Hello, this is Ava with Think Crucial.

To change the wick filters of your humidifier:

1. Turn off the unit and unplug it from the wall outlet
2. Remove the tank for the housing.
3. Locate the 3 lock tabs in the base of the unit. Turn them clockwise until the base of the tab lines up with the indentions in the base and lift off the housing.
4. Locate and turn the lock tab clockwise on the base holding the wick fram. Remove the wick frame and set it aside.
5. Remove the old wick by pulling the bottom of the wick out of the frame first and discard.
6. Insert the new wick top first. Ensure wick is in between the tabs at the top of the wick frame then slide the bottom part of the wick into the fram, making sure not to crush the bottom corners of the wick.
7. Reassemble the unit and refill the water tank if necessary.
8. Turn the unit back on and resume operation.

It possibly could, if the wick is not installed properly. Also, the height mechanism (the control knob and the gears) may have lost it's tension and will need to replaced.

However, without knowing what brand/manufacturer and model number kerosene heater you have, there's not much more I can tell you.

The person who installed the wick did it improperly. The tails should be down in the tank.

Try tilting the heater so the flame extinguisher snuffs it out. Please do this out side as it really does stink when it is shut off this way. After it cools please take it apart and check the wick you have a problem in your heater and something is bound up in the wick assembly. Take your time and do this outside as well because it is a messy job and kerosene stinks. Your wick should turn up and down with little to no resistance.

If this is the plain ol' kerosene lantern with a knob to raise/lower the wick, it's about easiest to replace it from the bottom. Take the top off the lamp and crank the wick as far down as it will go, then gently pull it out. The new wick should slide in easily (from below) and as you push it in turn the knob so that when the wick reaches the little wheel attached to the knob it'll pick it up.

If you allowed the fuel to run out then the wick is probably ruined, you will have to replace it.
