Patio Heaters - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Could you use a compression fitting across the break? If you can take a piece of the tubing to local hardware/auto store for sizing to see how snug the brass ring is.

From the Troubleshooting Guide - Check the Obvious Turn on the gas and listen at the burner to see if you can hear the gas arriving. If the patio heater has an electronic ignition system make sure that there is a spark. If there is a spark but the heater will not light up, try using a lighter or burning spill to light the gas. Be ready for a flash over if you have been trying to light the gas for a while-there might be a small cloud of gas near the burner. Start at the Bottom The most likely reason that a gas heater will not work is that there is no gas. Take out the empty gas cylinder and replace it with a full one. Often you will feel that there is still gas in an empty cylinder but there is not enough to create the pressure needed to drive the gas burner. An empty cylinder will feel light. Check the Gas Regulator The gas regulator is the connection of the gas cylinder to the gas pipe that takes the gas up to the burner. Some regulators have a flip switch that prevents the valve in the top of the cylinder from being depressed-effectively an "off" switch. If there is such a switch, make sure that it is in the "on" position. Check the Gas Pipe Although it is most unlikely that the gas pipe can get blocked, remove the gas pipe from the regulator and from the gas inlet at the top of the heater. This pipe is pressure fitted and held in place by pipe clips. Blow air through the pipe to ensure that it is clear. Check the Burner The burner will be a very simple assembly. Take each part off in turn and check for any blockages. Also check that the burner apertures are set correctly. Beneath each burner is a small chamber in which air and gas are mixed. Make sure that the gas and air inlets are clear. If Your Heater has a Pilot Light If your heater has a pilot light, there is the possibility that the thermo couple has failed. The thermo couple is usually shaped like an inverted "v" and sits in the flame of the pilot light. The temperature acts on the thermocouple to keep the gas supply to the burner open. A good indication that the thermocouple has broken down is that the pilot light goes out when you try to turn the heater on. Thermo couples are readily available patio heater parts and usually available from stock. If you have carried out all the checks and the heater will still not light, you can repeat all the checks more slowly and carefully or take your heater to a specialist for a service.

That will be the fan and dry bearings on the motor. Spray with WD40 which although is a Water Displacement spray, it will do the job.

Generally speaking, fuses blow when too much current passes through them. Typically this happens when there is a short circuit some place. a connector or bare spot in a wire touching ground, a bad component on a circuit board, a bit of conductive debris on a circuit board all can cause shorts. If the fuse blows, it's doing its job to protect you from a problem you have yet to find.

Hello Armand, Thank you for the question. Here are some steps left by a previous customer. Hope this helps! 1. Removed the heater box from the wood frame. 2. Unplugged the wires to the switch. 3. Removed and replaced switch. 4. wiring diagram is white/red/black positions 3/2/1 on the switch. 5. Installed heater box into wood frame and secured it.

Either the temperature probe (at the pilot light) that signals the gas valve to open is defective or the gas valve is.

first check the outlet its plugged into to be sure there is actually power there, if not check your breaker box, it may have overloaded the circuit and popped the breaker. if all good there, check the unit for a fuse, which may be blown.

Greg... The lighting PROCESS involves HOLDING that "PRESS MODE" for QUITE a (long) WHILE... To clear the AIR out of your fuel line... I have seen ... Up to 5 minutes (although I believe that is excessive)... It is MOST LIKELY your troubles are procedural. (READ the manuals) ELSE Blue Rhino is the place to START ... or SEARCH locally on the internet... Try (they have manuals here... also) Blue Rhino Outdoor Gas Heaters Hope this helps Carnac the Magnificent

there has been some debate about it, in America they are seen as environmentally friendly, but in the UK they are seen as more carbon intensive

Does it matter if the thermostat is 120v or 250v?

Our heater cuts off after 2 mins or less and it shoe 90 on the temps diplay. Had it for a couple of years. It's been vacuum and clean and still the same results. I don't have the schematic or the owners manual..

I would read the customer reviews on this product , looks like nearly 70% of consumers are less than happy with this unit. 1500 watts is the units peak output, and drops to around 600 as it warms up. My hair blower puts out more power. 1500 watts is LESS than the output of a small element on your stove top. The real measure of heat is not watts, its BTUs and btus from gas are much cheaper than they are from electricity.

It may be getting too hot and activating the safety shut off. This may need a new board. I have never worked on one of these but it has to be fixable. Depending on the cost of the unit as to whether or not it is worth it.

Check to make sure that the elements are weird in the right place. See if there is any loose screws or metal on metal. The elements might be bad If wired wrong it may not be making a proper circuit. Check the pcb boards to see if it is touching metal on the bottom side of board. If you put a screw in the wrong spot it may be grounding something out. Check all wires for bare spots

Defective thermocouple. It is the metal tube that stays in the path of the pilot light flame.

The level sensor inside might be loose or fell off. Call the company.
