I think mine needs a part as it won't stay lit.

No idea who fixes them. How long does it stay lit for?
Is it a stand up patio heater which takes propane like sold at HD or Costco?

Did you happen to bleed the line for a few minutes? We have one of those and when we use it after about a year, this is what we have to do. Gets all the air out and any possible moisture.

I'm pretty sure it's the thermo-coupler doodad. Bleeding won't help. The pilot will light but it won't get hot enough to kick over to heat so that part isn't doing it's job.

You're going either be stuck trying to find the part online or buying a new one.
There use to be a propane supply place on mirmar Rd that carried a lot of parts.

If you can't get it fixed at a propane seller, try a camping and/or RV place.

Thanks
I think the part is cheap I just am so busy it's hard to get to this stuff. Sounds like I might have a niche for retirement in fifteen years.
