Dynaglo Kerosene heater Model # RMC95C. The heater was used last April, We went to use it yesterday and we can't get it to start. Could it be the wick? Or Does it need the batteries in it to operate?

Torpedo Kerosene Heater repair HOW they work

no you can not

Most hardware stores and home centers carry wicks for kerosene heaters, in season. Since you know your model number, it won't be hard to find one there.

Here's a link to an Owners Manual for a Duro Heat unit that is very, very similar to your DynaGlo RMC95C-4. I feel pretty confident that this will help you. After you download and print it compare it closely to your heater. http://www.yourheater.com/DH1010-1%20Manual.pdf

Hope this helps you.

these are not automatic heaters, they are manual on and off units...

Hi i would turn it off , sooting means it is unsafe to use you will need a service then you will be able to sort the problem , but call the gas company and get this fixed

it souds like it is starveing for air, I would check all of the filters and the air line that runs to the combustion nozzle as it may have a crack or break in it. The nozzle does tend to get pretty hot and the lines get brittle after a while.

During start up, a hot surface ignitor glows brightley to ignite kerosene, check to see if it is broken
