Kozy World propane wall heater

I have a Kozy World propane wall heater. There are 5 bricks in the heater. When I light it only 3 glow bright orange. The others have the blue flame flowing over the surface of them. I tried blowing the bricks out with an air compressor. It looks like it helped one of them slightly.

The ceramic "bricks" need to be heated evenly. Since 3 are good, I would have to assume the other two have a restriction. Maybe a spider in the orifices, If  you can access the "jet" where gas comes out, try using a paper clip or something similar to clear any blockage. If that wont do it, pull the burner, remove each orifice and clear. Good Luck

Testimonial: "Thank you very much for the info. There was some trash around the opening of the 2 jets. I cleaned them out with a tip cleaner and now it works fine."

Kozy world d104 yellow instead of blue

That's no good. That's an indication that there's not enough air or too much gas going in the combustion mixture. Blue flame with orange tip is ok, but not yellow. For complete combustion, you need10 cubic feet of air for every cubic feet of gas. The pressure at the manifold for natural gas is 3.5 w.c (inches of water column), and propane is (LP gas) is 11"w.c. This has to be checked with a manometer.

I have three Kozy World wall heaters. Two work just fine - the bricks turn red after the heater has been on for a while. The third one always burns blue and the flames 'lick' the top of the inside of the...

Yes, it sounds like the third heater has a Control Valve problem. It's allowing more gas into the system than what it's supposed too. Have you tried turning the flames down to a lower setting? If so, did it lower the flame height? How old is this heater and is cleaned and serviced at least annually? Are you using Natural Gas or Propane?

Please get back to me with the answers to the above questions and I may can help you.

Thanks,
Rich

My flame is above the guard on the heater in the middle flame. How do I adjust the flame to be lower?

this is happening because the bricks need cleaning. I imagine the flame is burning blue instead of glowing red in the middle brick. Contact your local propane or natural gas dealer about getting the heater cleaned. This type of problem causes a huge loss of efficiency and could be dangerous.

Can not get the bricks to light on my empire corcho

I have the same htr in Mich. & have worked on gas htrs.for many years.
Does the flame go out when you let go of the button to lite it?
If it does, then the thermocouple is bad.

If the flame stays on, but goes out when you turn the dial,
the gas regulator is bad.

Probably a little more expensive to buy new then to fix it.

Michael.
