Equipment failure

[FishingSteve]

My heater has always worked great until Saturday. Like I said I really didn't find anything wrong and before I took it apart I had it by my wood burning stove for about an hour, just in case something was froze. I used a hand propane torch to warm up the thermocouple and the ceramic flames would stay lit as long as I simulated a pilot light. I wonder if the tip over safety switch just got stuck in the closed position and blocked the pilot light from getting propane. I guess the problem will either develop or go away, but my guess is the next time my wife goes and gets cold we will end up going home if it doesn't work,[frown] because for the most part I really don't get cold. If you ever see me out on the ice I will have a baseball cap on and no gloves.[cool]
