CLOGGED BURNER NOZZLE

Check burner nozzle for dirt or soot

The sprayer nozzle on hot water pressure washer sprays oil into the combustion chamber under pressure and the igniter lights the oil to create a flame.

The spray nozzle sprays the oil in a pattern, angle and amount specific to the make and model of the burner. Over time, the buildup of sludge and gunk inside the chamber can clog the spray nozzle, and the burner no longer heats properly.

You can attempt to remove the sludge blocking the nozzle but replacing the nozzle along with the oil filter, pump screen and gaskets. reduces the chance of the new nozzle clogging.
