I need to get replacement parts for my laser 73 stove and no one around seems to carry them? Any ideas?

Sounds like it needs an urgent service contact agent

You did not say, but I would guess you have a Laser 56 heater. If so, you need to have the combustion chamber overhauled. The burner mat has lifted and the ring will need to be replaced. Cost will be around $150 or so. It's time, 13 years is a long time ago.

No ignition. Check the igniter by feeling around the two red wires when you try to start the stove. They will get very hot so be careful. If the igniter gets hot you have a fuel problem. No fuel, low fuel or dirty filter.

Keep us posted,

I have a Toyo laser 73 stove that is currently vented under a patio roof. Can I vent it up thru the overhang on my roof? Is there a kit for this?

Alaska Cat,

No this is not right. You can remove the air hose for a short time until you can get another part, i.e., new flue pipe. The stove tech should have told you he would be back with a new part. As far as the igniter is concerned it could be replaced without removing the heater. Now, if you had flooded the unit trying to start it many times your mechanic might have had to take the unit out just to be able to clean it completely.

Stay warm,

G M,

Your stove does need to be overhauled. The vibrations are the blower exhaust wheel being out of balance due to carbon build up. If it has been vibrating for a long time you will need to replace the motor. The L73 motor bearings are hard to get off without either bending the shaft or breaking the rev sensor. The burner pot will be another part that may need changing. It may have a warped or cracked bottom. If this is so it needs to be replaced with a new one. The burner ring will have to be replaced as will the mat. Several gaskets will need to be on hand in case you break them. All toll the above will run around $400 or so. It's well worth it considering a new one is $1750 or so. The first thing you need; though, is a service manual. Get in touch with your local dealer and get one. It will make your repair much easier.

How long has it been since you've cleaned your stove? If it's been a while the flame sensor (the part with the metal rod) may be building up a chain of carbon blocking the igniter from igniting the flame. A temp fix is to jiggle the sssensor but what is needed is a cleaning. Also you may need a new burner ring. That solved my problem last winter.

This site says there is a problem with the blower motor assembly.

A manual can be found online by googling Toyostove 73 and owners manual or manual. I use it often. It is at on the rural energy website.
