Coleman dgaa furnace lights then goes out

If your talking about taking out the flame proving rod and cleaning it with sand paper or abrasive cloth and that didnt work, you may have a bad flame proving rod and it needs replaced. If the flame sensor is good, it could be the board not keeping the call to the gas valve, the gas valve not keeping the call, or your thermostat not keeping the call. Hope this helps narrow it down.

Stats ignights and goes out

Other similar questions on this site state that this is a problem with the water flow sensor. Although if that is the problem the flame would likely light for only about one second before going out. The water flow sensor fix discussed does not require any new parts. This YouTube video will talk you though it. Good luck.

When I light my Coleman Catalytic Heater, it burns

The wick isnt drawing up any fuel? Does this heater have a primer?

Could the wick be sitting above the fuel inside the tank?

You might just try changing wicks and restarting.

Coleman patio heater 5040A770

These heaters are not designed to be operated below 40 degrees F. If the heater is used below 40 and if you have a gas tank containing less than 25%, the unit will not operate for long and will start going out. If the heater all of a sudden goes out without showing any flickering or pulsations, you have a bad gas valve, there is no thermocouple on this model. Fill your tank and try the heater again. If it continues, give Coleman a call at 800-835-3278.
