I have a reddy heater 40,000 btus and it works with the top off but when I put the top piece back on the fan hits it? what do I do

Either the fan blade is loose or the mount is loose, or the outside of the heater has been damaged/dented and hitting the blade. Leaving the top piece off is only an option if there are no pets or children around.

Clean your nozzel, check your fuel & air lines, you may need to replace Spark plug and filters. You can go to the manufacturers website at www.desatech.com and they offer service manuals. I hope this helps you!

WITH PROPANE THEY NEED CLEAN AIR, I HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHEN I USE THEM IN A CRAWL SPACE, TRY TO PUT IT SOME PLACE WHERE IT CAN GET CLEAN AIR, GOOD LUCK PLEASE LEAVE FEED BACK IF THIS WORKS

The fuel maybe contaminated,or you need some anti-gel additive to add to the fuel.Check the intake filter in the back,near the pump plate.

If there is NO fuel then the pump rotor is probably broken. http://www.reddyparts.com/rotor%20replacement.htm


If there is SOME fuel then set the air pump pressure. http://www.reddyparts.com/pressure.htm

..,//,

The problem was solved by installing a new nozzle.

There isn't enough information to make a formuls for you. I normally just go to where I want to put my formula, hit the Auto-Sum button and modify it to suite what I want. Make sure you don't have formatting set for auto or turned off for the cells you want to work with.
