Question about HeatSafe ML250TPA Heater

Fluttering on 4th panel

When I turn my heater on, it seems to work fine. Then when it goes off automatically and comes back on, the 4th panel sputters and poofs, then all panels glow like it should. I took the noozle off and checked it out. It looked ok. No blockage. I took a small compressor on blew gently on the panels and the orfices. Tried again and still acts the same, when turning back on automaticlly. Bought last Spring, when the weather was getting warm. It acted the same, back then, but forgot about it. I did call either, ProComm or Habour Freight, but they didn't do me justice. Need help, Jim

It sounds like either the heater needs to be cleaned, but it sounds like you did that already. It also could be a crack in the panel. If it is a crack you will need to replace all the plaques because you cannot buy them separately. Sometime it can be expensive. I hope this helps!

Why is my 5 brick propanes sputtering on setting 2 also the brick that the fluttering is coming from does not burn as bright as the others.
Hello George, I would suggest you check the gas supply tubes after the gas control for any obstructions such as a spider web that might restrict the gas flow to the bricks.

It seems like you have a vacuum leak in a hose some where. Check under the hood for any rubber hoses that are dry-rotted, cracks, or sharp bends in any of them.

Loss of pressure on Kenmore 16322
I can tell you EXACTLY what is wrong. Remove the tank and open all valves to the grill. Reconnect the tank and turn it on just slightly. Relight the grill.
Ther is a safety device in the tank that needs to be reset. The only way to do it is removing the tank.

Why won't my Reddy Heater R55 run with the upper shell on? My Reddy Heater R55 will not run properly with the upper shell installed. Initially, the unit wasn't sparking, so I replaced the transformer ignition control and installed a new spark plug. That fixed the sparking issue. However, this new shutoff issue was discovered. I elected to replace the lint filter, intake filter, and output filter, as those pieces all looked pretty old. The filter end cover was cracked on the side and spitting out air, which I replaced. After the same issue continued and the unit shut off after a few minutes with the upper shell on, I replaced several other things. This included the photocell, nozzle and adapter, the adjusting screw, spring, steel ball, and the 1/8" ID air and fuel lines. After digging deeper into this, I noted the old 3/16" ID air line was leaking with a bit of soapy water, my dad's best trick for finding leaks. One thing to note, when I have the upper shell off, I have set the pressure to 3.4 PSI (per the side label), but when I put the upper shell on, the PSI drops to below 3.0 unless I hold the gauge still. When I hold it, the gauge reads 3.4 PSI. A couple of final things to note on this journey. 1) The fuel cap does not look to have a gasket but it seems to breathe properly with the hole in the center of the cap. 2) Before any issues started, I was running pump kerosene. Since then, I filled up with 10 gallons of jet fuel at a local airport and wondered if I got bad fuel from them. I plan to run through the last 7 gallons or so of jet fuel with the upper shell off and then try a couple of gallons of pump kerosene to see if that resolves the problem. Beyond all of my attempts, I am at a loss and could use some help. I've spent more on these repairs than the unit is worth but started the process in hopes of fixing the heater, as my wife's grandfather gave it to me a couple of years ago. In hindsight, I should have just bought a new unit, but here I am.
