My girlfriend has a LEDV Series direct vent oil fired boiler that keeps shutting down.
It has a Becket Model AFG oil burner. She has the temp set at 64 degrees but each day when she returns home she has to reset the green light because it is flashing and sometimes the light isn’t on at all . After rresetting it runs fine and gets up to temp.
Any ideas that you can suggest? Her tank is outside and she uses a blend mixture for winter.
Thanks in advance
My dad is looking for information on assembly of the Flame Retention Head for the Burnham V74 furnace. He specifically needs to know how far back the F head sits into air tube. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Eric:
My direct vent oil burner (beckett burner) will not fire up in very cold temps (around 15F). It spits and sputters like a clogged nozzle then shuts down.
I’ve had the installers make at least 20+ service calls in the last 2 winters and still no answers. I can disconnect the outside air intake ducting and it runs fine except then it stinks like raw fuel. This is bad technology in cold climates. I hate to say it but this might have to get settled in court because the heating company has stopped cooperating.
fuel might be freezing
add kerosene
I have a v-7 series burnham oil fired boiler.It was installed by previous owner.During the last 2 winters,when the temps were the coldest of the season,at times it would not restart on it’s own.I would go into the basement,and see the reset button lighted,and it will always restart.I had service come and check,never find a problem.I’m thinking maybe looking at a reliable brand,any opinions?-cpereira2@cox.net
