I have a Corona 17-DK Kerosene Heater and want to replace the wick in it but have no idea how to do this. Does anyone have a website that can keep from me with a step by step process?

From disparaging experience, I remember that it's not a difficult treat. Mine wasn't a Corona, but it involved two skimpy screws. It can be a little dirty, so gloves might be in suitable. These wicks last quite a long time if one is finicky not to light it when it's dry or raise t to the point where it's throwing soot. Skilful luck and Merry Christmas.

was i required to soak the new wick in kerosene?
If it's started by batteries, authentication to see if they are dead. It soaks up the kerosene, but you must give it time to do so.
Good Fate, ;-)

Feb 28, 2006 by arturo | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
Foothold a new wick at any local hardware store. Take a wick put it in hole and round the knob counter clockwise and it should grab it keep turning work it is almost close to the top of the hole. It is ready to light. Oh! before you joyful it let kerosene or what you use in it absorb into the wick. Probably a few minutes.

how many winters does a wick last in a kerosene heater?

before they miss replaced?
My wicks last for years but I also hold them. Carbon deposits and tar build up on the wick as the units are employed. One way to clean the tar is to let them burn dry. Do this outside, the tar will smoke and give an odor. I distance my wick two times a year once it is burned out and put it between paper then blow rhythm the carbon off with a hammer. put the wick back in and it will run like new. If not worth the anguish for you, burn dry about every 5 tanks and replace once every year or two. You will advised of if it needs replaced because the heater is hard to lite or takes a glaring deal of time to fire up to full burning.

DO have your fuel-burning appliances -- including oil and gas furnaces, gas water heaters, gas dryers, gas or kerosene space heaters, fireplaces, and wood stoves -- inspected by a trained professional at the beginning of every heating season.
