I had same issue would blow out blue smoke on and off with the cover on . Ran good with the cover off . Checked all the lines made sure all tight and clean .
When I checked the fuel filter it had some resistance not very much so I sprayed it with carb cleaner and blew it out with compressed air and heater is working fine now . It open up about 50% more air flow which is what it needed with the vacuum fuel system .

flame sensor clean with steel wool usually right next to hsi should fix.

I have a manual for this,it is a pd f file,e mail me,and I will send it to you,[email protected]

There is a sensor in the tube that is a safety feture. it is a snap disc it maybe faulty, it is reading that the tube is to hot and shutting down, it cools and works again, check snap disc and also they need pleanty of fresh air.

ready heater runs for a minute then shuts off

There should be less than an1/8 of end play, replace the motor

In my experience, eye burning is a by product of burning even the best kero. And at 115,000, you are burning a lot.

If its a propane heater, probably is the oxygen sensor

Removed filter and blew out a tiny piece of debris. Didnt think that would be enough to do any harm. Put the filter back in and it started up and runs great now.

.003-.005

make sure its not hitting anything remove covers use wd 40 on the motor and rotate, if that dont work you will have to buy a new motor from granger,I hope this helps you

Hi, If the motor hums and trips breaker it is froze up, or shorted out. When they lock up like that, they draw a lot of amps which in turn trips the breaker.There is not much you can do but try and remove this motor and replace it. It may be worth it as I am sure the price tag on this heater is not cheap. You can try and get to the motor and see if maybe it is just stuck, as I have had this happen before and get it to work again. More then likely, it has died out on you. Please let me know what you find and keep me posted.

Sounds like a full services like its getting too much air,and blowing out the flame. Check your fuel filter,and add a new spark plug ,also change the vanes on the pump, thus aFuu service. these sould be performed every fall before .

Dave go to www.desatech.com you can down load and print off a copy of this manual, you will need Adolby 6.0.

check out the fuses getting blown out on the internal chip circuit board and also the overheating component on that same circuit boasd.the burnt component will look little bit extra blackish on its sides.

Checkfor an air leak somewhere in the system. Just the slightest little bit will cause this kind of problem. Possibly a loose fitting air line, or a crack in the burner head- Doesnt take much of a leak. Best way is to use soapy water and just look fr the bubbles. Watch out for the fan blades!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your question,
Sounds to me like you have a faulty fan in the unit, could be stuck, or might be a bad fan motor, try unplugging it first, find something to insert where the fan is and try spinning the blade, if its stuck or has alot of resistance, then you have a bad motor, if its free spinning, then try plugging it back in and see if it works, sometimes just by manually moving the motor shaft it frees it to work, if it still doesnt work, then you might look at replacing the fan motor, or replacing the unit, hope this helps ya,

I would try cleaning the flame sensor, use a Qtip slightly moist with ispropyl alcohol. it's a rubber boot about 2in. long faceing the combustion chamber with two wires.

The ignitor is bad, there are still parts available from reddyparts.com very simple to install.
