]Hi
I have a FireBird Enviromax Oil Boiler
Every week or two the boiler starts at appointed times but the boiler coughs and splutters and doesnt start up - its like if it trying to power up but it cant and is coughing to clear something.
The problem appears to be that an LED sensor in the boiler is getting covered in black dust -
If i clean the led sensor with a piece of tissue and put in back in the system starts up and works
This seems to happen every couple of weeks
Anyone know why this would be happening and what needs to be done, if anything to stop this from happening. Im assuming ti something to do with the oil - its kerosene
The workaroound works in terms of fixing the problem but would like to figure out why this happens and if anything can be done to fix it so to stop it
Thanks
