no water coming to heater, valve closed, lines kinked, tank full of sediment. if new did you open hot side faucets in home to bleed air from system? bled air 5 minute afterlast air bubble leaves faucet.
Unfortunately, looking at the manual for the water heater, the filter is a separate item. And the recommended Delavan line filter page just shows a picture and part numbers of the item, not how to remove it.
I suspect it works in such a way that you hold the end nut portion and turn the large nut portion with open end wrenches. You will need the internal filter replacement and possibly new seals, probably in a kit.
He may have bled the lines but did he also bleed the fuel filter as well. All oil tanks have an oil filter in them, sometimes two. He could hav bleed the lines but still had some residual air in the line, the filter, or somewhere else along the supplu side. I"m sure if you call and explain the situation they will come and rebleed the rest of the air out of the system,especially if you're a regular customer. Also have them check the tank fuel filter, if it's clogged that too would keep oil from getting to the burners.
Hello You have a clogged oil filter or oil line.The (electrode) gap should be left ALONE.The line needs to be blowin out & replace the filter element then the flameout will stop.
It sounds to me like you probably have a clogged oil nozzle. Of course I'm am assuming that you bleed all the air out of the oil lines that run both to the hot water tank and the heating appliance. If you have solid flow at the water heater pump, and the unit still does not ignite, it is most likely the nozzle. Hope this helps
Possibly due to a power failure, control unit needs to be reset. Hit reset button. Hold for 30 seconds. Also no fire typically due to nozzle clogged, no fuel which means control will shut down. Water in fuel will also shut boiler down. Clogged filter will decrease fuel flow. Electric eye face is dirty which will also shut it down. If you have a two line system, open up bleeder and see if you get a good flow. Check electrodes for burned ends or out of gap specs.
The nozzle on the burner is probably clogged. Have a service tech who is qualified look at the burner. Pressing the reset button repeatedly will fill up the chamber with oil and create a dangerous situation.
One of the proper ways to light a gas water heater, is to turn the black knob to Pilot, put a match to the end of the pilot light, while holding the match there, push the red reset button down and hold the match & the reset button down for one full minute. Then, release the reset button and turn the black knob to On. This should keep the pilot light on.
