The controller is most likely bad. Once the thermo coupling is released it should continue the flow of propane to the heater grid.
Look on Ebay for a replacement thermo coupling. It shouldn't be expensive. Good luck...

SOURCE: forced air propane heater won't stay lit

two items come into play here - 1) the hot surface cutout and 2) the flame detect Cd cell. Check alignment of the Cd cell or just replace it. The hot surface cutout has two terminals that plug into the two tabs on the millivolt generator.

SOURCE: Torpedo heater wont stay lit.

Do you have the serial number or the manufacture date? There are some design changes and I would need to know the year of manufacture to assist accurately. Usually it is a relay or the thermocouple connection that will affect the unit staying lit.

SOURCE: pilot will not stay lit after button release

most likely you have a thermopile that has low output. it takes about 100mv to maintain pilot light

SOURCE: Laars Lite 2 LG - pilot light will not stay lit.

It sounds like a thermocouple has gone bad. this is a very common problem with gas powered things ie; water heaters, furnaces, hot tubs. The telltale sign is when you release the pilot light button it won't stay lit. This is a safety feature and is relatively inexpensive and easy to repair.

SOURCE: propane shuts off after releasing start button.

I have the same problem with my Reddy heater 55-f. Is it thermal coupling or relay?

Propane torpedo lights but doesnt stay lit

I'm confused. First you listed this as a propane torpedo heater. Second, it's a problem with and All Pro PK115 T Forced Air Kerosene Space Heater. And finally, you say "propane torpedo lights but doesn't stay lit."

Which is it? To really help you, I'll need the correct manufacturer's name & model number. And whether it's propane or kerosene fired?

Thanks.

SPC-40 wont stay lit

Problem is either the thermocouple or the thermoelectric valve. I have one of these as well with the same problem. On mine it is not the thermocouple. I have replaced the thermocoupler and still have the problem. A thermoelectric valve is $42.25 at http://www.masterheaters.com/propane/
Im looking for a cheaper part. Any suggestions?

Heater won't stay lit after releasing yellow button

you need to replace the thermocouple at the burner tip it will be a copper line with a bulb in the flame tip with a copper tube leading back to the gas valve and it senses the flame and keeps the gas valve open
