Cleaning a vent free gas heater pilot light

I am so glad I could help! Thanks for watching.

[@Guinevere0205]

I literally cried last year when my 3yr old heater wouldn’t lite. It had been a horrific year & wondering how I was gonna afford another heater was the straw that broke me. BUT, I started researching & found your AMAZING video. It’s simple yet thorough & Incredibly easy to follow step by step. I made sure to take pics of what things looked like before so I knew exactly what it should look like putting it back together. I wasn’t as quick as you are of course. Had no one to help me so I went stupid slow so I didn’t mess it up. In less than an hour it lit right up & I cried again because of the relief knowing I didn’t have to buy another “thing” breaking & also proud of myself for fixing what most everyone else says can’t be done!!! It’s a year later & I just lit her back up after having been off for 10 months and viola! Reminded me to send you a huge thank you message! She’s still gonna keep me alive for another winter🥶. BRAVO!

I wish I had read this about taking photos, before I started

[@Robinson-Homestead]

That heater will last for years if you keep it clean, i really appreciate your wonderful comment and i am so glad i could help you out . This is the type of comment that keeps me wanting to do the videos. You can e mail me if you ever have any more issues with the heater i will try and help you figure it out.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

The photo hack is a good idea because it is so easy to get fustraited and forget where everything goes .

[@studyitthrough]

Thanks Im a woman almost 80 years old and I see this is not complicated. I have been able to fix most things from electical, sheet rock etc. I thought this was beyond my ability. But I see I can do itl Thanks so much!!!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Just take your time and pictures you can do this make sure you check for leaks. And turn off the gas before you start cleaning. Let me know how it goes.

[@rejn1420]

I use my leaf blower to clean mine. I’m headed to 80 also. Leaf flowers are good for cleaning leaves vent free heaters. They’re also good for cleaning screens but they’re really bad for dusting furniture :-)

I'm an 80 year old female too and I am going to do as the video shows to clean mine up in my rv. Thanks!

[@louiedavis3138]

Great job I live down south and it seems like even the HVAC folks specialize in AC and have very limited staff that can provide maintenance on ventless wall heaters. Standard procedure is to remove and replace a dirty unit. This video tutorial is a great aide for the Southern professional and novice alike. Thank you for caring enough to help the fellow mankind. God bless you.

7 years later Your video is still helping people! A few years back we had our contractor look at ours and he couldn't figure out why our heater kept shutting off. Finally, we resorted to just using a plug in electric heater... BUT then, on a whim, I watched your video, cleaned out our ODS and BAM it's running like a champ! Thank you , thank you , thank you!

I didn't realize that pilot assembly came apart like that. Very helpful my friend, thank you. Another thing that could be done is to take that copper pilot feed off the gas valve and blow that out while it's all already taken apart.

You can take the valve off and tap it up side down on the floor and get the particles out like rust from the pipes.

[@bobblenuts]

Have 4 of these heaters that I have cleaned annually for many years. I learned from owners manual, it was long before Al Gore invented the internet! I always used a shop vac and never had to remove the vent tube but today that didn't work so your video was helpful. I also use steel wool to polish the tarnished thermocouple and also end of piolet tube and use tiny piece sand paper to clean tip of igniter. I take box assembly (with the glass), place in kitchen sink & hose it off with hot water spry, wipe it dry & clean glass. ALSO - If you have a lazy yellow tipped pilot flame it needs cleaning. Pilot flame should be a sharp blue flame. Yellow in flame creates odor as it's not burning properly due to incorrect air/fuel mixture. Great Video...thanks 👍

[@cheryladelmeyer8172]

I found your video after I talked to my service guy. You are right! Dust. Only he showed me how to clean it with compressed air and not to disassemble it. Luckily this worked. Thanks for video!

[@tonymarieiii2444]

My furnace kept "going off" without warning. Tonight while I was upstairs, the furnace flame extinguished and was releasing gas for over an hour! I watched your video and now feel very confident I can fix the problem. The parts you disassembled, matched my heater parts. Thanks for the great, easy to follow video.

[@Nicki704]

Thank you so much for this video. I took Peters suggestion and took pictures as I took my wall heater apart. But alas I couldn’t get the very last screw out to clean the tubing. I shielded the unit and put a little WD 40...but still couldn’t get it out. Headed to Walmart for some compressed air and thought “ what the heck ...I’ll give this a try. As the air holes were exposed first did those and then went the other way. Tried to light the pilot.....and it WORKED. My hands are not real strong so I think that was part of the problem. Cleaned the unit as suggested and put it all back together. And now my four season room is toasty warm. I am a 73 yr old woman whose handy man husband is in a nursing home and I am very proud of myself right now. Thank you again for excellent video.

I'm so glad I found your video. You just saved me a bunch of money. My husband has always been the one to "clean" the pilot and it still kept going out. Today I took it apart and cleaned it. Lots of dust came out. Now we have a nice blue flame and the burner doesn't blow it out.

