• Is it set above room temperature?
• Be sure your thermostat is set on heating mode.

Make sure your oil burner switch is in the ON position

Check all fuses and circuit breakers:

• Look in your main electric panel box.
• Circuit breakers may look like they're on. Check that they're not tripped.

Check your oil tank to ensure it contains oil:

• Most above ground tanks have a gauge. Sometimes it will malfunction.
• For underground tanks, you may have to use a stick to measure the amount of oil in your tank.
• Double check when your last delivery was.

Check the blower door:

• The blower door may be removed or slightly open. This could cause a switch on the door to shut down the furnace.
• Close the door securely.

Locate the oil system RESET BUTTON. Don't press the button until you read this entire section!

• RESET buttons are typically located on: the oil burner, on the front of the furnace or boiler, on the chimney pipe.
• You may need to remove the front panel of the system jacket to see the control with the reset button.
• Water heaters normally have the reset button on a control at the oil burner.
• Reset buttons are normally RED or SILVER.
• If you can't locate your reset button, have your Shipley Energy Service Technician point it out on your next service call!
• Press the RESET BUTTON ONLY ONCE!
