My Beckett oil burner with a honeywell R7184P just did the same thing. Quit burning, blinks for half a second. The burner says press reset once, if it does not reset then call a local serviceman. It is cold here in Alaska, you betcha', and my oil must have jelled up. It happened once, but pressing reset solved my problem, two days later it stopped again. I applied heat (hair dryer) to my supply line, added an anti-jelling solution to my tank. Here is what I found.
"The Honeywell R7184P-1080 (interrupted control—transformer shuts down 10 seconds after flame is established) is now the standard control used on all Beckett oil burners along with the new “Cleancut” pump. The Honeywell control has both a 15 second pre-purge and a 15 second post purge feature, as well as internal self-checking of the control itself. The control has 15 second lockout timing plus a 10 second ignition carry over period. After 3 lockouts during the same call for heat, the control goes into restricted lockout., A restricted lockout condition may be reset by holding the reset button down for 30 seconds until the LED flashes twice. At any time the control is powered, the reset button may be held for 30 seconds to reset the lockout counter. There are several new “Service Features” with the R7184P control that make for easier servicing."
You have to press the reset button for thirty seconds. I don't know how cold it it there, or what number oil you guys are burning, but what I do know is that you guys have been pressing your reset button more than once.
This worked for me. Good luck.
that worked pissa that was the issues i replaced the oil filter and held it for 25-30 secs and purged the air and nice i have heat thank you very much. you saved me hundreds of $
thank you the manufacturer does not list this so the layman does not get hurt but not everybody is a layman thank you i was about to change out the burner control as i have yet to run into this restricted lockout problem thanks again this will better help me serve my clients
extremely helpful. thanks for the tip re: holding the reset button down until the led light flashes. miy unit flashes one time. i got heat!!! thanks
Hi... I pressed the restart button numerous times, - the furnace won't even make a clicking sound, the green light is flashing. -- I don't know how many times I pressed the green button... I'm just seeing this now, about holding button down for 45-50 seconds. Will it be safe for me to try holding button down for 50 seconds, now???? Please help!

Hold the reset button down til you get a the light to blink once....may take 30 seconds or so .
second, make sure you purge all of the air out of the fuel line..(my problem the burner wouldnt start,how air got in the line i will never know)
once all air is purged ,burner should operate without problems
The fast blink is restricted or "hard" lockout, press and hold the reset button while watching the green LED, after about 40-50 seconds the green LED will come on momentarily; this will reset the control and allow the burner tol attempt a restart.
I have a Honeywell Beckett AFG. It keeps shutting down and wont refire? I just had it cleaned about 5 months ago. How do I clean the jets?
I had same problem-This is what i did
Hold red button for 15 seconds, it will blink once,let go,furnace will try to start.
Mine wouldnt start,checked oil supply to furnace and i was not getting any.Looked in tank to make sure i had oil,and guage wasnt stuck,everything ok,Then pulled off filter and it was filled with crud.
Replaced oil filter, then bled system of air..Mine has a bleeder valve,it looks just like bleeder valve on car brakes.
and now i have heat and hot water again. yahoo
My green dont come on

You should press and hold the reset button for 45-50 seconds, at that time it will blink for a second. That will actually reset te burner to factory default, then it will go into normal operation.
Remember it is important to replace the nozzle every year, it is the number one cause of lockouts. Also check the porcelin sleves around the electrodes, if they are broken/cracked you need to have electrod assembly replaced by a certified HVAC Tech. Also its very important to wear gloves when touching the porcelin part of the electrodes. Believe it or not the oil from your skin can cause them to have major defects and even ruin the part.
furnace was firing coming on before cycle could finish it would go into lockout mode repllaced nozzle,and filter outside at oil tank bled line still the sane thing replaced eye reset still the same just read to hold reset until light flashed took about a min it started back and went through the whole cycle think it may be fixed

Hello. Been troubleshooting all day. Get the lockout reset and the system appears to try to fire. Is there an easy way to know if it's the electrodes or the transformer without pulling out apart? Definitely she'll the oil. Bubbles in the aerator looks very clean but keeps tripping to blinking light. Is there a danger in continuing to reset?

i have the same problem did u find a answer to this i need one! BBRRR
ditto here....fast blinking green light
my becket honeywell will not reset the blinking lights keeps blinking after i hit reset. What should I look for to fix?
Also have a Honeywell R7184P on a Becket. Brand new install with sporadic problems. Shutting power at the on/off at the boiler is the only way to reset it. Good for a day or two, then happens again.
I have the same problem some what, on my NEW r7184P keeps losing prime to the oilfilter. flow valve is is new times 2 (tried a few)
and im in alaska its -41 in big lake and my heater is screwy! Fireplace helps a bit but dont want lines to freeze... retarded system.
Thanks for the solution (and this website) . We had this same issue and were able to fix it because of you. Thanks,

it works. Great information I froze my off last night not knowing how to reset a f-----g blinking light. I\'m burning the goddam manual that came with unit. Says nothing except spend more money and call a licensed plumber. Screw them too. I spent 3 grand for the unit and all it can tell me is spend more. Simple is best and you gave it to me. Many Thanks
