Camry Oil boiler

[Unregistered]

Hi I am a female and not mechanically minded.

I ran out of oil and now my Camry oil boiler won't start.

I have tried pressing a red button inside the boiler and all I get is a fan noise and a red light with lock out illuminates.

Could anyone have advice please

Don't be tempted to repeatedly press the reset button, secondly call an Oftec registered engineer.

Having run out of oil the crud in bottom of tank could have been disturbed. It would be good practice to change filter and ensure feed pipe is clear. Once this is done any problem, air in system or tiger loop should be easy to solve.

what tiger loop, no mention of one in the op 🙂

If you have tried to reset a couple of times allready then no more you can do. Call engineer in to bled and check over boiler or risk causing damage to oil pump and more expense. Get a quote for an electronic oil gauge fitting at same time.

Thank you all, engineer coming out Monday. I was told I have to loosen the bleed nipple to let the air out. Shall I try this ??

Oops I didn't leave it alone and undid the little screw by the pump...just a little 🙂 and lots of bubbles came out. It kept bubbling for a while . When it stopped I retightened the screw....not too tight , and hey presto I have heat.

Still have engineer out on Monday as it needs a service and possibly a new filter but at least the animals and I will be warm later . Thank you all xx

if you fiddled with the other screws and messed up the settings Monday may not come if it starts producing a lot of CO and your flue is faulty
