My heaters fan will not
You are probably right, but there are 2 other possibilities. 1. the air pump rotor could be shattered, therefore binding the motor 2. the fan blade could possibly be binding (this happens mainly after storage periods....varmit nests)

Turn on wont ignite if
Must be starving for air then, check and make sure it is clean and unobstructed and air can get in around the finns to the flame. Is the blower fan running? I assume so if it lights.
Propane torpedo lights but doesnt
I'm confused. First you listed this as a propane torpedo heater. Second, it's a problem with and All Pro PK115 T Forced Air Kerosene Space Heater. And finally, you say "propane torpedo lights but doesn't stay lit."
Which is it? To really help you, I'll need the correct manufacturer's name & model number. And whether it's propane or kerosene fired?
Thanks.
As soon as i plug
toddbrewer1,
This is a classic All Pro, Reddy Heat, Master Heater, etc problem. They are all made by DESA International and similar in operation. They control fuel pressure by bleed air. As the air filter plugs up the pressure changes and that is why your unit runs with the top off. You allow more air to flow. You need to replace the air filter and set the pump pressure. I have a tip at

which is written for Reddy Heaters but as I said before they are all the same. It tells you how to complete the repair and where to get the parts.
Thanks for using FixYa and for the great rating.

Hi i have a master space heater model 150
These units have a air pump on the back of the fan motor. Has anyone messed with the settings? The pump usually runs off of 5 to 6 lbs. of pump pressure. This is what controls the fuel flow that is sprayed out of the fuel injector. This unit also should have a photo eye for flame out control. It is positioned near the ignitor looking though a hole in the combustion chamber. Make sure it is clean and looking in the hole. Make sure your ignitor is working also.

Hi Ivan,
These things can make ya gray in a hurry!!
The only thing I could tell you is that it seems as though the photo cell is not seeing the flame when the cover is down...When you lift the cover it will change the focus of the flame and that allows the photo cell either to see light from the outside or the flame changes enough to allow the cell to see the light...
Try changing the position of the cell and make sure that it has a direct opening to see the flame...
obviously this is not a "parts" issue at this point...it is a matter of getting the parts to do the job they need to do...the cell is a safety and if it does not see the fire it will shut things down...make sure it can see the fire...

Your problem is low pump pressure. This is most commonly due to a dirty exhaust air filter. This filter is located behind the plastic cover 0n the back of the pump. It will need to be replaced. It would be a good idea to get a filter kit which should include a fuel filter, air intake filter and lint filter. After installing the new filters you should notice a differance in the amount of heat that comes out as well. If the front of the heater doesn't glow orange after the heater runs for about 10 to 15 min. you may need to check the pump pressure. If the pressure specs. are not written on the side panel you may need to check operators manual or with the manufacturer for this information.
