hi guys
the oil pump is a bfp41s, the contrller unit is a bentone 832.3
i've read a few posts on the topic and gathered a list of things to check.. but here are the symptoms if anyone can give a targeted advice:
i set the heating and hw to On then press the lockout reset button, there's a noise like a fan running, a noise like a motor (like a freezer compressor) and a rapid buzzing which i'd guess is the igniter and a few seconds later a boomph noise as the boiler fires.
it runs and produces hot water for some random amount of time that seems to get shorter the more i press the reset button (something electrical geting hot and failing?)
after this random amount of time there's a rapid clicking like a solenoid or relay opening and closing(though i can't tell whether it's one or several relays) for about half a second and the buzzing (of the igniter?) is heard for an extended period of time (longer than the first time)
the boiler doesnt seem to fire and goes into lockout mode
the boiler owner says it was serviced a few weeks ago, but it hasnt been used much since-this is a holiday rental property
thanks in advance
