I have a Beckett oil fired gun model # AFG
For the past few weeks it has been turning off in the middle of the night
I decided to get it a tuneup
technician came and tuned it up
very thorough, new filter, nozzle, vacuum, etc.
two days later, same problem
Technician came back and said it could be the motor or the relay switch
He changed out the screen but said its unlikely a new screen will fix it.
That night it turned off again
When I hit the reset button it fires right up, no rumble, no smoke, very slight smell in the first 15 seconds but that quickly goes away.
Technician wants 185 dollars for the part and 95 bucks to put it in
It is a Carlin relay, part # 40200-02 I found it online for 48 dollars
This is my Question:
Should I do an exact replacement or is there a better relay switch that I could be using?
Also, Whats the worst that could happen if I change it myself?
