I plugged my Reddy Heater in, pushed the button, it fired, pushed heat and then after maybe 15-20 seconds, it shut down. If I push the button it will again fire and push heat and then shut down after 15-20 seconds. What do I need to do?
Check your cad cell. replace this. it is not detecting a flame. replacing the cad cell will fix your problem. when it shuts down it goes into lockout.
I tried to go to www.desatech.com and you cannot buy parts on that site anymore. I can get my Reddy Heater parts at www.masterparts.net.
I had the same problem, and it turned out to be the seal on the fuel cap. I replaced the seal, and it runs like a champ.
Motor and pump locked up.

What is a cad cell? I just found a site where I can down load the parts list for this heater.....but I don't see a cad cell listed.
I have the same problem. The unit runs for 10 to 20 seconds after I release the gas button. The only way I can get this unit to run is to constantly hold down the gas button.
plug heater in run 5 minetus shuts down
My 50,000 btu Reddi heater fires right up and I get heat and volume for about 5 seconds before it shuts off. My kerosene is probably 3 or 4 years old, could that be the problem? jimhks
My heater works for 3 - 5 minutes, then shuts off. The time it stays on after the re-start varies. The thermal coupling seems to be ok.
60000BTU PLUG I N SHUT DOWN
My heater keeps shutting down.
Hi, My heater shuts down after a few minutes until finally it won't relight at all, l l suspect it's thermo couple.. I just simply rigged the spring push button down with a clip made out of a fork.. Not to sure how safe it is.. But wa laaahhh. Thermo couple bypassed!!
