Why does the pilot light continue to go out by it's self. I was using the heater at a low setting and I heard a small pop and the heater sutoff.

You are running it a bit too low....try a little higher setting until it stays litThe temp control is not an exact science...there is a thermal senser ( safety device ) that extends into the flame, it will shut the gas off if it does not sense enough heat....so if you run at too low a setting the flame is not hot enough and the senser shuts off the gas...pain in the ........but it works.

That problem has not occurred on my heater and I always use it on low setting. As someone else suggested, clean the pilot to get rid of dust.

same thing happen to me, I got a new part for the heater it kept doing the same thing, so I just stop using it, because it will go out at night an you will wake up cold, I think it is a bad heater.

You need to clean the eye where pilot light is - use a straw to blow out dust

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

DittoI tried to put a heater in and found the same problem - if anyone knows how I'd appreciate info too. Thank you!

There is not much to the unit, so if the light is on and the dial is to high, you may just have got a faulty one. I would try another outlet, in case there is a minimal power issue on that (to be sure), otherwise if its not heating up on your first try, it maybe defective.

There is a small internal device that acts as a starter to make the bulbs light up. It sounds like that starter has gone bad. Contact Flowtron and send them the unit for repair.

I have not had a problem with mine but definitely call the company and explain to them what has happened. Be firm but not rude in letting them know that you are not satisfied with the performance of the heater. I am sure they will do something to rectify the problem. Good luck.

I have two of these heaters and never noticed that problem. I don't think it is normal, maybe the wire got damaged. I would exchange it just in case.

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

Umm... No. Any type of spark from an electrical device is generally not a good sign. Due to the design of the heater there's likely minimal immediate risk (however, I am not an electrician; don't take this as gospel). I recommend replacing the unit as soon as possible.

Hi,The light is not a "pilot light". It is simply a means to check to see if the unit is functioning properly. To check it you depress the little spot and if it lights up, The unit is working OK. It has its own Thermostat to maintain temp. Geo

Same issue I had with first unit, called the company and they exchanged and we've never had anymore issues. It was a weird issue. What is the codes that are flashing on the screen? The company was great and responded quickly. We use the heater every time we camp.

Either the thermostat is set to low or it may be defective. Also the heater needs some outside air or it will shut off. Good Luck!!

My heater does the same.I had two since the first broke. I think their thermostats just dont work well.

My heater will cut off all by itself including the power. It will run maybe 5 minutes then cut off. What could be wrong.

Check and replace the batteries. I had exactly the same problem. I Called the company, their customeer service is great. At there suggestion I found one of my batteries was "defective". Replaced it and all was fine. BE sure the unit is NOT mounted close to a heater vent as warm air from heater can cause unusual activity with the light.

I would try a different input, such as a component cable. Something like that happened to my other TV. My house was struck by lightening and it traveled through the TV cable. Destroyed the cable box and the HDMI ports on my TV. It's the only thing I can think of, other than a repairman.
