All-Pro Forced Air Kerosene Space Heater SPC-K75 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

If it is electric then you need to check resistors out of circuit. Some times they say 100R (ohms) but out of circuit they measure 60R due to long usage.

However check thermostat as it might be carbon on it causing dirty contacts

Hope this helps you find what you need.

Yes, I would say, it's possible. Try emptying the tank and see if you hear any ratting inside the tank, when you shake it. Once the pressure is off the tank, any debris may fall back into the tank.

You may also want to check the fuel filter for dirt and debris, as well as the air intake filter.
Also, there may be air in the lines.

In checking the Owners Manual for your model heater, there's not much there, as far as Trouble Shooting is concerned. Never the less, I am providing a link to it, You can download and print it for future reference, if you so desire.

I looked in the manual-- and under operating instructions it says:

Use only Kerosene or #1 fuel oil. Never use gasoline,
naphtha, paint thinner, alcohol or other fuels of any kind.

What would you say Diesel fuel is?
