I have a Propex HS1800. I put it on it whirs for 30 seconds then shuts off. The gas valve don't kick in.

Blinks 5 times.

Instructions say either
Blocked / partially blocked exhaust / combustion air inlet
Water trapped in exhaust pipe
Damaged / crushed exhaust
Fan motor running slow

Most probably got some crap the pipe; though it has been idle for 6 months. I think I had this last May & Gassure sorted this out as part of my LPG conversion.

Any advice on clearing the pipe out? Can I use a long pipe cleaner to try and unblock it? Or is there a more appropiate method. just don't want to make it worse!

its still under warrentry, so before you do anything talk to gasure, to make sure you are not invalidating anything......

The propex is a old version.

It was repaired by gassure to get working again, though I think it's the same problem!

airline and a bit of cloth to seal it and blow it through, but I'd email Propex direct and ask their tech guys first, I know this is ok on a 2000 with the aux passive optical fan (Propex tech guys advice) but can't be sure about your 1800

I got the problem sorted. Propex gave me a work around about putting the airline up the inlet pipe. However didn't need too. Just started it a few times today and it just kicked in!

Ran it for 10/15 mins and re-started it and all ok! Heat again!

The advice is to run them regularly to keep them free, worth starting them every month even in summer, actually with a 2000 especially in the summer
