Check furnace switch, main electrical panel furnace fuse or
circuit breaker. Also look for any other hand operated switch,
such as an old poorly located furnace switch, which was not
removed during furnace replacement.
Remove thermostat wires from oil primary control terminals T-T.
Place a jumper across T-T. If furnace starts, replace thermostat,
thermostat sub-base (if equipped), or both.
Check reset button on oil primary control. Remove thermostat
wires from oil primary control terminals T1 - T2. Check for 24V
across T -T. If no voltage is present, check for 115V to oil
