you need to clean the little cone type filter in the unit itself.its on the right side of the heater and is inside the plate held in by 2 phillips screws.pull it out and clean it, it doesnt take much to stop the flow of k1 .It gets gummed up, Tom in maine

Google up toyotomiusa and use their dealer locator . Once you have found a regional distributor contact them and they will put you in touch with a local dealer. Your local dealer will be able to get you anything Toyo has.

Good luck,

You may have something as simple as a blocked fuel nozzle. Take a paper clip and stick about 2 inches of it down the fuel nozzle into the burner. This will clear any carbon on the tip. While you are at it remove the flame sensor. That's the white wire going into the burner. Wipe it off and install it pointing down. This could got you going. Bottom line however, the heater is so old Toyo is no longer supporting it. No electrical parts as well as some other stuff. It's time to up grade.

Good luck,

EE2 usually has to do with fuel flow but could also be a dirty flame rod which can be cleaned with some steelwool. You should check your filter and also the strainer in the heater. Have something to direct the kerosene that will come out of the strainer into a bowl or something or just have some rags or paper towels ready. You can find the owners manual at www.toyostove.com.

You can check the igniter by touching the cover over the igniter. It should be warm not long after you start the heater. If you have a clamp on type ammeter you can clamp around just one of the igniter wires and you should see somewhere in the range of 2 - 4 amps. No current means your igniter or the ciruit board isn't working. You can check the 2 pins where the igniter connects with a volt meter and should get 120VAC when the heater is trying to light.
IF THERE IS A LOT OF UNBURNED KEROSENE IN YOUR BURNER YOU SHOULD TRY TO DRY IT UP WITH PAPERTOWELS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

Ken,

Your grandma may have the room sensor low on the wall. Trying to heat the last foot or so of the room may not be necessary. Even here in Alaska with a 1000 sq ft house I only use 2.1 gallons a day. 100 gallons a month is about 3 gallons a day, that sounds like a lot. Older folks sometimes like it hotter than most. 70 degrees is hot, anything above that will use a lot of fuel.

I called a guy who used to work for Cliff's Envirotherm heating and asked him - he solved the problem over the phone. I did as he instructed and found the fire pot full of oil. He asked me if the stove had recently been serviced and when I said yes he told me to open it - check the firepot and call him back. He was correct the fire pot was full of oil. He informed me that if the burner mat isn't installed correctly the oil pools. He is coming out to my place tomorrow to correct the burner mat. Thank you for your return e-mail.

I would check the Tip sensor - the connection may be loose, making the heater shut off thinking it's averting a dangerous condition

This is probably a little late but I'm assuming you have an outside tank. When you had it refilled it may have stirred up the gunk in the bottom of the tank. You should check your filter at the tank if you have one. You should also check the strainer in the fuel sump in the heater that is located on the right side of the heater where the fuel reset is. You should shut the valve at the tank before you do this and be prepared to catch or soak up any kerosene that will come out. The strainer is located behind a small plate with 2 screws holding it on.

Take a look at the back of your unit to make sure it is connected completely to the flue pipe. After that look at the igniter guide gasket, it may have separated. It is like a donut with a cut in it. Smash it back together and you are on your way. While you are in there you could look at the heat exchanger to make sure it has no cracks.

hello. This problem is a fire hazard. Phone your gas provider and tell them to send out a technician as it appears that your gas pressure is too high. This is a free service. Regards, Joe

Could be water in your barrel. Did you replace the filter? It can freeze and block the fuel flow. Check the strainer in the fuel sump. Is your code EE 6 or EE 2. Depending on the code you may need to clean the flame rod.

There are some orings in the exhaust that might need replacing. Do you have a parts breakdown for the heater? I repair monitor and toyostove heaters and can get you the gaskets. I'm in NC. You can contact me at [email protected]

EE 2 usually has to do with the fuel. Does the heater make a loud ticking or thumping sound? That's the sound the fuel pump makes when its not getting any fuel. Check your filter, check the strainer in the fuel sump. Depending on how cold it is any water in the fuel line could be frozen blocking the fuel flow. You might also check the flame rod for soot. It can be cleaned with some steel wool.([email protected])

EE 6 usually indicates a fuel problem. You said you just moved the heater. If the fuel pump is making a loud ticking sound it means it isn't getting any fuel. Try pressing the fuel reset located on the lower right side of the heater. There is a float in the fuel sump that can get latched up so that it will not let any fuel into the sump if the heater is moved or jarred or the sump gets too much fuel in it. You say you have fuel, do you mean in your barrel or is it coming out the fuel line behind your heater? It is possible you have an air bubble in your fuel line that you need to get out. Hope this helps.

fuel leaks are fire hazards and shold be corrected before further use.

Tim,

I have been working on Toyo's for 14 years now. During this time I have never seen a flame rod that was bad except ones that people have broken themselves. The rod is just a piece of heavy wire that is insulated against the pot. It is almost impossible to mess it up. Now, that being said, you can have a problem with the flame rod being dirty or sooted. Since your stove is so new I would look at the fuel system. If it is clean I would go after the burner mat. There have been mats lately on new stoves that have caused them to soot up. When this happens the flame rod gets covered with soot and gives the EE2 message. A new stove that has a burner mat problem would be covered by the warranty. Bad fuel that causes a problem will not be covered. The other thing that is not covered is a stove that has had an iced up the exhaust pipe. A good dealer should be able to help you get the stove going and explain the warranty.

First- do you have enough fuel.
Does the unit ignite or not
More info would help me
Total Toyo

An EE 2 message can mean 2 things
Ignition never happened or unit did not sense flame
You should see the Igniter glow through the peep window during
pre-heat, easy er to see with front cover off.
If you do see a glow and flame happens, but unit still errors out.
Try to clean flame rod sensor.
Unplug unit.
Single white wire going to burner pot. (pull straight down)
2 screws hold a plate
Turn sensor to 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock position
pull sensor out easily
Clean sensor with sandpaper- down to shiny metal
Good Luck
