Where can I find a thermocouple for a charmglow patio heater

Hi, All patio heaters are not the same, the thermocouple can be wired up in several different ways. If you have a branded BFX750 or BFX770 patio heater it is a simple task but for a Bluerhino heater you will need to ask the supplier for instructions.

From what you have described, it sounds like the Thermocouple is going bad and needs to be replaced. As far as not being able to relight the pilot right away is concerned ... that's a safety feature. The control has to reset itself, before you can relight it, if the pilot goes out on it's on. As it did in your care. It usually takes about 2 - 3 minutes for the control valve to reset itself.

As far as replacing the Thermocouple is concerned, it's somewhat of a specialty item, because of it being in a tall patio heater. However, armed with the Model # of your Charmglow Patio Heater, you can probably purchase one from the manufacturer, Chamglow.

Hope this helps.

sounds like thermocouple to me try national energy for the part

I have a Charmglow Patio Heater Model SRPH02, it needed a Thermocouple and searching the net was hard to find an ariginal part, but here it is, call 1-866-814-0585 $3.95 +6.00 shipping the original part.

You got to heat the thermocouple to get the gas valve to open ... I guess you know that ... You checked for spider web???

The yhernocoupler would snuff the pilot if bad. What ignites the overhead burners? and what regulates the overhead gas supply? Look into this. Too much gas will not light as easily as proper balance gas and air. Even more so in a tower type heater.. Turn the gas on low and the pilot should grab it. Good luck

Your thermocoupler seems at fault. The thermocoupler is that probe that sits in the pilot flame. It controls the main fuel valve. Make sure that probe is in the pilot flame, better at the tip of the flame and hold the button down for a minute or so after lighting the pilot. If pilot extinguishes, the coupler is faulty. If pilot stays on the heater should fire up when you let up on the pilot button.. Good luck

turn the knob on very slowly just enough to fire up the heater. once it is fired up slowly adjust it.

I'm having the exact same issue as of Nov 2010 with my Charmglow Patio Heater. Only used it a few times and once I get the pilot light lite, It will not migrate over to the burn section of the themostat. Any suggestions?

I'm told by Charmglow that the problem is the Thermocouple. iHowever,it took me several calls to get someone to admit this. They are sending a new thermocoupler. My heater is less than a year old and under warranty--but it's a shame things like this happen.

Originally I was told it could'nt be the thermocoupler as they normally last at least 5 years.

Try it--as it may solve your problem as well.
