I have a 125t reddy heater the other day while it was running the digital read out started climbing rapidly and i smelled something like burnt wire coming from the heater. so i shut the heater down for a few minutes and then tried to restart it. now the ignitor light flashes and the heater doesn't work anymore. any help would be great thanks

Hi, have a look at this link, your model number is RH125AT, download the Manuel, I have no doubt it will tell you where it is :)

take off the top cover, theres an optical eye that needs cleaning some times. while u r there clean or replace the spark plug . if that doesnt do it check for spark from the coil . these r the only things that go bad on them

Read your manual....it will explain why and what happens when not done.Your machine ( which I have ) requires a 11" opening of fresh air in a garage. I use a fan sideways behind the machine and that seems to work without having to open the door, also helps circulate the heat at the ceiling.

If you have one of these 125T Models- RH125AT, RHD125AT, RL125AT, RM125AT, RE125AT, M125AT, PKHD125T, TKU125T, UKU125T, RD125T

There are 3 ways to order your part.

Sounds like a bad thermostat! (A common problem with this model) replace and it should work again!

Here is a link to a owner's manual for a RL125T ... http://12.153.20.74/manuals/110429-01C.pdf. You can find a wiring diagram on page 19. I hope this helps you.

1. Does the ignitor glow for 5 seconds when the unit is started?
2. What is the air pump pressure reading?

These are the starting points for troubleshooting a heater that has an ingntor.

Answer these questions and maybe someone can get you started.

Are the ignitors intact? In other words, does the element make a loop back to the ceramic portion. The purpose of the LED is to notify the user of a defective ignitor. The other possibility is a bad control board.

If the ignitor is intact, but no power coming from the board (ignitor only glows for 5 seconds), then the board is bad or the fuse is blown. You might want to test the photocell while you are at it.

You will need to locate the correct model numbers to order the correct parts. "170T" & "125T" are only part of the correct model designation.

Post back if you have further questions.
