Location: Monroe, WA | My heat was working great the last time I used it in April. This weekend it would only blow cold air. Is there something simple I can check before taking it in to be fixed? |

Location: Monroe, WA | Yes and I tried both propane tanks thinking one may have been low and not enough pressure even though both registered "green". I lit the stove, which is above the heater so I know propane was getting that far. |

Are you able to light the stove or is there just air coming out that got into the line? |

Location: Monroe, WA | OK I will open it up and look. I didn't want to open anything up if there wasn't anything I could do. Thanks. |
