Modine Hot Dawg will not stay lit

[gixxer998]

Hello everyone,

Great forum here.

I am having an issue with my 75,000 BTU Modine Hot Dawg propane garage heater. It will cycle through the process of firing, fire then the flame will go out after 9-10 seconds. It will try this 4 more times than trip out.

I have removed the flame detection probe, cleaned it and re-installed it but still nothing. My propane (100 gallon) bottle was recently filled and I have never had an issue with the heater before now.

One thing, during the summer I turn off the main valve on the tank. When I turned it on to use the heater I hear what sounded like a slight "pop" or a "tick" like maybe the regulator outside did something.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

Try turning the gas valve OFF, & let it sit for a minute, then turn it back on s-l-o-w-l-y. You may have tripped the OPD in the tank...

Thanks Bob. I will give that a shot tonight.
