Oil burner tripping house breaker

    Discovered that the heating oil burner (benetone sp-108p)is tripping the breaker on the house main panal, the burner will start but after a while(couldn't tell the exact time) the breaker will trip. The fact the burner is starting is leading me to think the motor is fine but I suspect the capacitor is the cause. Would anybody have any other ideas. Can't do anything now as its too late in day but could get parts tomorrow.

    maybe the circulating pump
    try disconnecting it and see does the burner run longer
    turn down the thermostat on the boiler to prevent high limit stat when doing this

    More likely a solenoid, Benetone are famous for it. :rolleyes:

    With a Benetone i would advice not to play around with it yourself, get your local Oftec service man out, they can be a pain in the <(*& :eek:

    Seems we have a winner, the downstairs circ pump is the problem and its the only one not replaced after the "Big Freeze".
