Problem for Coleman (5040B750) Patio Heater

Tip over switch




By NEfan on Dec 02, 2007

" "
The built-in tip over switch cuts in automatically when the unit is tilted 30 degrees. if this was activated while moving, how do we re-set it in order to use the heater now

might seem like an unusual way to reset a switch but try gently banging the base on a flat object. a tilt switch has to be mounted on a pivot of some sorts. it is probably a mercury switch. take the base apart and see if the pivoting switch is free to move.
