Charmglow gas patio heater




By dawnk on Mar 16, 2008

" "
our patio heater is a little over a year old. It will not turn on. when you push the ignition switch you get a loud ticking sound, nothing happens.

the gas cannister is full and is operational, as it works on the grill.

thanks for any help.

Once I tried to turn the knob to low the pilot went out. I pressed the know for well over a minute and repated it 5 or so times. The propane tank is full.

The ticking noise is the ignigtor. If the gas tank is full, and the regulator is on, then try lighting with a match or fire of some sort. Be careful of the spark-er! If it lights, then the spark needs to be adjusted so it catches the gas better. If it doesn't lite, then the hole for the pilot is plugged. An outside heater is common for a spider or other creature to make this his home. You need to clean it out. Compressed air even another flame may do it. if not It needs to be removed and cleaned out. If you can see the little hole, trey poking a thin piece of wire into it, it may get it.
