SOURCE: my honeywell ct87K thermostat will not turn the heater on

On your thermostat - R is the power in terminal. Y is the cooling out. W is the heating out. (G is fan out). It does not matter which wire goes to R, the other should go to W - if no heat with a call, the thermostat is bad.

SOURCE: weedeater gas line

I ran a short piece of coathanger that I cut through the fuel line and used electrical tape (stretched tight) to tape it securely at the end and pushed it thru the hole. Then I removed the electrical tape and cut off the part of the hose that had been taped. You waste an inch or two of fuel line, but that's how I got mine thru. Sure hope this helps and best wishes.

SOURCE: Heater will not fire. On

Look on the wiring diagram inside the access panel or near the access panel. There should be notes on the bottom of the diagram telling you what the error codes mean (error codes are your flashing yellow lights). Let me know if the description on the wiring diagram is not obvious. -Mark

SOURCE: TV won't turn on red lite is on

In most cases the standby light might blink with different rapidity to indicate a fault relevant to the processor. It is possible that most of these indicate that there are errors in the processing section . Since there is a possible short or leak in the circuit the output driver section can take in huge current to trip the SMPS or from advice from the micro processor. Remove the power plugs and make sure that high voltage sections are discharged of the potential stored in capacitors. Look for visible signs of leak or of busted capacitors. Look for bulged capacitors or damaged components- burnt or busted. Use a multimeter to check the continuity or shorting in components, if so detach from circuit and test . If the voltage builds up and the set power ON and then shuts up then the suspected section must be checked in detail.

The processor must have the +5 voltage to the function properly , the +B and secondary voltages also must be checked to infer the fault. Trace with caution and in running through the signal path , circuit trail.

In some cases the fault can be related to faulty connections or poor soldering joints. Here are some tips to check out weak solder or heat related faults:

There is a high possibility that the components over a period of heating and cooling, tend to bring on a problem of dry soldering. So my advice is to check the set for some loose joints that have played on to give you these erratic shut downs or poor performance.

The best way to check for loose connections is to tap lightly when the set is powered on , If there is change while tapping then it seems that there are DRY solder joints. Remove main plug, the covers - with caution of high voltage, check for dry joints, use a good soldering iron to solder all suspected points.

Sometimes the fault occurs when the set warms up, if so you can simulate the heat using a hair dryer on the suspected areas, try with the power supply, distribution, Processor controller, driver controllers on the A/V related sections. Also the use a FREEZE-IT spray can simulate the components to cool and show up the fault.

Based on the above method you must be able to locate the area of fault and solder the sections. Sometimes large IC's- ones with more pins- tend to have drying in some pins and so cause faults related to the IC's protocol. Have a rough idea of looking into the areas to reduce the time of probing.


Check for tips to look into the SMPS unit with some of my tips:

My water heater pilot light won't stay lit

you need to clean the filters in the bottom of the water heater and have the thermal couple also check and see if there is a gas leak by spraying all visible gas lines if this doesent work then you more then likely need a new watter heater

George, you may have plenty of gas in your propane tank, but is the tank valve turned on and is the gas line shutoff valve at or near the heater turned on? If all of these are on, you'd better wait for you propane provider to service it.

I have the Mr. Heater Big Buddy and it has been giving me trouble lately. After two years of flawless operation, the unit constantly shuts down, after only a few minutes of operation. I use a 20lb cylinder...

tough one doug, easy way is buy a new gas valve under red knob.
harder to try to fix old one.
the stopage of your mister heater is caused by the pilot lite going out
so what is causing the pilot lite to go out? that is the problem.

inspect the pilot lite and its gas supply tube all the way up to the main gas valve under the red knob control valve. unscrew the pilot lite gas supply line from the main gas control valve and clean out interior of gas supply line all the way through the pilot lite orfice to the open air. It must be totally clean, .like new, including the pilot
orface, in order to work properly.the least obstruction might deflect
or restrict the gas flow & cause poor or no opperation
.
when you unscrew the pilot lite gas supply line from the main gas valve,with a flashlight, look inside the hole, that the gas supply line was removed from.
It may be full of gunk that has to be removed for gas to flow properly. try blowing out with compressed air with a straw tipped blow gun. you may need carburator cleaner to loosen the gunk ,if gunk is present.
WARNING:::
If you use carb. cleaner, it burns like gasoline, so make sure any carb cleaner is blowed of with compressed air or blotted up with facial tissue & totally dried up & removed before firing up mr heater, in order not to catch mr. heater on fire.

If a lot of gunk is in the outlet of the main gas supply valve,you will
need a pocket screwdriver,a paper clip and maybe a sewing needle in order to pick out the crud.
It must be totally clean inside, like new, in order to have a chance at working.
It may still not work if more crud is inside the main gas control valve where you can not get to clean it out.

if you reach the point where you decide to buy a new main gas control valve, first try disassembling your old main gas control valve and cleaning it out,like rebuilding a carb, and reassembling it.
If this works,you dont need to buy a new main gas control valve
and have saved 30.00 plus 12.95 shipping
if it dont work,all it cost you was time & angervation.and you still need to buy a new main gas control valve.

The gas heater will not turn off. I have removed

disconnect one wire from the gas valve if the flame quits it is a thromostat problem
if not try tapping the gas valve if the flame wont go out then the valve is stuck and must be replaced if the flame goes out after you tap on it the valve still needs to be replaced
