First check the gas, connect the regulator to the cylinder but unclip the hose and do not light the heater. Turn the gas on for a second to see if the regulator is working OK. Next make sure there are no blockages in the pipes up to the burner. If all clear then vent the pipes to clear all air. If still not getting any gas the problem could be a faulty tilt switch cutting the gas supply or a worn thermocouple. Short out the tilt switch to test and if not fixed then change the thermocouple.

MY ENDERS PATIO HEATER i CAN GET TO PILOT ON, BUT WHEN i TURN THE VALVE TO TURN IT ON, IT DOESN'T TURN ON

Most likely cause will be a worn thermocouple, these can last from 1 year up to 5 years but will at some point need replacing. Always check for leaks when making any repairs, found this site very helpful patio heater problem solving.

Have lost the control turn knobs for the ignition and heat settings

Gas control knobs can be very specific to the patio heater. Best to go for a universal or adjustable control knob, these have a grub screw that can be tighten to get a good fit, found this specialist patio heater company very helpful.
