Proplex Heater Q

Post by DaveB »

Anyone know anything about these.

Mine was pro-fitted 10 years ago and has been v.reliable. However, now it won't light. I can hear the igniter clicking but no heat at all. I am fairly positive gas is reaching it as the taps are all in the right place and cooker/fridge work fine on gas

Any ideas?

OK
when mine won't light these are the reasons
battery not fully charged
gas supply fault
thermostat fault
flue/intake blocked/resticted

any thing else is a box open jobbie to replace any faulty failsafe systems

What gas are you running on??? I run on camping gaz (butane) i know, I know!!! Anyway, one night the other week when we had the real cold weather I found that although the gas was fine for the cooker the propex wouldn't light... my bottle was low but not empty but changing to a full one sorted it out - figured cold weather was affecting the pressure of it.

Camping Gas, full bottle and not desperately cold ambient temp.

I do have a propane reg and spare bottle so might give that a go
