How to fix your propane heater that wont stay on.Buddy heaters CLICK IT! CLICK IT!

[@gloriacroutch8746]

Thank you so much for the simple and excellent explanation! I'm a woman who has had zero electrical experience and I just fixed our heater for my husband! We don't have little kids and pets around the heater and we only use it when we are in the room so this fix is great and it saved us $100! Thanks!

[@uredskivid]

jeseus , slow down and give a better description of WHICH wires you are splicing

[@toddnmichelle]

Cut and soldered mine - works perfectly now! Thanks!

MR. SAFETY HERE. "Makes it less safe which means it won't shut off on it's own." "Use it at your own risk." This is supposed to be used outside not inside." "And make sure you don't have children around when your heating yourself up." YOU'LL BE HEATING YOURSELF UP WHEN IT EXPLODES. 🔥🔥🔥

I love when people actually take time out of their lives,set up camera,then not show you the most critical part!

[@LUCKY4EVER69]

hahaha

[@frankhernandez7827]

And save people time and money.

[@scottfreeman258]

The critical step is to…Buy a new heater and spend the $60. Is cheaper than replacing your house and everything you own.

[@thehillbillyfarmers]

It worked! We had one without the tip over switch years ago and the thermocouple must have been the problem with that one. Thank you

[@mikepetro9679]

Just want to say , I just banged on the bulb part lightly with the butt end of a screwdriver gently about 10-20 times , then heard a rattle . The peice inside was stuck/frozen.. then I heard it rattling .. turned it on , all good

[@MaxRoycroft]

This is the answer

[@bornto4551]

WOW. That's solution. I might use it 100 years more.. Great! Thanks bro.

[@justdissin7340]

Yesss they work now thanks brotha. I had to watch several times but great video

[@rigogarcia9749]

Did as instructed on this video. Works perfectly. Thank you so much.

[@geneotrexler8246]

Good video 👍

[@bamiya]

Just tried it out on unit, took me all of ten minutes. Worked like a charm! THANK YOU SIR! !! You've made my day. One less thing to worry about.

[@MRKNIGHTNDAY]

you're very welcome. Thank you!

[@MRKNIGHTNDAY]

Please be safe and use outdoor only.

[@JM-nh8yp]

My fix was: To turn down the main gas supply on the tank when its warming up. After a minute or so, I turn the tank up to full open. For some reason the extra gas pressure would apparently blow out the flame when releasing the "pilot" button. I also may try moving the thermocouple to see if that makes a difference, but Im not sure how that would be related to my tank pressure. Because mine stays lit after I run it with the tank barely cracked open for that first minute.

[@williamlang8920]

This worked lol wow just needed to barely have it open

[@SwimDeeep]

I tried didn’t work sad

[@richd4612]

You don’t have to cut any wires. Pull the two wires with the female spade connectors (typically with rubber insulating boots) off the tip over ball(s). Cut a bare piece of #14 solid ground conductor about a 1” long from a piece of romex. Push the bare #14 conductor into one side of one of the female spade connectors and push the other end of the bare #14 conductor into one side of the other female spade connector. Tape the new connection(s) to secure them and you are done. This method doesn’t destroy the wiring in the event you want to purchase and replace tip over ball(s) and reconnect the wiring. If you don’t have romex to get the piece of #14 bare conductor any thin narrow short piece of metal will join the two female spade connectors. If you don’t have a thin narrow short piece of metal and the female spade connectors have rubber insulating boots slide the boot down the wire off of one connector and push it under the boot of the other connector so the connectors overlap and make contact under the boot. Tape all connection to secure them.

Great video, thanks for posting. Please post more videos like this.

[@garymcgee4817]

Thank you! Worked great. Besides the defect. The heater is awsome

[@artiesparty]

Thx a bunch. Works great!! 🤘🤘

[@nightranger9795]

Preciatcha. At the campsite listening to my wife bitching and moaning about how cold it is at the campfire. So I put 10 pieces of timber on the fire to no avail. I mean I was afraid we was gonna burn the campground up. Still bitching, I remembered my trusty propane heater in the truck. WHAT THE FUCK IT WONT STAY LIT THIS DAY IS LOST. mamma ain't happy I ain't happy 😉 but then I found your video. Disaster averted. Back on track for a romantic evening in the camper.

[@rabbbrabbb8367]

Thank you very much it worked like a charm

[@jasonmartin9530]

So far I just have to jiggle the thermocoupler connections a little to get mine working again. use some pliers and unplug and replug them and mine works for a few weeks again

[@colt45peacemaker]

It works, Thank you much!

[@silleunesmith6401]

Idk If this will always work but it worked for me. Just take your lighter and peck lightly on the safety switch.

[@Hōkūleà-m5r]

I would like to know if it's worth buying the termocouple of Dyna-Glo model TT15CDGP. When I press the button it doesn't stay on.

[@shyland4534]

Use a clamp to keep the button from shutting it off. Ask me how I know? I’m using it right now 😂

[@shyland4534]

I’d buy a propane blower

[@dontexist4317]

Mine was doing the exact same thing. If you want to keep it safe, clean the terminals on the safety switch. Mine were just a little dull and kept it from working. Or can buy the safety switch for like 12 bucks.

[@mytimebytony2315]

Do you happen to have the link?

[@thomassnead9933]

Thank you. That fixed mine.

[@brada1997]

You could just disconnect the wires and plug them together instead of cutting them. I figured that was some safety switch and I could bypass it. Thank you. I've never even used this heater before and need it now.

[@classapcs]

WORKED PERFECTLY, THANK YOU.

[@dalewyatt9405]

Which ones do I splice together

[@randyfiore1311]

Great video saved me $ 🤓

[@MRKNIGHTNDAY]

you're very welcome. Thank you!

