I want you to inspect the fuel tank, you are looking for water that may have entered while in storage. Condensation builds from storing them and it can duplicate what you are saying here. What I did was to empty the fuel in a clean five gallon bucket and observe, fuel is lighter than water so it floats to the top water sinks to the bottom. If water is present please try to dry out the tank the best you can by soaking it up with a rag. You can siphon off the fuel just be careful not to get the water. If no water is present check to see how the igniter is positioned in conjunction to the angled spray of atomized fuel.You may have to bend it in a little closer to the fuel.

Reddy Heater troubleshooting tips

Good luck!

Check the foam filters located in the back, their is also a primary air adjustment slot in the back try adjusting that each time you fire it to see if you can get it to stay on.

Can you see the fuel oil coming out of the nossle? If
not clean it. If it has a cad cell that could be bad or dirty, you might have to bypass it to see if that is the
problem.

Take air preassure from an air hose to turn the fan blades to loosen everything up. Time for afull service, like change the vanes in the pump, 3- filters fuel--2 air.

CAD flame sensor is bad, also check your air inlet line for the fuel mix, could be cracked.

Did you set the pump pressure to specs. If not, it won't ignite.

What did you set the air pump pressure at? This is critical on heaters with Hot Surface Technology. Setting the pump pressure is always the FIRST place to start troubleshooting on these heaters.

Here are some things that can prevent ignition even though there is fuel & glow:

1. wrong air pump pressure
2. the nozzle is restricted & distorted not allowing fuel to contact the glowing ignitor
3. the nozzle is worn. It should produce a cone of fog, not a spray.
4. there is water in the tank below the fuel.
