Any luck? The propane tanks work on other things like grill?
Discussion
No dice. I'm going on 7 hours of back and forth, bleeding lines, checking connections, fiddling with stuff...
Yes, I even tried a third tank (pulled off my griddle) to try.
I got the dryer to get warm, but by the time I noticed it was warm, it had lost flame again.
For a while it would light briefly and die out.
I thought maybe it was the lack of regulator making it die out, so I swapped hoses for one with a regulator, and ever since then it's been back to square one: nothing.
Could have crud or bugs in the pilot gas tube. They seem to like to crawl into propane pipes. Maybe take a blow torch and clean off the thermocouple in case there is grease or carbon built up on it. Or clean thermocouple with paper. Make sure there isn't a draft blowing the flame away from the thermocouple .
I guess I'll have to give that a shot.
I don't have time to take everything apart again this weekend, so that'll have to be a next-weekend thing.
