SOURCE: glo warm heater

Hi,
I,d suggest that you have either a case seal Damaged, allowing air into the casing.
Also possible fault may lie within the Flue air pressure Valve/Switch If applicable.
The heater/Boiler will have certain conditions to meet.
The Fan/flue switch ( Pressure switch. Will be designed to speed up the fan, before firing the main Burner.
As for the Noises, i,d suggest that the boiler is whats commonly known or reffered to As Kettling. Which usually indicates Overheating. This would cause the main-burner to distinguish as a fail safe.

Recommendations:- De-scale the heater, with a commercial descaler. Thoroughly flush the System. Then re-fill with required Amount Of Commisioning Fluid. i.e Fernox Or Sentinel et,c.

Also get the Fan/flue checked out for correct running speeds.

Mike @ compurepair.

SOURCE: natural gas conversion

I have a similar problem. But, I want to convert it to propane. I have a 5 burner vent free modelMN300HPA. If your are handy. I would consider shipping you the parts inside mine to install in yours. These parts are very simple to remove after removing the access panels. I have taken mine out already. Called procom then to no less find out the propane parts needed are not sold by them. I think only the injectors (5) the main valve (regulator) and the pilot are the only things need to change. When taking out the pilot this is easly done, By removing the nut on the supply line. And then bending back the retaining tabs to then slide back the pilot then it comes out of the assembly bracket. Injectors are simply removed. Regulator located at the bottom is a simple remove. The only other item that might be questionable would be the valve that selects the amount of burners you would like to operate. And I would think this would be the same and not need removing. Let me know if I can help. I would like to get mine converted to propane. Thanks Tom

SOURCE: can I convert my natural gas glo-warm wall heater

Converting gas appliances normally entails the replacement of a jet that controls the flow of gas and in most cases, the manufacturer will (or will not) have replacement jets available. If they do, it should not be costly or difficult since they are often only screwed on.

SOURCE: my natural gas glo warm

Julie, the problem you're having with your DESA, Gas Glo Warm heater may be the result of a clogged Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) which is part of the pilot. I have included a link on how to clean the pilot and the ODS, as well as the burner, that you can download and print for future reference.

Can i convert jandy lxi heater 400k btu propane gas to natural gas ?

Any propane heater can be converted to natural gas and vice versa all you need is the correct regulator and orifices and possably a change to the exhaust. The problem is it is not something your average handyman should do. When dealing with gas or fumes it is always best to use a certified and insured repair man who has the proper test equiptment to check for leaks. Small leaks will not bubble with the "dish soap test" so you should always err on the side of caution.

Heater set-up is ok with water flow confirmed the heater will try to light up (can hear clicking sound) then a significant flame will come from the heater forcing the front cover off. Have not started...

Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.


The jets nearest to the ignitor are clogged causing a large ignition flame roll-out. You can try to fix this by unthreading them from the manifold and cleaning out all the orifices. Once done your unit should return to lighting normally.


If this answer does not fix your problem, please comment with additional details prior to rating the answer. You may also contact me thru our website at www.arrowpools.net. Positive feedback is appreciated once your problem is solved!
