oil burner locks out after a few days?

I have a rellio burner and every few days it will go to lockout. When i hit reset it will go for another few days any ideas what wrong?

sounds as if the capacitor is wearing out. Most capacitors for riello are rated at 4uf and through time this gradually decreases and will not give the motor a big enough power boost to start. There also may be a slight tightening in the oil pump or on the motor bearings which needs the capacitor to be at full power.