This worked perfectly, I didn't take out the pilot light tube but vacuumed that small air opening you show in the video- which dust gathered in the hole, then I cleaned the inside of the rest of the heater. And, it worked!-Awesome-ly Thanks for the video!

Thank you!! Mine is dual fuel, different make. Same problem. The tech wouldn’t touch it. So I found your video, it was excellent!! Mine was just two screws to get it open. The air hoke was facing out and fine forceps removed a dust wad. I blew out the pilot tube. Used a drinking straw brush to clean out any adhering dust and blew it out again. I didn’t need any wrenches or take it apart at all! Lucky to have an easy to service unit! Thanks for a great inspiration video....it saved me several hundred dollars for a new unit and installation. And it kept the “nothing seriously wrong with it” unit out of recycling! You rocked this!

Man i cant thank you enough. Mine is a GCH480 Comfort Glow. Although it has a different part number on the decal . I kept searching an searching and finally one day when i typed in Comfort Glow Walmart came up. So i clicked on it. And it had a different part # than what was on the decal. I typed in the newly found GCH480 and was able to find some manuals and diagrams. But really no troubleshooting steps. Im the type if i know how something works and i can get some troubleshooting steps. I can use hand tools or a volt/ohm meter or dial calipers etc. I had read somewhere that the flame sensor might have to be (man)ually adjusted . Slightly adjusting the angle of the sensor towards the flame. Couldn't get it to move. Then i seen your video. Now the living room is nice and cozy ONCE AGAIN . THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I already watched 2 other videos that only showed how to clean the pilot with a q-tip and alcohol, and I've already done that. I've had my heater at least 12 years, and that simple cleaning used to be enough, but not this year.

Wonderful video. Very clear and really excellent camera angles and views. Your work is very much appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video :)

Thanks!

Thank you so much for your support.

Thank you!! Thank you thank you! I've suffered half the winter with this Glo-Warm heater in the fixer-upper I moved into getting worse and worse, shutting off all the time. Finally these last few days it was virtually unusable. I swapped it out for another old Glo-Warm unit from the previous owner's storage that *also* must have had a dusty pilot, and only after that I found your video...now I have a nice healthy blue diagonal pilot light instead of the orange vertical one, and the heater's staying on! (and I also know now how to wrap yellow plumber's tape on the connections with frozen fingers)

I am glad to help Scott thanks for watching.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Simple and straightforward. Thanks.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you so much for the comment and watching.

Nice video! Hopefully this will solve my problem and save me $120+. I think the only thing they would have done different would be to clean up the thermocouple with some steel wool while they had it out. It's videos like these that nobody makes.... It will never get 15 million views but every view it gets you're probably helping someone out and saving them a lot of money. I'm sure everyone that has watched and commented searched for this video it probably just didn't pop up in their feed. Keep making quality content like this

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks let me know if it works out for you.

[@justplainducky]

Hey guy went in after watching your video and had my heater fired up are working fine in no time, thanks

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment glad to help.

So good to see someone using common sense for a change, and if your not sure how it goes back together take a photo of it before you pull it apart.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

+Peter Mundy Good idea thanks for your comment

[@ernestthomas5281]

common sense for a change LOL

[@hjonedmonds]

I like your video and it works well, I too use these stoves and have always just took the front off and used compressed air to blow everything out, and it has always resulted in a beautiful blue flame with no problems, thanks for the video though.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

+harold edmonds Thank you for your comment.

Kevin thank you for the video! You just saved me $200.00.

[@dukeman7595]

Thanks for a easy to follow repair, you saved me some money. Plus you are a great teacher.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you Joseph glad to help.

[@TheWildest90s]

Great info always wondered why my dad would be a new one every year

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Just clean it and it will be fine. Thanks for watching.

[@fridakello9159]

I'm pretty much DONE with asking a man "is it something I can do myself." My propane guys told me no because you have to take it all apart and clean it. Well, duh. I live in rural New Mexico. To have a service "man" come and service my $300 heater would probably cost $300. Nope, Nope, Nope. After taking my wood stove apart and successfully replacing the catalyst (thanks to another excellent tutorial video), I'm pretty sure I'll be elevated to Queen of the World after accomplishing this. Thank you for your patient, comprehensive, visually excellent video!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you for the nice comment, I'm sure you can do it just take your time and take pictures so you know exactly how to put it back together.

[@vickilund7206]

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you for the comment and for watching glad to help Geonidas.

I sprayed mine out with air, cleaned it, cleaned all areas and holes. Could not get it to work. Very frustrating as my furnace also went out. Put my head down and blew each side through the oxygen hole. Definitely a difference. Thought maybe if I backed off the brass gas feeder a 1/8 turn. Seemed a bit better. No go. All day on this coming back to it and was ready to give up. Swapped the brass pieces from side to side. BAM! I got fuel feeding and a working unit!
