Please explain how to repair a dyna glo pro kerosene heater that is not firing

okay you're gonna be something a little different another repair all right so this dine aglow style canon i don't know what you call it basically a space heater which operates off of kerosene or diesel or jet fuel believe it or not there they're all the same great but anyway basically the premise behind this is you fill this oil diesel and you do need power which powers the fan and the pump and out comes the heat that way pretty much it atomizes the fuel and ignites it now this is gonna be a little more in-depth how to diagnose and repair these things when they up on you something more than switch it on and off and whatever nonsense it tells you there so number one the fuel intake is over here see this pipe coming down and the pump is at the back powered by the same motor the powers of fan to this rope this thing it's fairly simple a couple of screws over here and they're not going to move the top cover and you can see this one is really the ste it was probably used a construction site or something this here is the chamber not to much exciting stuff over there i've already removed orifice which looks something like this so the orifice is here this brass nozzle which is what sprays out the fuel and we have we have two connections at the bottom here one is going down into the fuel tank which is this line over here and then the other is this one here which runs to the bottle the pump in a second and basically this guy just just locks in here and then here we have the two probes for the ignition which sparked you can see these big thick high-voltage cables and that guy sits right in here and this secures to the to the gas orifice so basically there's this guy is a twist lock and then just one screw on the back here to remove this assembly and then it becomes free so you obviously want to check and make sure this guy is not clogged it shouldn't because the air is blowing that way against it there should be nothing coming back that way it can be that your fuel line is clogged where the pump is the other thing we have here is a photocell in this rubber condom over here so you can take that guy out and check them and then we have a thermal limit switch over here these guys are notorious for going bad I will get one on the bench here and I'll show you how to test them okay so this is what the limit switch looks like obviously if you're replacing that you want to make sure you get one of the correct value a simple way to test these is you put your multimeter across here on continuity or you can just make a simple circuit with a battery and an LED and make sure you're getting continuity across there there's two dissimilar metals inside here which separates when this thing reaches its limit it's usually marked on there or you can google the part number and find out with what it's set temperature is and then once it cools off it resets some of them you'll see they have a little button on them where they have to manually be reset but these these do go bad and do need to replace be replaced duh so check that with your multimeter or make a simple circuit to test for continuity if you're not getting continuity across here which is to say this thing is broken somehow you just throw it out and replace it you can temporarily bypass it by just connecting the two wires so say your limits which is bad here you can just unplug these two terminals and connect them together if you need to get this thing started an emergency however you are bypassing that safety mechanism so if there's a fire in there it's not gonna trip the whole thing's gonna go off again your photocell can become dirty there's basically two screws here to get this guy off and then it comes out this I don't think it slips out of here I tried it doesn't come out you may have to wiggle it but I think you can I think you can you slip the rubber oh so you want to make sure that the eye on that photocell isn't isn't dirty and I believe that operates as a simple flame sensor looking down at the board here another simple thing you want to look at is the fuse right there again you can take the fuse out check it for continuity but you can pretty much see if it if it's belonged or not however if you're plugging it in and you're getting zero power you know it's obviously the fuse on the board here and not this is our switch yeah it's a variable switch for the thermostat tiny LED a plastic cover here's the microcontroller that's some capacitors transistor my lung capacitors a relay transformer that's about it not not too exciting our master on/off switch and you'll see that this is the second fuel line that goes to the pump that runs back here and underneath and this is an interesting pump basically what we have here is two sides to it this is the air intake by the sponge you got to take this guy off and make sure it's cleaned and then here or what appear to be the intake holes now you should be getting a pressure on this gauge when it's operating now the problem with this one is that that that rotator or that impeller was completely destroyed so I threw it out I didn't have it basically made of some kind of graphite material and it rotates within this chamber and each pass of the vane is like a push-pull sort of idea and it pulls an air from here and pushes it through this line over here so basically it's an atomizer you have fuel coming in one side and air coming in the other side and there's blowing against the the fuel atomizes and sprays it out of this little dick hole over here so to get this guy off we have three screws over here which I find they just strip with the star head so we use a that's fantastic doesn't even say what is this eight and a quarter or something like that I know whatever just use the this guy the driver to get them off and then once you remove that we'll have some more under here there's two here on two on this side so I'm gonna go ahead and do that and show you okay now to access these two screws over here you do have to remove the pressure gauge it's just threaded in there no teflon tape or anything so anyways and that will give you access to the two other screws okay so now we can pull this guy off and you can see there's another gasket over here with a sort of filter here which is saturated and fuel I don't know if that's supposed to be like that but that tells me fuel was passing through here somehow and you can see it's all dirty from graphite impeller being shredded up now I believe the way this works is that it sucks in air through this side and pushes it through this side why this thing is saturated and fuel I have no idea it could have been the middle of sucking fuel through it when it was not operating correctly but as I say the other line is just over here this is a hole this tube is connected back here so I really have no idea why this is saturated and fuel you can see that the line goes through right here and we have the two lines that come over here so I really can't understand how this works if it's supposed to be pulling fuel through it but to my understanding it's a simple air pump atomizer okay now we have this piece removed you can see it was four more bolts and here's the connection for the tubing now in here is where that graphite impeller should have been and it was just totally shredded this guy was free spinning and nothing was happening so I'm gonna have to see to getting another Impella for this thing you can see there's no type of holes or orifices or anything around here the only thing it turns against is a carefully machined surface and we have two slits here so that's why I believe the way this works is by pulling air and compressing it through the other side so that is to say pulling air through this side up pushing it through here because this this part here is sealed I am doing this freehand you can see that this guy sits okay so that guy sits like this this is the closed side that threaded thing there is where the pressure gage would go and this little nub you will over here I believe is for a model that has like a choke which is like a higher low or something like that so it goes just like that so the gauge being on this side tells me that this is pressurized so again why there's fuel in here I have no idea but anyways that's pretty much all the things you can check again you have this big beefy capacitor over here for the pump hers of the motor it's a good size electro motor that we have over here 2.75 amps 120 volts fun stuff single speed if your motors not working then obviously you have to replace the motor or it could be the capacitor that's bad but fairly fairly simple machine and its operation they're ridiculously expensive I have no idea why that is how it operates so hopefully this video give you some insight on how to go about repairing your own any questions
