    I have a ritetemp gas space heater and it's not working
    The pilot light is lit until the blowing cycle goes off then it doesn't work . The electric ignitor doesn't work anymore. I have to light it manually.

    What kind of electric lighter do you have. Is it a spark system or a hot surface ignitor. And is you pilot normally lit all the time or just when your thermostat is turned up?
    Let me know.

    I usually have a electric ignitor for the pilot light but it's broken so now I do it manually. The pilot light usually stays on all the time when in use. The problem is that the pilot light goes out after the blower goes off. I have it set up right now where the heater stays on all the time and the blower doesn't come on at all. Also sometimes the pilot light goes off after I turn it down. I've talked to RiteTemp but they say they only do thermostats. I don't know where to go to find parts or if the company who made it is still in business.
