T-35 Days - Torpedo Heater Flame Out Fix

[@WaynePolcin]

Wow. I almost did get to make this video. It was an extremely busy day. I know today's content isn't the most interesting, but it is what's happening in my life. And I made a promise to put out one video per day until the great reveal on April 2nd. So here it is, friends. Thanks for watching and putting up with my wEirdness!

Wow I'm glad I held on to my heater for 10 years I knew it was an easy fix

[@WaynePolcin]

I hope it works for you. It did for me. If not, you can replace the safety switch. I think I failed to mention that in the video.

[@barrykilts4506]

Cool beans I’ll give that a go tomorrow when I go out,mine worked then it didn’t next time but it has spark and all and works long as you hold the dial in this sounds good,congrats

[@WaynePolcin]

Great. Let me know how that works. The valve itself could be defective, which would require replacing.

[@WaynePolcin]

Hey there, Al. I hope things are beginning to thaw out a little up there. After the reveal, we are looking forward to getting up into Wisconsin. I can't wait to meet you face to face!

Grady here im from Arkansas.... i actually have the same issue with a heater that started fouling up last year .... i put it in the shed thinkin id ask at the COOP if anyone had any ideas where to start mabbeeee however youve done that task for me sooooo i found it VERY interesting!!!! .... thanks again sir have a blessed day

[@WaynePolcin]

Thanks for the kind words my friend. Since that video, I have learned about other causes for the intermittent functionality of that heater. I think you’ve inspired another video!

[@gradyturner3367]

@@WaynePolcin yvw sir and in my opinion anyone making videos to help others find a solution to a issue such as our heat an air systems, laundry machines, and everwhat have given thier time effort and knowledge for free basically which makes them a invaluable asset to our communities ..... ya take it upon yourself to educate folka whom are often ungrateful and rude..... im only sayin..... thanks sir we appreciate the effort

[@SendNubes96]

Hey Wayne, are you still active here on KZbin? I have a question about torpedo heaters

[@SendNubes96]

Well actually I have two or three, is the flame out sensor a thermocouple? I don't think it is but.

[@SendNubes96]

Actually it seems as if you are, so for the sake of brevity I'll get right to it. I have a 38,000 btu propane heater, but when I push the button to give it gas. I get nothing

[@WaynePolcin]

The flame detector is a thermocouple which operates a solenoid to hold the gas valve open as long as a flame is present. Pushing and holding the button overrides the detector and forces gas to flow in the absence of flame. So if you’re not getting gas while holding the button in, then you have a problem with the supply tank or the hose connection on the heater.

[@moofdoggmike]

Congrats WP and Suz the Q on u forthcoming grandson... another gift. BTW so if not a helicopter landing pad then it must be a runway for your new ultralight plane? 😉. Have a good one. 🐶

[@WaynePolcin]

Thanks, Moofdogg! Who told you about the ultralight??? Hahaha!

[@stoveguy2133]

Mine is going from nice blue flame to big yellow flame.
