Propane Wall Mount Heater Shuts Of After 30 Sec

On wall mount heaters it is usually located on the front of the heater near the floor.

Propane wall mount heater shuts of after 30 sec.

If heater keeps shutting off have it serviced. If the heater sparks but doesn t light the gas cylinder supplying the unit may be empty or the gas may be shut off. Gas wall heaters whether vented or unvented can supply enough heat to warm a small or medium sized room and they can operate with propane or natural gas. Step 2 close the empty propane tank if it is small enough to remove by turning the handle counterclockwise as far as it will go.

If you re sure the unit has gas clean the aperture of the gas valve with a needle. Also there may be a pilot adjustment valve on your gas valve. Keep all air openings in front top and bottom of heater free of objects and debris to ensure adequate air for proper combustion. The third reason of why your propane heater keeps shutting off can be a blocked up gas valve orifice.

Another reason of such blockage is the presence of air in the gas line. Gas valve are allowed 30seconds to fall out. If heater shuts off do not relight until you have provided fresh outside air. If heater keeps shutting off see troubleshooting pages 22 through 25.

Turn the control from the on position all the way over to the off position. If so replace the entire valve.
