URGENT Riello 40 burner not firing

[Jim Goodenough]

Evening,
My son's Riello 40 burner keeps going into reset. Oil is definitely there, fan is working, 240v at control box, tried about 10 times without success.
Looking for advice as they have a 2 Yr old and need to get the heating going.

Have a quick look at photocell, any soot on it? If so wipe it off but will need looking at.

Thanks Simon, I was just going to ask you and Shaun for help.... where exactly is the photocell?

If its the mectron burner the photocells on the control box. Loosen screw on side and pull control box towards you. Delicate things mind.

Thanks Simon, I've cleaned it and refitted, still no joy.....

Will need a pressure gauge on to check oil pressure.
