  If there's a spark but no ignition in your ReddyHeater Heater, first, ensure the gas supply is on and the equipment shutoff valve is open. Make sure the control knob is fully pressed in while pressing the ignitor button. If there's air in the gas lines from installation, keep holding down the control knob and repeat the igniting operation until the air is removed. Check if the ODS/pilot is clogged and clean it, or consider replacing the ODS/pilot assembly. Verify the inlet gas pressure and regulator setting. Ensure the control knob is in the PILOT position. Lastly, if using propane, check for a depleted gas supply.

Why does the pilot light go out on my ReddyHeater Heater when I release the control knob?

  If the ODS/pilot light of your ReddyHeater Heater goes out when you release the control knob, make sure the control knob is fully pressed in and held for at least 30 seconds after the pilot lights. Ensure the equipment shutoff valve is fully open. Check the thermocouple connection at the control valve and hand tighten it until snug, then tighten an additional 1/4 turn. Contact your local gas company or clean/replace the ODS/pilot assembly. If the pilot flame isn't touching the thermocouple, allowing it to cool, causing the pilot flame to go out. Consider replacing the thermocouple or control valve if damaged.

  If you notice a gas odor during combustion in your ReddyHeater Heater, there might be foreign matter between the control valve and burner; disassemble the gas tubing to remove any foreign matter. Also, check for gas leaks and correct them.

  If the burner(s) on your ReddyHeater Heater don't light after the ODS/pilot is lit, it could be due to a clogged burner orifice, so clean the burner orifice. Alternatively, the inlet gas pressure might be too low, in which case you should contact your local gas supplier.

How to fix no spark when pressing ignitor on ReddyHeater Heater?

  Brittany SmithAug 31, 2025
  If there is no spark at the ODS/pilot when the ignitor button is pressed on your ReddyHeater Heater, the ignitor electrode might be positioned wrong or broken, so replace the electrode. The ignitor electrode might not be connected to the ignitor cable, so replace the ignitor cable. The ignitor cable could be pinched or wet, so free it from any metal or tubing and keep it dry. The ignitor cable could be broken, so replace it. The piezo ignitor might be bad, so replace it. Finally, the battery might be low, so replace it.

  If you observe a high yellow flame during burner combustion in your ReddyHeater Heater, it could be due to insufficient air. Check the burner for dirt and debris, and clean it if necessary. The gas regulator might be defective, so replace it. The inlet gas pressure could also be too low, so contact your local gas supplier.

  If your ReddyHeater Heater experiences delayed ignition of the burner(s), the manifold pressure might be too low, so contact your local gas supplier. Alternatively, the burner orifice could be clogged, so clean the burner.

  If you notice a slight smoke or odor during the initial operation of your ReddyHeater Heater, it is likely due to residues from the manufacturing process. This problem should stop after a few hours of operation.
