This house heating unit has been restored. I caution
against painting the heater core. Although I used "high
heat" paint, it did flake, peel, and smell! After a few hours
of running (the smell of which about ran us out), the odor was tolerable.
The temperature sensor in the top left is a tricky device. A metal cover encloses the entire front of this heater. The only escapes for heat are through the duct work, or the spacing around the sensor. When the sensor trips due to high heat, the gas intake is blocked, essentially forcing the unit off. |
| The safety shut-off was too sensitive. It is located in the top right of this picture, and has two wires running to it. Once tripped, the safety would shut-off the supply of gas to the unit. Restarting could not be done for a while. The safety was moved back, allowing some heated air to escape. This simple fix resolved the problem. |  |
