What can you do if your patio heater is broken?

A cozy evening in the garden or on the patio can be ruined if your patio heater suddenly stops working. Fortunately, that doesn't always mean you have to buy a new one. In this blog post, we explain what you can do to fix the problem.

1. Check the basics

Before you panic, look at the simple things first:

• Power supply: Is the plug properly inserted into the socket? Does the socket work with another device?

• Switch: Is the power button or remote on?

• Gas cylinder (for gas heaters): Is the cylinder full and properly connected?

2. Clean the patio heater

Dust, cobwebs and dirt can disrupt operation.

• Unplug the appliance or turn off the gas cylinder.

• Carefully clean the reflector and heating elements with a soft cloth.

• Check that no insects or dirt is blocking the ventilation openings.

3. Check the parts

Sometimes it is a small defect that is easy to replace:

• For electric heaters: Check whether the heating element is still intact.

• For gas heaters: Check the igniter and burner.

• Parts such as igniters, elements or buttons are often available separately.
