Model # r-15 wall propane heater..empire corcho
i get the pilot light to light but when i try to get 1 brick or 2 bricks or all 3 bricks to light ...the flame goes out i cleaned the bricks with air cleaner but to no change????
i think it might be the part the knob is on that switches it from 1 to 2 to 3 bricks not sure what it is called maybe a regulator of some sort.... anyone have ever had this happen and what can be done thanks bill
I have the same htr in Mich. & have worked on gas htrs.for many years.
Does the flame go out when you let go of the button to lite it?
If it does, then the thermocouple is bad.
If the flame stays on, but goes out when you turn the dial,
the gas regulator is bad.
Probably a little more expensive to buy new then to fix it.

Have the same problem. Took a piece of sandpaper and cleaned the thermocouple seemed to help a little. Also try taking a broom straw and clean gas jet for the pilot.
this happen to me and it was the gas regulator thats between heater and propane tank enough gas was getting by for pilot lite to stay lit but when i turn the knob to get 3 bricks going it wood go out and the only time this wood happen is when it was very cold outside the regulator was freezing up so when it gets real cold i put a drop lite next to regulator and that keeps it from freezing up
i have a 5 brick gas heater, it will only burn on all 5 bricks it suppost to burn 1 2 3 4 or 5 any ideas.
