Clarification Request

WE need to know a little more. Does your blower motor work? How about the flue pipe on the outside of your house? Is the flue pipe clear of ice or any obstruction?

-   I turned the unit off and then back on after a couple of hours. Everything worked well. Sometime during the night the unit shut itself off again.
So yes, the blower does work, the vent pipe is clear of obstructions and ice. There is propane. power is good. Ignitor works. ?? I can't think of anything else. Let me know if you need more info. I'll track it down. Thanks. -   Guest

If your unit starts and runs for any length of time before quitting you may have a problem with the circulating fan blades. They need to be spotlessly clean. The filter is easy to get to, however the blades are not. Taking the circulating fan apart is a pain. A long brush that can get into the blades would work. You can blow them out with air but that gets everywhere. If the whole inside of the unit is linted over, all that stuff has to go. Be sure the lovers in the front of the stove are all open.

Good luck,
