Riello error codes

The most common codes for Riello oil burners, with what they mean and what to do.

Riello burners have no display: when the burner locks out, the light in the reset button comes on or flashes. Riello asks not to reset it more than twice in a row.

Steady red light

No flame at start-up: the burner has locked out. Most often: out of oil, dirty flame sensor, faulty valve or ignition.

Heating oilCheck there's still oil in the tank and that the supply valve is open. Reset the burner once: if it locks out again, don't keep trying; call us.

Light: 0.5 s on, 2.5 s off

The oil preheating didn't finish within 10 minutes: faulty preheater.

TechnicianA component or electronics fault: this needs a technician. Don't open the boiler; call us and give the code shown.

Source: Riello, RIELLO 40 G3R oil burner installation, use and maintenance manual (20199626, riello.com). Codes and how they're shown can differ between models: if in doubt, your appliance's manual applies.

First steps

  1. Write down the code shown: it saves us time.
  2. Check the pressure gauge.
  3. Check that the gas tap is open.
  4. Reset once. If the code comes back, call us.
