Thank you Mr. William Harvey! It's -20 in Northern Alberta and my furnace stopped working and my wife is pissed, my son is freezing and I couldn't figure it out. You are an actual lifesaver at this point. Well done!
Thanks so much for posting this video. I was going crazy trying to bleed the system and would not kick in and had flashing green light. I did the steps you said on video and got it on in about 5 seconds after the 30 second wait for the hard reset. Thanks so much, its a good thing we have people who post videos like this one and help others save anywhere $25.00 to $150.00 for the exact same thing you did on this video. Thank you again, i dont know how to show you that people do appreciate people like you. God bless you and your loved ones. I have the exact same beckett system as the one on the video. Once i saw it it made me feel more confident on doing it. Just put in $980.00 in oil and saved the bleeding part. God bless🙏🙏🙏
I’m glad it helped. I never had one before and made a record of it so I’d remember if I didn’t need it for years. I never knew anyone but me would need it
Thanks a lot folks. I did this in my heat furnace and did that only once. That did not helped. Landed on this video and learned that we should do it at least twice. I just repeated the steps bleed out some oil and poof the Beckett fired up and started working. You guys are the best. Thank you.
Thanks for making this, I also live in Alaska and our shop heater has been out for 2 days. I got tired of waiting for maintenance to get to us, watched your video and did it myself.
Thank you so much! We still got oil in our house and we have this exact burner on our hot water tank, me and my dad weren't trying to get out of lockout right. This video was more to the point than any of the 30 pages of nonsense on Google.
I can’t thank enough for this video of yours i was having the same issue and it worked after following the same as in the video. My family can now stay warm. 🙏🙏🙏 god bless you .
Dude I’m totally lost when it comes to this…after reading information on my starter I discovered it went into hard lockout…but my manual didn’t mention this procedure…I had to do it twice and after that it started working!! Thanks soooo much….I’m thawing put now!!
We replaced oil filter but didn't do the bleed and the furnace continued working. The lockout occurred about 10 days later, we tried the bleeding as in the video even though we were suspicious that this would work, and it did the magic. Thank you so much.
Thanks for this video. My nextdoor neighbor let his fuel tank run empty and after getting it refilled, his furnace wouldn't light.... I used your video to save him a service call.
You guys are the shit! I changed my tank filter, and apparently got air in the line... I was lost trying to figure it out for a day without heat and subfreezing nights! Thanks again, best video
I just watch the video follow the procedure and it work thank you so much I was about to call a plomer but your video save me thank you men God bless you
It's best to use a bottle or hose that you can put over the nipple on the bleeder because it's right beside the air intake and it will suck oil in to the burner and make a mess. Hold the button down until the green light turns on and off again. After the burner starts give the button another quick push, and it will go into purge mode and continue to run for over a minute to give it time to get all the air out.
I havent done it yet and hope i dont have to but that sounds logical and i hope if i need to do it one day, I remember that. at my age though, who knows?
Dude... You saved my life! My tenant freaking out coz she didn't have hot water.. I followed your procedure and now everything is work. I just don’t know why this is happened. THANK YOU!!!!
I was the guy recording the video. Everyone has to learn. I haven’t had to do it yet and hopefully I don’t have to but I have a how to video to watch and learn if it happens and that was the point of the video. I never knew it happened this often
I just had this same issue UT no blinking lite opened bleeder taped on selinoid Bing o it started open bleed nut steady on till heat was enough working lite it should tu
@@mountainman78629 my burner has locked out as I ran out of oil, your instruction was straight to the point on how to flush the air out and it's working again. Greetings from the Boston Area!
Going down into the hell hole and hopes this works. Thanks guys. I'll be back up to let ya know Edit: YES SIR,IT WORKED!!! idiot charged 175 bucks last time it did this. Thank you so much!!! I wish I found this 6 months ago when it lock me out. Thanks a million
My Beckett manual said hold 15 seconds to restart hard lockout and I kept doing that and it blinked and locked out again instantly. it wasn’t until I saw this that I realized I had a Carlin controller on my Beckett burner that has to be held for thirty seconds.
In my experience, holding it down does not trigger the reset. It’s when you remove your finger it resets. The thing the air comes out of looks similar to a grease fitting
What if you don't bleed it. I had a lockout a couple times throughout the years, I would just press the button. It would lockout again, and I'd press it again, and it would just work... Locked out for the first time this winter, so I might have to bleed it this time...
@mountainman78629 nothing crazy, had my tank filled, it turned off during a little after, I was freaking out because I had no idea what was going on (first timer with oil heat) Looked up my model and found your video. Super easy to follow, had it up and going in no time. I appreciate it!
Does this type of reset apply for the cooling aspect or just heating since it involves the flame? Summers getting hot here, and, for whatever reason, our units simply unable to get any cold air going. Fans on & running but nothings home. Exact same Becket unit though.
