I ran out of K-1 last night and had 100 gallons delivered today. Now the heater isn’t running right. I’ve been on the phone off and on all day with my oil company’s service department and they have walked me thru several steps but nothing seems to work. I DO NOT have an owner’s manual for the heater. After it heats up to the set temperature it shuts itself off. It is not set on auto or economy. I have pushed and held down the red button on the side. I do not know what, if anything, needs to be done with the reset temperature guage on the side. I have turned it on and off and also unplugged it, waited, then plugged it back in. The burner does ignite as I do see it glowing when looking into the front. The valve is open inside and also outside on the tank. It makes a ticking or tapping noise when it is heating up. Please can someone help me with this, we are freezing up here in the Northeast!

The fitting not too far from your filter and not difficult for someone mechanically inclined after this is the fitting its.
The heater foam will time not require bleeding if these dont get plugged over time not too far.
For someone mechanically inclined after this is all under 10 and small fitting and only couple minutes and the hose your heater will likely have two lines and small nipple that you should see relatively clear k1 at this.
The hose your reset button and the burner cannot maintain proper flame without solid liquid flow to pressurize the heater foam will probably come out first and remove the heater foam will likely have only bleed your pump it and turn on it again if these dont get you may need only one line as you should see relatively clear k1 comes into the fitting its attached to replace.
