Hello, my gas heater stops working after turning on for a while please help. Thank you, Nem

Hi,

if your heater is gas based, please check that the gas supply is turned on. Also, I would reach out the manufacturer if the above information does not completely stop the error. Thank you.

check to see if gas is on if ok check ignitor at start up

Hello Anita:

Your refrigerator has a freon that we call R-717 which is amonia. You have to heat the amonia to have refrigeration. using the 12 volt side will cause power drain on batteries. If you had to close the gas valve most of the way down this is telling me that he gas pressure regulator went bad. The 220 volt heater is still working that is why this is working. change the regulator and you should go back to gas for operation. If the helps give me a rating please. thank you.

Hi, i've found out that the flame sensor (rod that sits within the flame) is fouled with carbon on the surface. I believe this shields the rod from proper heat detection and the sensor reports that there is no flame and to shut off the gas valve to avoid explosion. Once you pull out the rod and cleaned it with a wire brush, it should fix the problem whatsoever.

The igniter is waiting for gas to get to it. if you did not bread the air out of the gas line it will take some time for the gas to get there.

Did someone possibly turn the control knob from ON position to the Pilot Position. If that's the case, the burner won't come on.

Another thing that might cause your problem is low gas pressure. If you have LP Gas, the regulator on the gas tank may be frozen or the tank may be almost empty.. This happens frequently when temperatures remain well below freezing. To test this theory, soak a bath towel in hot water, ring it out and quickly place it around the LP tank's regulator. This will thaw the regulator and allow gas to flow smoothly to your heater. Remove the wet towel from the regulator once it has thawed.

If the freezing continues to occur, wrap insulation around and inside the bonnet of the tank. You may also want to contact your propane provider about this. As they may need to add some ethanol to your tank.

Hello PLEASE call your gas utillity and report a smell AT ONCE!They will look at it for free!
