1976 Minnie Winnie RD23 heater

[Lee Buschman]

We just acquired a 1976 Minnie Winnie RD23 that had sat for at least seven years. Everything works very well accept for the brakes, the seals leak from sitting but that's not a big problem as we don't intend on going anywhere for some time. The big problem is the Coleman model 4225A propane heater. It came on, blew out a huge cloud of nasty smoke and turned off. I cleared a wasp nest out of the exhaust but probably didn't get it all. The heater came back on worked for a few minutes and shut down as the blower won't come on. Is there an easy way to get at the blower fan and see if it's full of debris? Any other ideas? All fuses are fine. Everything else on the 12v system works.

Thank you,

Lee

Hi Lee, I would take it apart and give it a cleaning.But most times you are going to have to pull it out of where its mounted.
