Monitor 441

Thanks Hay,

St.Regis Falls? How's the weather- snicker, snicker - ? I was born in Newcomb, grew up in the snow belt and moved to Virginia 3 years ago. Left my snowblower near Syracuse

Anywho , I needed a cartridge for the external filter and the guy at my local "has everything" hardware told me what is probably wrong with my heater.

He said the burner gets distorted and touches a rod and the fuel switches off. Actually,his pencil diagram makes more sense than my explanation.

So tomorrow's project is to take apart that area and see what is what. It is also an opportunity to get rid of any soot/carbon build-up.

I'll report back if/if not successful.

Arne - I have a monitor 41 which is one series BELOW the 441. I do all my servicing on the heater. I have a pdf file for the 441 which I could email to you. as far as a repair manual, you'll never get one. NO ONE on this green earth will EVER sell you one. I tried to get one through MPI but since I'm not an authorized dealer, no way. Some replacement gaskets I was able to get from mc master- carr industrial supply and a piece of boro-silicate glass for the view port.

Have a Monitor 441, about 10+ years old. It came with the house . This is a kerosene vented heater.

Last night the outside temp was about 8F and the unit stopped working.

The fire ring will burn but shortly after the heat exchanger fan goes on, the fire goes out and the unit shuts down. The flame is a nice steady blue.

Referring to manual , I cleaned internal fuel filter. Checked level of fuel in tank.

Removed external fuel filter and cleaned filter insert. Fuel appeared to be running fine from tank to filter.

It is VERY difficult to get info on this heater, such as repair manual.

I don't have the cash to replace the unit before Spring.

What can I do to diagnose and fix??????????
