riello kerosene burner

I wonder if it's the hydraulic jack at the top of the air intake flap thingy? If there's no resistance to the flap when moving it, this could suggest it's at fault.

Only saying this as I had to replace on recently that was leaking. If it's not opening to let the air in, then the rest of the firing sequence won't work but the motor will run until lockout.

Re the control box, please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can test the connections on the control box to see if it's at fault, rather than just changing it and finding there was nothing wrong with the first one in any case.

How do you test control box?

Errr .... not sure!!

I think (but I'm not that experienced as you've probably guessed) that you can put a multimeter on particular connections to see if they're live during the firing sequence (as per the manual?) It's my understanding that these connections will turn on and off during the ignition process.

This is why I asked in my earlier post if someone else could correct me with this.

to test the control box, replace with a new one! unless your good with electrics and wish to spend time putting in cable junction boxes (to make yourself a testing point)

if you do wish to test it you will find a wiring diagram on the underside of the control box, but again you have to understand the sequence of events happening.

good luck
