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.

Reddy-Heater will start then run about 10 seconds then stop.
The heater has a photocell that has to see the correct flame or it will cause the heater to turn the unit off.
I would suggest checking the the pump pressure and the output filter to make sure you are getting the correct amount of pump pressure to the nozzle.

Here is a link to the actual service manual.

I HAVE A 165,000 BTU HEATER THAT WILL RUN FINE FOR 10-15 MIN.AND THE RESET BUTTON POPS OUT. IF I RESET THE BUTTON ASAP, THE FAN MOTOR TURNS REAL SLOW AND HUMS. IS THAT A SIGN THAT THE MOTOR IS BAD?
More than possibly a bad fan motor! if the motor isnt blowing enough air, the element will get too hot, and make it pop off!

R55B Reddy Heater won't stay running. (PMS? menopause?)
Wow! Yours is the best description of a problem I have ever seen!!! Before I read the whole thing I figured you missed the pressure check as most people do but you nailed it. This is what I would try, Replace the air filter, the fuel filter, and the fuel (to make absolutely sure there is no water in the fuel) and readjust the fuel/air mixture. If that does not do it replace the cadmium cell they only cost pennies. Let me know how you make out and good luck.

PS, I have one of these so I am pretty familiar with the problems.

My best guess is that you are are connecting to your AC receptacle with an extention cord that is too small. The Reddy Heater contains a computer that will shut the unit off if it cannot pull enough amps from your service. The longer the cord the higher the loss from receptacle to unit. This loss can be reduced by increasing the size of your extention cord. I run a 100' 10/2 cord.

Hope this helps!

Our Kohler dtv shower turns off on its own as soon as it reaches the set temperature. This started happening about 3 weeks ago. It takes forever to get hot then slowly increases the temp and the last 3 degrees it quickly jumps up to set temp and shuts off. Absolutely driving me crazy.
