Re: i have a rllp35a propane heater and it will ignite
Either the thermocouple is bad or the pilot flame is not hitting the thermocouple .if the flame is hitting the thermocouple correctly it is most likely that it is bad and needs to be replaced

If the red button has to be held down for a period of time to get the heater going it overrides the shutoff mechanism. If you are holding it the prescibed amount of time then either the hydraulic system which keeps your unit running is bad or out of place or the metering valve is bad. Check for a copper line with a bulb on the end. It should probably be in the fire created by the heater, if not bend it to be in the heat or very close. If this is ok then you may need to get a new burner for the unit which would probably mean buying an entire new unit as the cost would probably exceed the cost of a new unit. Let me know how you make out.
THERMO COUPLER, COPPER PEICE INSIDE TUBE MAKE SURE THE FLAME IS IN CONTACT WITH THIS PEICE, 99 PERCENT OF THE TIME IF A UNIT HEATER, WATER HEATER ETC WILL NOT STAY ON AND DOES WHEN YOU HOLD IT IN IT IS THE THERMO COUPLER
you need to replace the thermocouple at the burner tip it will be a copper line with a bulb in the flame tip with a copper tube leading back to the gas valve and it senses the flame and keeps the gas valve open
the thermocouple is bad.it needs to send a signal to the gas valve to say it's okay to stay running.replace it and the problem should go away.if not let me know