Any ideas if you bled it multiple times and air just keeps coming out instead of a consistent oil flow? Just put about a half tank of oil in and tried to reset it, bleed it etc. but it’s just spitting droplets and air
Are you out of fuel and is the fuel line on? Mine stays off. I have to open a ball valve at the tank and then turn a breaker on. If you have fuel any air should bleed off. The most I’ve had to bleed air is twice.
Reading it again, if you have fuel it could be a fuel line closed. If not, how far is your fuel tank from your boiler? Open the drain and let the air bleed until you get a steady stream of fuel. You should be catching anything in a bucket of some sort so you’re not wasting any. Let me know if that helps
Our tank is up against the house in the back yard and boiler is in the basement. We’ve been here four years and never had a problem after getting oil delivered. Usually just need to bleed it 2x and then it kicks on but I’ve bled it dozens now and it’s just either air or it spits instead of a consistent flow. Could it possibly be the filter needing to be replaced?
@@courtneyragnoli it could be. If the fuel line is on and no fuel is getting to the boiler it has to be something. Is it possible to disconnect the fuel line at the tank to find out if it’s getting that far? It it’s not getting past the filter it’s not getting to the house. There’s not much that can go wrong. Fuel valve closed. Is it a ball valve or a gate valve? What kind of fuel line are you using? Copper? If the valve is open and you’re getting air at the boiler the air has to be coming from somewhere. Make sure your valve is open. Someone could have closed it. Don’t assume anything. It you get fuel past the filter to the fuel line it’s not the filter. The line could be bent or crushed
Mine is for both hot water and some piping system to heat the house but my thermostat is off and it works. Hold down about 30 seconds and let up. If nothing happens hold down for a minute. I found out mine doesn’t start the purge process until you let off the switch, so I don’t know the minimum time the button has to be held down
I honestly don’t know. I’m not a repair man but breakers go out. If you have a volt meter you could try to see if power is to the other side of the breaker first and if so then check the boiler. I just made the video in case after buying the house I lost prime and forgot how to do it.
If it’s the breaker you’re going to have to shut the main one off to everything and get that identical replacement. Put it in and hook the wires back up and it should work. If it’s the breaker
My furnace is not in a hard lockout, but keeps shutting down. The green light is flashing just like yours. Bled the line just like you did and some air was in the line and I did it twice till there was just fuel coming out. The problem I’m having is after I hit the button the furnace kicks in runs for about 10 minutes, stops, kicks back on but about 40 seconds into the kicking back on it stops and I get the green flashing light again. 😡😡
I’ve never done it myself. I made the video because I’m from Texas and we didn’t have that setup because we didn’t need it. I worked on towboats running up and down the Mississippi River since 97 though and ours on the barges were massive and burned about 110 gallons an hour. If yours is running that long it sounds like all the air might be out so I’m wondering if you have a filter problem?
Sounds like no power to the unit. I have a switch in the floor joists that is supposed to go to my boiler. The electrical outlets don’t work but the switch is in the on position. If you have a volt meter check the breaker. It might be out. Flip it on and off a few times if necessary because that worked once for a stove.
What if there's absolutely no light on at all? Line typically there's the little red light indicator. Just tried to fire it up and no light, no start, no nothing.... Really need some help before i try to call
@@mountainman78629 I've tried everything in my wheelhouse.... I think it did this last year when i ran out of oil. I seem to remember it doing this and if it is that, the tech said it locked itself out.... I'm trying to remember from a year ago also but i think that's what the issue was then and it's presenting itself like that this time (I guess) Breaker wasn't tripped or even off, all switches are in the on position etc.... When i turn thermostat up even all the way there's nothing at all. I hit the reset button, again nothing! I'm having oil delivered on Friday and I'll have them check it then i guess.... If they don't know then guess I'm calling someone else.... I can't find a specific video with what mine is doing really.... Wish i could!
@@37Sith wheelhouse? I used to work on towboats and we had wheelhouses on them. we had boilers/heaters on the barges but this little thing might burn a gallon an hour whereas the heaters on the barges burned about 110 gallons an hour
I don’t know anything about that. I used to work on boats running up and down the Mississippi River and our boilers used about 110 gallons an hour so I understand valves and flow. I turned them on and off. Barge maintenance worked on them. My boiler is the only one I’ve seen. The guy I bought the house from showed me how to bleed the air. You might have to call whoever made your system to ask questions if you need help
Ran out of oil and they refill my tank today and it had so much air in it and I followed your instructions in your video it worked to a T so thank you so much..
Everything else might be the same. He held it down for about 30 seconds I think. If you can’t get it going look around on it for instructions or a manufacturer name and try to contact them. They would know
I made that video because the place I’m buying ran out and I knew if it didn’t happen for many years I’d forget and it was just a way to have it stored where I could find it. I never knew so many people would need it. I’m glad it helped
I was the guy in the background. The owner of the house was showing me how to do it. It’s ok though. I lost the tip of my finger to a table saw when I used to work on towboats and I went to a boat where the captain was telling me some dumbass lost the tip of his finger and now the office didn’t want us using them. I held up my finger and said I’m that dumbass. It’s a good thing I’m not easily offended but to be honest, if you knew me better it would be a lot worse
