Today I will share with you the possible faults and solutions for portable kerosene heaters. However, if the user does not know how to check the fault, he can disconnect the power supply and seek help from professionals. Next, we will talk about it from the following aspects:
1. Unstable combustion or flameout
This happens because the nozzle of the portable kerosene heater is blocked, carbon deposits in the oil circuit, fuel impurities or aging of the furnace core lead to poor atomization. Users can regularly clean the oil pipeline and nozzle, replace the filter, and the effect will be improved.
2. Frequent shutdown
This is because the oil circuit is blocked, causing the oil supply to be interrupted or the thermostat mistakenly triggers the overheating protection . Users can clean the oil circuit and then check the fuel tank filter to ensure that the fuel is clean . In addition, put the portable kerosene heater in a ventilated position to facilitate heat dissipation.
3. The device is not powered on or the indicator light is abnormal
Users can check the cause of the fault from three aspects: poor contact of the power plug, blown fuse, and aging of the circuit line , and then repair or replace it after finding the cause.
4. The temperature is not as high as before
This situation may be caused by the filter being clogged, resulting in insufficient air intake or a decrease in the sensitivity of the thermostat. Users can clean the air inlet filter of the portable kerosene heater every month to keep the air flowing.
5. Risk of carbon monoxide leakage
This problem occurs because the kerosene is not fully burned or the exhaust pipe is clogged. When using the portable kerosene heater, users need to ensure that the environment is well ventilated and avoid long-term operation in a confined space. In addition, regularly check whether the exhaust pipe is blocked and clean it in time.
