Hi,

We have the above oil fired boiler, and the lockout keeps operating. It
was serviced mid October, and the guy who did it cleaned everything, and
replaced a jet, but could find no obvious fault.

It locked out 29th Oct., twice on 8th Nov. and four times (so far) today.
Any idea what the problem might be, before I call the guy back? I know
nothing about boilers, and am not about to start pulling it apart. Cold
up here, in NE Scotland :-)

I hope that the guy who serviced the boiler also tuned it by checking the
oil pressure, smoke and CO2 % and adjusting the air.

Your problem maybe dirty photocell, maybe oil supply.

I have filters in my oil supply, if I don't change the elements every few
years they clog up and stop the boiler.

I also have a non return valve in my oil supply and this recently gave me
some trouble.

Apart from making sure that you have some oil I don't think that there is
much more that you can do without a spanner.
