Water leaking inside Coleman How Water on Demand. I was having the problem where the flame wouldn't stay lit. Most suggestions pointed towards the water flow sensor. This YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=3Z-3m4Ljwiw) was very helpful. Now that I have it all back together water is leaking from the exit side of the water flow sensor. I have the nut tightened all the way and still there is some play in that connection. Is there suppose to be a gasket in there that I might have lost when blowing compressed air through the water flow sensor. Looking for suggestions on how to fix this water leak.

SOURCE: Flames shooting up from back of Coleman stove.

Buy a new one. do not attempt to use this one again. There could be a pin hole in the propane lines or just a small crack. If you can hear it then there's a problem.

However if you really want to fix this one try putting water on the propane lines and then putting on a new tank and opening the valve. DO NOT LIGHT THE STOVE. where there are bubbles there is your leak. When you find it seal it with a Flame retardent sealent or clamp the line. Also I believe Lowe's sells parts that may work. just find out which line is leaking and replace the whole line.

I highly recommend just buying a new one and destroying the old one. DO NOT just throw it away please. Some one out there will grab it and try and use it. They will find out the hard way and maybe get hurt badly themselves or hurt someone else. Just imagine the guy who grabs it and goes camping with his family. Him and his son start it up. the son is right next to the unit. The guy fires it up and boom the son gets burned. Is it just me or would you feel bad if you knew this guy. I have seen it first hand. trust me it sucks. A buddy of mine did this and his son was in hospital for 3 days. he said he will never do that again.

So for safety sake please just buy the new one. don't take unnessecary risks if you don't have too.

SOURCE: We done' use our coleman hot water on demand

I had a similar problem and was able to unscrew the screen at the end of the intake hose and manually move the pump propellor with a long nail which loosened it and it works fine now. I think it had seized with calcium deposit even though I had cleaned it as instructed.

SOURCE: when I fill the patable water tank it leaks on the inside of the trailer

If it leaks while filling it is likely any of the several fittings or it may be the 3 port check valve attached to the incomming water line. These are routinely installed backward. The idea is that when hooked to an external water supply the water goes only to the faucet and when using the tank, water can only go from the tank to the faucet. You cannot be hooked to external water and use the tank.

Any cracks in the tank should be obvious.

Use teflon plumbers tape on all screw fittings or will leak for sure. Hose clamps are also a necessity.

My Coleman hot water on demand only stays lit for about a minute and goes out. I can't figure out why? Please help it's only a couple month old and the flame is burning blue if that matters.

Question edited for clarity.

Those boilers only work if they sense water flow. Try opening the tap fully and see if it will stay alight. Then after a 5 minutes, see if you can reduce the flow, which will increase the temperature of the water.

A blue flame is good.

Don't forget if it is only a couple of months old, it is under warranty, call the seller, Coleman or the installer.

Replaced thermalcouple and pilot light still won't stay lit

If the pilot light won't stay lit and the thermocouple is okay, then the thermostatic control valve may be defective. Replacement of this part should be performed by a trained gas technician. ... If your gas water heater doesn't stay lit, you may have a defective thermocouple.

When i put propane cylinder in to system propane leaks inside around ignighter what could it be

It's likley to be the rubber seal on regulator itself, the leak will be apparent as you screw the cannister into position. Coleman recommend returning the system to one of there authorised outlets for repairs. I have not seen parts for the regulator component sold seperately for DIY fitting.

Have had my coleman for 4 years it was working well but now it ignites and then shuts off straight away, there is good gas and water pressure. Can anyone help

I had the same exact thing happen after seven years. Probably the water flow sensor or flame detection thermocouple. Either will cause the gas valve to close with failure. Wrote to coleman to find parts. They are not available. But they offered me 25% discount on a new one. I took them up on it. Love the unit.

Coleman model# 2430-730

It is an old one, Propane? or gasoline/camp stove fuel?

If propane and will not remain lit- replace the thremocouple- that thing beside the pilot flame that does not seem to do anything- it holds the gas valve open when flame is present.

If gasoline/camp stove fuel and will not light or does not stay lit- clean the "generator" which is under the asbestos shell. It is not even acknowledged by Coleman anymore.

Water pump and ignitor do not work

took coleman away for weekend wouldn't work. Very dissapointed, was cold would have loved a hot shower. Had charged battery, when I went to start it. It wouldn't go, light come up as battery low tried it on car charger still no luck. Got home and looked up this site told me to try taking filter off pump and putting a long nail inside to turn pump to make sure it wasn't seized. And guess what every thing works well thank god, water temp was dodgy as well but now all good. Thanks to people that do reply to these sites, it has saved me a lot of money and frustration.

Wont stay lit

go to this site www dot desatech dot com. Here you'll find parts to repair your heater. a propane heater uses a millivolt generator to sense the flame. along it's cappilary are two push on spde connectors. these connect to the high limit temperature sensor which is mounted on the flame backplate of your heater. to see if it is the high limit shutting down your heater, jumper across the two spade connectors. if the heater stays on, this is your problem. if the flame still goes out, then the millivolt generator is shot.
