Heater tipped over. how do I reset the heater

All questions need FULL 'make model (what it is)' or it is all guesswork.

My guess is that the heaters have a 'tip over switch'.

there is what is a called a tip switch some of them have to be manually reset.
If not then the tip over switch is stuck rock it back and forth or gently shake it ans see if it will go back to safe position

the tip over switch is sticking or you need to give it more time to reset itself

You don't say, but I am assuming that the motor is running and there is combustion in the combustion chamber and the heater is running fine, then the reset trips. Is this correct? If so, chances are the Safety Control (reset) is defective. Part number HA3003. The photocell could also be at fault. Check for a dirty lense on the photocell.

But---If there is no combustion in the chamber, then the photocell detects a no-flame condition and then it trips the reset.
