Lack of air causes it to burn yellow clean out burner air ports

Look for dust or contaminants inside the pilot safety device. Blow it out with shop air or flush it with rust buster. If yours is electronic look for contaminated flame sensing device. Clean it with emory cloth and rock on. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

Several things can cause the problem you're having.

1. Low gas pressure due to a near empty tank or the heaters regulator is locked up and only
allows a small amount of gas to get the pilot. To solve this, turn the gas tank valve OFF & dis-
connect the hose from the tank. Wait 5 minutes & reconnect the hose to the tank. Open the gas
valve VERY, VERY SLOWLY (Slow motion, slow). Once the valve is fully open, light the pilot
and hold the gas control valve in for 30 seconds to 60 seconds. After that time, release the control
valve knob. Did the pilot stay lit? If so, problem solved. If it didn't you will need to replace the
heater's Hose/Regulator Assembly. You can use the same one that's for a gas grill. And find it at
any hardware store or home center that sells grills and accessories for about $30.00.

2. The pilot is dirty and needs to be cleaned. Use a can of compressed air with a straw nozzle (like you clean your computer with) to blow out the pilot tip.

3. The thermocouple has failed and needs to be replaced. If this is the case, you can order a new thermocouple for Blue Rhino (1.800.762.1142) , the manufacturer of your Patio Heater.

The pilot jet may be clogged. If there is a flame, it must be small and blue. A large flame that is orange or yellow tipped means that there is a partial blockage in the pilot assembly which needs to be cleared. The pilot flame must also touch the thermocouple in order to heat it correctly. Make sure that the pilot jet and thermocouple are positioned correctly. If you have an extremely small pilot flame, try repalcing the regulator and hose as the regulator may be failing.

Korby, I think you meant, your ignitor is sparking and you're not getting gas to the pilot. Since you have a full tank of propane, I can rule out that the tank is empty. However, I believe the tank or at least the tank valve is playing a role in this.

Turn the tank valve completely OFF and disconnect the hose from the tank. Wait 5 minutes and reconnect the hose to the tank. Turn the tank valve ON VERY, VERY SLOWLY (Slow Motion, slow) until the valve is fully open. Then light the pilot as you normally would. If the pilot lights, you solved the problem. If it didn't, either the pilot light is clogged and needs to be cleaned or the heater's hose/regulator assembly needs to be replaced.

Endless Summer Patio Heaters are made by Blue Rhino. So, if you need parts, that's where you can get them. Hope this helps you troubleshoot and solve the problem. Please let me know. Thanks.

Either the thermocouple connection into the gas control valve is loose or the thermocouple needs replacing. Also check the burner and pilot assembly inside the screen area for dust, dirt and insect build up. A clogged pilot can mimic a faulty thermocouple.

Hope this helps you in troubleshooting and solving the problem.

The pilot light is at the top of the heater inside the mantle screen. You will need to disassemble the top of it, to access it.

you can blow it out from where the line connects to the orfice assembly

Hello YES the gas jet has a spider web in it!I use a pipe cleaner to clear it.They love the smell of propane odor!

Hello. Here is the manual for your heater http://dl.owneriq.net/6/6cebe42d-7e83-e514-e14f-b67f0f50a096.pdf

In that manual is a toll free number so you can call the company directly and order the theremocouple you need. Joe

Probably the thermocouple is bad and needs to be replaced. I assume you have enough fuel? . Is this a new unti or is it a bit old?

this heater is similar to a water heater. It has a thermocouple and they go bad. Before you replace it, check to see that the end of the thermocouple is in the pilot flame. If it is, the thermocouple may be bad. this is more likely than the gas valve being bad. they are usually very reliable because of the high liability issues related to them

If you have athermaocouple on unit it could be going bad. It is the copper line that the head sets in the flame they just go bad. Also if your pilot is not large enough it will cause the tcouple not to work. You may have to take a small wire and clean out pilot. but most of the time it is the thermocouple and you can pick one up at a hardware store. Rus

sounds like a bad gas valve

air gas mix racio to high on air.
