Why does my SkeeterVac SV5100 insect trap turn off suddenly?
- A
  Amy ScottAug 5, 2025
  Your SkeeterVac insect trap might be turning off suddenly because it is out of gas. In this case, exchange, refill, or replace the LP gas tank. Another reason could be that the overheat protection switch (heat sensor) has been activated. To resolve this, turn off and disconnect the LP gas tank, let the engine cool for 30-45 minutes, then reconnect the LP gas tank and attempt to light the insect trap. After 5 minutes, check that the LED lights and fan are working properly.

What to do if the engine is not functioning properly in my SkeeterVac Lawn and Garden Equipment?

  Jeanette PerryAug 16, 2025
  If the engine on your SkeeterVac is not functioning properly, the LP gas tank may be low or empty; exchange, refill, or replace the LP gas tank. Check for LP gas leaks by following the 'Checking for Leaks' instructions. Also, the ventilation might be blocked. Turn off and disconnect the LP gas tank, check the ventilation openings and air-inlet to ensure they are clear of debris, and clean the unit. If the fan isn't working, verify the insect trap has been running for at least 10 minutes. Use a pencil and slowly turn the fan blades. If the fan blades continue to turn on their own, allow the unit to continue to run. If fan blades stop, turn off the LP gas tank and clean the insect trap.
