    See if you can unscrew one of the threaded plugs up on top of the tank and stick a stick in that hole to check level. Post back...

    Need help with burning firing.. I recently had the burner serviced.. and they tech said to make sure you keep the inlet clear of dust.. well I recently did some wood working in the basement.. and had saw dust everywhere.. after that the red light on the burner turns on when the burning is firing after 30 seconds or so.. so shut the system down and I blew out the inlets with some compressed air and there was a good amount of dust that flew out. If I shut off the switch it will fire for a cycle or two and then the red light will come back on.. well I left the house today came back tonight and the red light was on.. so I shut the switch off and turned it back on and it fired up.. and then after about 30 seconds or so it turned off and red light.. I shut the system off.. I did that twice or so and now there is a red and amber light.. I think I might have flooded the system.. but how can I fix it so the red light will not come on ? There is just under 3/4 of a tank of oil

    Please advise

    Hi Adam...

    Sounds like dust got in and plugged stuff up, for sure... probably needs to be cleaned professionally to be sure you have no issues when it gets really cold!
