how do i change the wick

Comment by eridon, posted on Oct 09, 2008

I have a Corona DK 23 kerosene heater. I changed the wick; it is perfectly smooth and goes up and down fine, but it is too low for the coil to light it. I disassembled the heater, down to the wick assembly to see if I did anything wrong when I inserted it. But it doesn't seem like I did.  There must be some kind of way to adjust this but I can't find it. If there is an adjustment screw, I don't know where it is.

Do yourself a favor and check out the Wick Shop at milesstair.com.
Lots of great info on Kerosene Heaters.

Sounds like a wick problem. If you search kerosene heater on ask.com there are a couple of links with wick replacement instructions. One thing they don't tell you is that you have to be carefull to leave enough slack between the adjustable part of the wick holder and the stationary part. It's a little tricky but be patient. Be sure you work on an empty heater to ease the frustration.

I have a kerosene heater that is being lite for the first time this year, and it has a heavy black smoke. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. How often do change the wick?

I have a Dyna Glo heater with a pined wick. I have disassembled the unit, cleaned the tank replaced the wick, but on testing the wick movement before complete reassembly..it will not budge when I turn the knob. It moves freely until I put it on the tube. I have tried several times with no change. I am certain it has to do with the pins but not sure what.
