Energy Kinetics Oil Leak or Poor Combustion Odor

Oil smell around the boiler or in the basement, especially after burner operation.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Leaking oil line or fittings, Dripping nozzle, Loose burner gasket, Incomplete combustion

Safety: Avoid open flames or sparks near oil odors. Turn off the boiler and do not smoke in the area.

1. Inspect oil piping: Look for wet spots or drips on the oil line, filter, and pump at the Energy Kinetics burner. Place a pan under any active drip and wipe up spills.
2. Check burner door gasket: Ensure the burner mounting plate and boiler front cover are tight and gaskets are intact.

Any oil leak or persistent odor should be corrected by a licensed oil technician.
