Boiler update. Fitted a new nozzle, cleaned fuel pump filter. Seems to have resolved the problem, boiler not locked out now for a few days. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Terrywookfit, thanks for your reply. I Have checked photocell for resistance, when open reading changes to light conditions and when covered goes straight to OL, so seems ok. Is it worth testing for resistance when photocell is in situ? Since my post yesterday, have made further live tests on...

Boiler lockout update. Replaced coil and coil stem, did not resolve the locking out problem. Done a resistance test on photocell, seems ok, checked oil nozzle seems clean, and changed within the last 2 years. Possible control box issue? Any way of testing this to confirm? Any further...

Using auto ranging multimeter

Checked resistance immediately after lockout, initial reading was approx 0.023 but then quickly went up to approx 1.956.

Just checked solenoid with the Danfoss magnetic tool, all seems to be in order with the solenoid. https://www.danfoss.com/en-gb/service-and-support/downloads/dcs/magnetic-tool/#tab-overview Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. Not checked for magnetic resistance, how is that done?
