I have a 110 Pro 110,000 BTU Reddy Heater that will not run. The motor spins freely when off, but will not spin at all when it gets power. This happened after it ran out of fuel. The reset switch will trip. Then I reset it and the motor still will not work. The spark still works fine.

If the unit lights Check the photo cell this can be done with an ohm meter and good light. Should have continuity in light.

Bearing have gone bad in the electric motor. You will have to replace the electric motor. They are expensive but still cheaper than buying a whole new heater.

Is there a frost line on your LP tank, if so you may need to replace the tank with a larger tank or refill your tank. This can happen if the tank your using is too low or too small (use 100 lb tank or greater). If there is no frost line it may be an issue with the thermocouple. The manufacturer offers a service manual and owner's manuals on there site. This should assist you... www.desatech.com Thank you
