Replacing a Kerosene Heater Wick

If you have a typical kerosene heater, you'll need to change the wick every few years or it will start making a lot of black soot after the wick burns down too much. The wick costs about $10 and it takes 30 minutes to change. Andrea does it all while John tells her what to do!

Thank you! My husband somehow disassembled one of our heaters and couldn’t get it figured out. It’s been sitting in pieces in our garage for a year. Think I’ll try my luck at changing the wick and putting it back together for him.

Can you even imagine the engineering brain thinking that came up with this contraption?

@HappyWifeAcres 2 жыл бұрын

I've had mine for about 20 years and the design hasn't changed much since then or in the previous years it was made. So whoever came up with the design did a super job that didn't need much tweaking! As an older guy, I appreciate when things don't change.

would it be easier to get the new wick over the heater tube if it was wet with kerosene first?

'inco sheets' are good for containing any unwanted kerosine seepage or spillage :)

You didn't make her clean the chimney? I recently bought a used one and spent hours cleaning the spoot. Definitely worth it and definitely a chore to stay on top of. Do you recommend any cleaning agent for this?

The chimney wasn't too bad. A great cleaner is Super Clean. Purple bottles and you can find in big box stores. It cuts through grease and nasty stuff.

I put wick on exactly like u did but when I go wind up wick it don’t go up ? Feels jammed won’t crank why? 😡

@HappyWifeAcres 8 ай бұрын

Do you have the correct size wick? That is the only thing I can think of.

@billweirdo9657 7 ай бұрын

Same thing happened to me. 100% have the correct wick. It's the wick bunching up. The wick didn't smoothly go down all the way. Just lift it back out and play with the wick going down making sure it doesn't bunch at all

I followed all instructions (several times) but each time I could NOT get the damned wick knob to bring the wick up!! Tried 6 times. Tremendously frustrated

@stephensmart5543 6 ай бұрын

I’ve always had to crank it all the way up and then hold it in place so the level doesn’t kick the release and then install the wick as if it’s fully raised up rather than install it down and raise it up. Like you it never raises up.

@ingridmcdonald7644 6 ай бұрын

that might just be the problem! Thank you! I was just too frustrated and smelled of kerosene. I will try it again this weekend. @@stephensmart5543
