Blue Flame Heating & Cooling - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

There could be a few different reasons why your Kingavon mobile calor gas heater is not producing heat despite igniting. Here are some potential causes to check:

1. Burner or pilot light: Check to make sure the burner and/or pilot light are not blocked by debris or dust. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean them off.
2. Gas supply: Make sure the gas supply is turned on and there is adequate gas pressure. Check to see if the regulator is working properly.
3. Thermocouple: The thermocouple is a safety device that shuts off the gas supply if the pilot light goes out. If it is malfunctioning, it may be preventing the gas from flowing properly. Try cleaning or replacing the thermocouple.
4. Gas valve: The gas valve controls the flow of gas to the burner. If it is faulty, it may not be allowing enough gas to flow through to produce heat. Try cleaning or replacing the gas valve.
5. Ignition system: If the ignition system is not working properly, the gas may ignite but not produce enough heat. Check to see if the spark electrode and ignition module are working properly.

If none of these solutions fix the problem, it may be best to contact a professional repair technician to diagnose and fix the issue.

Check the burner air ways are not blocked .

need more info --model number what gas is hooked up lp or natural ---regulator or gas valve proper install ---proper pressure to proper hook up

I dont see any of those units that are dual fuel. You cannot use NG and propane on the same unit without a conversion. You did not post the model number so it is hard to say. However it could be a bad regulator, wrong gas pressure etc. Working on heating units that use gas from LPG or NG is dangerous if you dont know what you are doing.

notify your local building dept

Yes it is sort of normal - as long as it isn't excessive. A small volume of gas/air has to be released before it reaches the ignition point and when it does reach the ignition point the flame spreads out from there at around 60 ft/sec or what is perceived to be a mild explosion (a real explosion travels at multiple miles per second). It can be said to be excessive when the POOF is startling and the case of the heater can be felt to swell. This wouldn't happen with a pilot light but a heater with spark ignition, if the spark is late or weak rather too much gas can be released before it ignites and it is time to call the service engineer.

I would get thegas valve regulator tested.

The flame should probably be controlled by an internal thermostat - we had a heater like that. We could select 2 or 4 burners but there was no way for us to turn them down and the control seemed to have no effect, though 15 or 20 minutes later the flame died down and the control knob began to have an effect. The system was wholly mechanical - like an old oven.

dont know depends if both are lp or natural gas

Nothing is wrong

no blue is actually the most efficient indication of flame

The flame sensor is either oxidized and needs cleaning or replacement.

Most likely the heaters thermocouple is defective or the entire gas valve.

call a gas fitter for the repair could be a freezing of the gas because of a blockage that is restricting gas flow gas is not a diy repair

That is a bad air/fuel mix... could be anything like clogged orifice or just needs to be adjusted. Check out your warranty support first... and keep in mind poorly burning gas appliance can be EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Consider putting in carbon gas detectors in addition to a liberal sprinkling of smoke detectors!! Be safe

Try cleaning the flame sensor.
