Identifying the component problem(s) with Reddy Heater. I purchased a used 150,000 btu unit - old style with spark plug design. Plug it in at home and it fired up. Low on kerosene - added 5 gallons. Plugged it in and nothing. No motor/fan, clicking - nothing. I tore it apart and wish to bench-test the motor - per the photo. It has 3 wires from the motor - black, white and red. Can I apply 110 voltage to which wires to test the motor without damage?

Is there any circuit breakers? Do you, or are there any wiring schematics on the machine to give you any info, or guidance?

Did you reset the breaker on the back?

Kick it,that's how most people I get them to run! Hahaha

I don't see a problem doing it. Be careful, but first I would see if power is at the motor by using one of those circuit testing pens that light up or a multimeter

I put everything back together. I swapped out the reset control button from another junked heater and the 'flame on' sensor. Works great. I wish to thank everyone for their input.
