cordless will not ignite?
579284
Without actually seeing the device it is hard to tell why it won't ignite. I woukd offer the same advice as below and try taking out the cartrudge and reinstalling it, then try to ignite it. Maybe the unit is worn out if you hsve had it a while. Usually it is something simple so ask a friend to try it from scratch. Hope you get it resolved. My wife loves hers. Ask for a new for Xmas. Have a happy holiday.

i carry mine with me for the quick little touch ups -- living in louisiana the humidity is horrible -- i have not had any issues -- i just pulled mine out and tried it -- screw cylinder in -- push the "on" button, listen for the hiss, then slide the ignitor (took 2 times), touch to feel the cylinder getting hot!!! ta da!!! works like a charm!!! hope this helps!

I have not had any problems with it. The main suggestion is to be sure that the unit is pushed to the "off" position before laying it down after you have finished with it. Like anything else, left unattended it could burn someone or something, especially while still hot. Listen for the "hiss"--no sound, it is usually off. When in doubt, remove the thermal unit. It's great not being restricted to using an outlet.

Do you mean your's won't heat up or are you afraid it will ignite? Be sure your thermacell isn't empty and screwed on tight. OR it could be the Cordless that isn't working right. I had to replace the cordless a couple years ago because it was worn out...could that be the problem? First check the cell. Good luck.

Same here. Unplugging for a night used to work. Now I've waited a full day after plugging back up and no luck. Seems like mines is now dead :(. No reset button or anything on this box

I gave this as a gift, but would assume that if you don't plug it in, it doesn't heat up.

The gas ring may have grease and such clogging the holes were the flame comes out. This happened to us. We could hear the click from the ignitor but it never fired up, we took a grill brush to the ring under the grate were the flame usually comes out and voila! It worked. Good Luck!

No special setup should be required, you may try disconnecting the phone and plugging it back in to restart it.. If both of them are not working could be the cord, or the phone as well.

Are you kidding?IF IT IS CORDED,PLUG IT IN!!!If it doesn't come on,Try the reset button!!!If it still doesn't come on then there is no power at the outlet!

Yes, we have experienced a few times that we were not able to light it. It seems to be similar to our Bar-b-que in terms of our inability to light it up. Which usually points to one of two things: either bad lighters or bad operator. I'm afraid it may be more of the latter! I know it's frustrating but we keep a lighter near the unit in case it doesn't light.

The electric ignition does not need batteries or connection to a power outlet. Simply turn the knob a the spark is generated with ease and it works well.

Did you turn it on using the nob in the from first. Try that first. If not, check your outlet and try plug to another outlet. And if thats not the case you have to send it back for a new one. I hope thats kind of helpful.

I had the same issue, on the bottom where you put the Butane in (there should be another tube around it) you'll see that it has indents, use something small like a flathead screwdriver and twist it to the left increasing the power of the lighter and it should work.

Did you check to ensure there is no fouling of the ignition wire? This happened on my previous torch and I never could get the igniter clean enough to use again...so I ordered a new torch.

The unit does not have a battery. Pushing the start button causes a spark to ignite heat source.

has anybody found the solution to cordless getting dischanrged when out of charger base? This is a major show stopper for us.

I had the same issue. I learned to hold the dial at pilot for about 5 seconds and had to light the pilot area with a lighter. Once lit I slowly turn the dial to high and its ignites every time. I haven't had an issue since.. Hope this helps

When you say you plugged it in, does this mean you wired it to the battery? Or did you plug the charging connector to the connector on your battery, or did you wire it and plug something into it? If 1. you wired it to the battery, you wired the positive connection to ground. As soon as you turned it on you completed the circuit and burned the smallest wire. 2. You plugged the charging connector to opposite connections and you got positive wired to ground. 3. The item you plugged into the unit has a direct short from positive to ground and you burned that item out. Follow the instructions very carefully. Connect the red lead to the positive + side of the battery. Connect the black lead to the negative - side of the battery. Replace the fuse that burned out, and plug the connector into the wiring harness. If you wired it correctly, it should have power all the time, whether or not the key is turned on. You turn the unit on and off via the switch installed in the unit.

hold the lighter to the wick for a short time. there is no flame nor is there a red glow. it will start warming up fairly quickly. if it doesn't, make sure you filled it enough and then hold a lighter under the wick longer. Also put the top back on so you can feel if it is heating up.

try on new batteries only / then electric cord plugin only / then read the owners manual / then if it will not work return it