[@Alpz07]

I just opened the dump switch and placed the metal ball in the right place; no need to cut. Try shaking it first.

[@brownknight95]

That thermocouple turns the gas off if heater tips over. Now I do believe all the standard tanks legally in service today ALSO have an anti-tip shutoff if it goes over, so as long as you are hooked directly to the tank, it should be safe. You just eliminated a failure prone element.

[@scottfreeman258]

There us an old saying amongst pilots: Redundancy is Life.

[@benny6289]

Thanks for the video, nowadays it's hard to get something that works properly due to all the safety krapp hate it, Just like the Barbecue er never works because of the regulator to safe it's freaking BS.

[@Aletheia828]

I keep pushing the red button and is no longer sending the propane through (full tank). Any suggestions?

[@minibikemadman]

I hot glued the button pushed in LOL.

[@guymurray7040]

Thank You!

[@therealmarknelson]

I have to try this...

[@tommyha3746]

Do you know how the safety shut off switch work,there is no electric power on the unit,so how it can shut off the propane to the burner

[@RO-rr3tx]

Grabbed any tools within reach to join the wires

[@donmahone4847]

I believe the two wires are snipped from the safety cut off ball contraption. The video is a little less clear to make it out. I'll try it after I remove the Mr Heater and whack that ball contraption and try to keep it lit....one more time. Thanks!

[@tammymartinez4145]

You dont even have to clip the wires,just pull and disconnect connection then get a 5 car or truck fuse and put the connecters on the fuse connector and it will work that way.

[@ernestlunsford3964]

Thank you soooo much, !!!!

[@MRKNIGHTNDAY]

you're very welcome. Thanks

[@MRKNIGHTNDAY]

Please be safe and use outdoor only.

[@twinkbidlake1126]

What about when it don't shut off

[@IronMan-bl7dd]

Thanks I taped on mine and it started working might work for some people

[@Alpz07]

yes coz the problem was the metal ball

[@ironcladpatriot5829]

Thank you sir

You Bet! thank you.

This is what you do when you're bored and just waiting for an accident 😂 please nobody else like this the likes are at 666 😂😂😂 just leave it be 1/26/24

[@dougspangenberg5401]

My fix was: put a shim under the tank and it worked great. OR you can make sure the heater isn’t pointed downward.

[@Alpz07]

true

[@mike75479]

Here is the issue, if it’s not sitting correctly it won’t work… has to be level from all directions -- center

[@chesterfranklin2642]

This is not a fix. It's a hack, eliminating the safety feature.

[@deerek2013texas09]

If you make the connection on the to plugs tighter by crimping down on them. It well always work properly. 100% 0f the Time

[@anthonywilliamson2080]

Or you can replace the small battery inside the black ball and keep it safer and legal...

[@spLiffyFOUR20]

I'm having trouble with my grounding wire, the one thats not yellow. It broke off from the piece that it's supposed to be on, I found a temp fix with the screw that holds the piece where the propane comes out (lock it up with the screw). But the wire keeps getting corrode with use, any idea on how I can make a permanent fix? I usually have to use sand paper with the wire a bit if it doesnt light, but that's only after a few times of use, and then it starts right up again.

[@zbow1974]

why not just un plug them and use spade connectors to make a jumper?

[@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113]

You would not happen to know how to put together the "Low/Med/Hi" doomahickey, would you? Or point me to a Schematic. I'm guessing i will need some sort of specialty Alignment Tool, at $4000, per.

[@LUCKY4EVER69]

There was no need to cut the wires, could've simply unplugged both wires and used a metal coupler to reconnect the plug ends together, at the same time bi-passing the safety shut-off switch. JS ;)

Nothing involved in a fix with a propane heater should involve the words "use it at your own risk" or "dont use it around kids"... better to spend 50 on a new one.

Or spend 8 bucks for a new switch. The part number is on the side.

[@doublez724]

Not to worry! Your friends, family and kids can catch on fire with ease (new one or not)! Read the instructions and ask somebody. These heaters truly work great, but when used in the proper conditions.

Next time your brake light on you car stop working due to a bad switch activated by brake pedal, remove the switch do a bypass, everything will be ok, just the other drivers behind you will not get noticed when you are stoping, 😎 genius!

I could tell what you did. Your hand was in the way a

[@michaelruss5253]

Take the cage off . Then you can easily remove the thermocouple

[@soulsweet40]

I did it but it still doesn't work...I noticed that the metal wire, at least one side is not attached to anything...does both sides have to be attached?

[@MRKNIGHTNDAY]

Hi. It does not work on all models. Be safe pls

[@daleferrario]

Don't do this. Buy the new Thermocouple and install it, not that hard. And in the end, you will still have the safety of the original design.

[@doublez724]

The thermocouple was not altered. The tip over switch was altered. The original design did not have a tip over switch.

[@MaxRoycroft]

Replaced my thermocouple and still have a problem.

Using this unit or any gas units without the safety cut-off is just stupid. If your life isn't worth the price to fix it then consider the fireman that will risk their life to save your sorry ass.

Sorry but it's a bad video, no how-to light it, no clear bypass wire just a jumble of wire taping.

[@DeltaDJ2006]

then come home to ashes, Just replace it man only $40

[@MRKNIGHTNDAY]

I agree with you but I have 4 and all stopped working due to storage because of this faulty valve. No one should use this indoor or without being present. this video is for people who cannot afford a new one and should use outdoor. thanks again for your valuable advice.

why not just get e new themalcouple

Thermocouple is not what is wrong. It is the plastic safety tip switch

[@77bubba00]

@@colt45peacemaker The tip switch rarely goes bad. If it does, it only costs 8 bucks to replace. Thermocouples cost about 10 bucks. I've had 2 thermocouples fail, but never the tip switch. It's a very simple mechanism.
