mattlucas 0 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 So I bought used Kero heater and for the first two days a great heat was emitted from it. Now though its blowing cold air. Its seems to be using Kerosene but no heat it coming out. Still smells as well. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Weird. Have you pressed some buttons like a madman? Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 Yup. I even went caveman on it. That didn't seem to work either. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Take back. Shout in shop. Get new one (and free "sorry" tissues!) Bargain! Link to post Share on other sites
nekobi 0 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 kinda obvious, but are you sure theres still kero in the tank? also, when mine reaches the desired temp it cuts off by itself then cuts back on then the degrees drop. kinda loud and annoying when i watch tv, but saves me from having to get up and turn it off when it gets too hot.

mattlucas 0 Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 I filled it up last night and still it just cold air. Even this morning I put it to 30 when it was very cold in my bedroom and no hot air. Link to post Share on other sites

brit-gob 9 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 My heater, ALWAYS, runs out of kero JUST AT THE MOST INCONVENIENT MOMENT. Without fail. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 Thanks for the help. I am taking it back for my free ''sorry tissues'' and getting one that works. Well hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites
crazyski 0 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 no i've got kero problems, too, and the during the coldest stretch of weather since i arrived here. 3 days ago my heater wouldn't start up. my supervisors buy me a new one, and that one seems to have the same problem. it warms itself up, then when it tried to spark a flame...nothing. At least my heaters are electric and are smart enough to tell me something's wrong (unlike toque's, it sounds like). " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Good luck! Why do they give me tissues at the bank sometimes? As if I need them! Just give me INTEREST. I don't need no tissues, not. Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I had one like that once. I got it changed and the new one as ok. Didn't get any sorry tissues though. Link to post Share on other sites
wendy-cake 0 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 One of my heaters seems to be very tempremental. Sometimes it works just fine, but other times is annoyingly weak. I wish I could have deep carpets and central heating. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 I got a new one and am very happy about it. So nice and warm in one of 4 rooms in my apartment. But again the other night it slowly started to let out less and less heat. I was watching the temperature drop until finally it hit 5 or 6. So I turned it off and lifted the tank out. Almost full. But after running for a few hours a vaccum had been created inside the tank not letting enough Kero out to keep the flame hot. So after running it for a while turn it off. Take tank out, open and close and start again. Heat again. Very nice. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 What brand of heater is that? (I'll know to avoid in future) Link to post Share on other sites
OBLONG 0 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I always seem to have problems with the ridiculous things. Error messages E4 or E0 or whatever. My main one, bought last year, doesn't seem to want to stay on for more than 10 minutes. It keeps on turning off, telling me E4 in the process. Link to post Share on other sites
