Dyna Glo Heater Repair - Fix that Switch

My video from 2015 showed you how to make this Dyno-Glo (RA18LPDG) space heater work. This video will show you how to fix it. Also Comfort Glow GCH480; Thermoheat; Radiant Cabinet Heater; etc.

Thanks, this was very helpful, my heater is newer and the tip over switch was too difficult to remove without taking a lot apart. I decided to turn it sideways without the tank and it started working. Shaking the ball against the switch worked, so not sure if it will do it everytime.

Most issues are simply because people do NOT read the manuals- to ANYTHING.. Your issue with th pilot is it says to 'hold the button for at least 30 seconds... and your holding it down for what.. 1-1/2 seconds???

Guess what Steve. I held it long enough to warm up the thermocouple. Which was a couple of seconds. Holding it for 30 seconds would be a waste of my time. The problem with these heaters is generally not the thermocouple, but the electrical contact which closes the gas valve because the tip-over switch in faulty.
