The Beckett oil burner has something called an Oil Burner Reset Button that will reset the burner if if has been locked out. The button on the Beckett model oil burner will be located towards the front of the burner. The button will be red and will push in to reset the burner. Most of the time when the oil burner reset button “locks out” the burner from starting, there is some sort of problem with the unit.

Some common things that will trip the reset button on the Beckett Oil burner are running out of fuel oil, a clogged burner nozzle, bad electrodes and many other things. If you have ran out of oil and your burner reset button has tripped you will not want to reset the Beckett burner until you get more fuel oil. Once you get more fuel oil you can then push in the reset button and the burner should start. If you have pushed in the reset button once and the Beckett Burner does not start you should call a heating professional to come out and take a look at what’s wrong with your burner.
