SOLVED! Heater keeps shutting off


Recommended Posts

SOLVED!

This subject must have been covered, but the search bar is not easy!

Went camping this past weekend and the heater worked for one day. After that, I could restart the thermostat, then heater would blow heat for less than a minute before shutting off. Had plenty of propane and it was plenty cold. I was near sea level too. Anyone know what's up and how to fix it?

Very easy once you know what and where the sail switch is. Mine was stuffed with dog fur (by-product of my Akita).

Dave,

Are you sure it produced heat?  If the blower shuts off 20 secs after startup with no heat it's most likely the sail switch.  If the igniter lights and you feel heat and then shuts off, it's another problem.  That's my experience.  The sail switch, if that's the problem, is fairly simple to remove from outside the trailer and see if it's gummed up with lint, etc.  Oliver service was very helpful with instructions.  Best of luck :)

Hi, me again. Maybe it's not solved. Worked once, stalled again. Opened it up and cleaned it again, but saw no debris. It worked again...once. It would intermittantly work if I reset the thermostat, but continues to fail. Any ideas on what to do with this problem?

Shut off both propane tanks. Wait a few seconds. Then SLOWLY turn a tank on. Sometimes(?), turning on tank to quickly will jam the regulator. 

This has happened to me with propane tanks not in my trailer.  Easy to try and see if it works.
