Mr. Heater problem

[trouttracker]

I have a Mr. Heater and the pilot will not stay lite. Has anyone else had this problem and what needs to be done to fix it.

Think I saw a post on here a while back about someone pulling something off and sand it down. Can't remember exactly.

Might just be dirty, take a q tip put alcohol on it & clean out the line where the propane comes out of.

Sand the thermocouple to see I that helps. If the pilot light won't stay lit it is the thermocouple. You probably also have a clog in you tube to you main heater. Once you get it open its and easy check

If you do a search there's videos on what to do on youtube

try tilting it to the right so the flame is closer to the thermocoupler, I have to do mine that way. I think the coupler is bad but it works while tilted. May try sanding it.

Use a compressed air can to blow out the tube. Insert the straw in the tube and give it a couple of shots. Fixed mine.
