as it is gas , it will be best to replace the unit rather than try to fix yourself
gas is not in the diy domain so if you want to fix it take it to an accreditted gas shop for the repair
Re-assemble the knob in the high range of the warm position, about 180 degrees from the "OFF" position. Install the long prong of the spring inwards (away from you as you look at the knob). That prong has to go in between the metal stop bar (again, about 180 degrees from "OFF") and a ridge on the inner knob. You should be able to reinstall everything while the spring is loose in this position. The only time you'll feel spring tension is if you rotate the knob counterclockwise towards "HOT". You won't feel any spring tension as you rotate the know clockwise back towards "OFF".
I figured it out after a fresh start in about 5 minutes.
If it is out of warranty there is a fuse inside them that is covered with a light rubber coating, it is the common glass style fuse. That may be causing your issue assuming the battery is ok. The batteries die regularly too especially if it hasnt been charged and is sitting around.
If the lead acid rechargeable battery hasn't been charged for a while (like over the winter) it can lose its "memory". Try leaving it plugged in and charging for two or three days - it might fix the problem.
The fuse is located in the electronic panel Inside the unit.
If you change the fuse,disasemble the unit.
Check the water pump before replace fuse(use a needle for check
if the water pump impeller rotate freely)
Hi, you may want to check that you are depressing the temperature control knob on the front before turning for the pizzo ignition to work.
Hope this helps.
It's likley to be the rubber seal on regulator itself, the leak will be apparent as you screw the cannister into position. Coleman recommend returning the system to one of there authorised outlets for repairs. I have not seen parts for the regulator component sold seperately for DIY fitting.
Hi Neil, I think I've sat down for several hours trying to work out how best to fit the spring in so it actually works.It's really difficult and I suppose the factory has a machine that does it and I think it's possibly the hardest thing on the whole unit to get right. I've looked at Youtube and there isn't a specific fix to this problem. Firstly,holding the knob in your hand, the spring sits in the knob with the smallest prong of the spring placed in a "V" shape mold which is thicker plastic than the other protusions. I've tried the other suggestions from forums to no avail, so where I'm at now is I know that the thick jutty out bit on the side wall that's got metal over it and the longest prong of the spring, both get positioned in between the two plastic fins on the other round part ( not the knob) on the machine. I drilled a small hole in the outside wall of the knob closish ( I sometimes use words you won't find in a dictionary but you get the gist) to that thick protusion with the metal on it. That's for a small screw driver to keep the longer spring prong close the thick bit on the side wall. Using a finger to push/ lever the long prong around then stick the screw driver in to keep it there.Problem is that when I do this , the small prong of the spring comes out. Maybe if I silicone the small prong in place and leave it for a day ,that might secure it for the time needed or rig up something to hold the short prong in place. I just think that if I can get to that stage , I'll be able put the knob on / screw in the screw and pull out the screw driver then tighten up the final turns of the screw. This method might sound unorthodox but if it works, problem solved with only a small hole left in the knob

Hi, I replaced my battery but still same problem, it was the pump which had seized, pull it apart, greased it the siliconed it back together, no probs now.
Other similar questions on this site state that this is a problem with the water flow sensor. Although if that is the problem the flame would likely light for only about one second before going out. The water flow sensor fix discussed does not require any new parts. This YouTube video will talk you though it. Good luck.
It's your water flow sensor! The gray thing inside the unit connected to the chrome inlet line. Take it apart and clean it so the propeller spins again. I had the same problem and cleaned the sensor and it works great! Good luck.
There is a wire that runs to the connection of the impeller pump to the unit, my guess is that it is probably touching the side of the copper element and has melted. The other possibilities are that the tiny circuit board behind that connection has come off or the connector at the other end (near the main circuit board) has detached somehow. Hope this helps
I had the same exact thing happen after seven years. Probably the water flow sensor or flame detection thermocouple. Either will cause the gas valve to close with failure. Wrote to coleman to find parts. They are not available. But they offered me 25% discount on a new one. I took them up on it. Love the unit.
