Low level sensor not reached, pump timed out Reason: The fuel has not reached the low level sensor in the burner during operation due to fuel running out, blockage in the fuel lines, debris in the burner or faulty pump.
- Page 22 B. Flame out (THERMOCOUPLE TEMP. DROP) Reason: Strong draught could have put the flame out or the thermocouple could be faulty.
