prepared to clean the end of the Photocell now and again, Only takes a minute

[@timhough9908]

Hi Gerry, wish I had watched this before stripping down my burner and replacing the fuel pump possibly unnecessarily (I did not bleed it thoroughly first). Could you help identify a suitable pressure gauge to buy? I saw someone else had asked for this before too. Also, in the video where you create one working burner from 3 scrap ones, towards the end, you show how to adjust the amount of air, and mention that you will demonstrate how to use this when the burner is in the boiler so that you can ensure you have a clean blue flame. I cannot find the video where you show how to do this? I am assuming there is somewhere that I can gain access to see the flame, and then adjust the screw to optimise the burn. Could you describe where I can get this view? Thanks for your help!

[@gabrielboni1]

Hi Gerry, my heater stopped today and i discovered that my wife ordered gas oil (diesel) rather than kerosene. But before killing her, want to know if there is any how to run this heater on diesel? Thanks very much and great video!

[@swisstoni01]

Hi Gerry can I ask a quick question. So our RDB has a leaky pump. When the engineer fits a new one he adjusts the pump to 7bar. As soon as he set the new pump to 7bar it leaks from the adjuster?? He has tried 3 new pumps. Riello aren’t much help?? Any ideas?? It’s a Grant 50/70 unit about 22 years old. It functions very well. Many Thanks

[@philipfranklin5384]

Remove the adjuster and clean the threads, Wrap some plummers tape around the threads and replace, Dont b shy use plenty of tape, Sounds like the housing has a slight imperfection. This should do the job. Let me know

[@swisstoni01]

Thanks for the reply. The unit is currently using its original pump which was being replaced because it was dripping kerosene. Is leaking kerosene a common fault?? Where would an older established pump leak from?? Also the engineer fitting the new pumps was adjusting the unit to 7bar. I note you were using 8bar. Was he using the correct pressure? Do some units utilise different pressures.

[@philipfranklin5384]

@@swisstoni01 When replacing the pump, The pump is all u get, Sounds as if your adjuster has a fault, ie danaged or leaky thread so re-using it with a new pump wont solve the problem, U need to replace the pressure adjuster. 8 bar is the correct setting. Higher or lower would not cause a leak. B carful that the adjuster and pump has not already been cross threaded. If it has u will need to replace both items

[@darrenmackenzie1892]

Hi Gerry. I wanting to pick your brians... I picked up a standard riello pump but when I arrived on the job it was a mectron riello pump and it was a hour drive. It should of been a standard riello pump but the mectron looks similar swapped over the inlet nipple but the solenoid nut doesn't fit. The boiler fires up no bother Are there any issues that you can see by me doing this??

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Darren. The nut just holds the solenoid in place and a burner will work without one. If you have it working it should be fine. Cheers Gerry 👍

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Daniel. Really easy to change the solenoid. Just a thumbscrew and a couple of spade connectors. Check out my recent video on rebuilding a Riello burner kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqKldGlpa56riMk Hope this helps. Cheers Gerry 👍👍

[@danielgilroy267]

Thanks very much Gerry. I'll get one tomorrow. 👍👍

[@GerrysDiy]

@@danielgilroy267 Daniel. There's a rough test you can do on the solenoid to see if it is working. Take the solenoid off but leave it electrically connected and place a metal screw driver inside the hole. Power on the burner and when the solenoid gets powered it snould become magnetic. You will feel resistance when you try to move the screwdriver. If you have a meter you should get 100 Ohms resistancehe +/- 5 . Check for resistance with the solenoid plugged out of circuit. Hope this helps good luck Check this out bit.ly/2LIkzCD Cheers Gerry 👍

I've stripped the burner and there seems to be the same resistance on the pump and the motor with neither very free but easyish to turn which do you think is the problem? Or could it just be the capacitor? Note there was a bit of a screeching from it when it was running before 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@grahamoreilly1981]

I remember this happened before and I found on KZbin a way of resetting the burner where it try’s ignite 3 times in one cycle before faulting. How to I do this?

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Graham. Usually the burner is fine but the line is airlocked. There are a couple of ways to approach this. you can clear the line back into the the oil tank using low pressure compressed air. You will need to open the vent screw on the burner and blow the oil back into the tank. Make sure that you are not messing with the pressure screw. If you can wait I will have a video on this later in the week. Hope this helps Cheers Gerry
