gas wallheater, no flow (thermostat?)
My natural gas wall heater won't come on. Photos at http://homepage.smc.edu/morgan_david/wallheater/ The pilot is lit. It was last turned on in July. Not having been used since, cranking up the thermostat dial no longer fires it up. I had a stove that would not let gas flow unless a certain detector near the pilot got hot enough to "know" that a pilot was there to ignite the gas. I wonder if these heaters have a similar defeat mechanism that could be my problem (can't see it if so)? Or what other causes should I considerr? Is this something that can be fixed on a do-it-yourself basis or is calling a pro recommended? |
