When you get the new wick, it usually has the instructions with it.

But basically you take apart the cage so you can get to the wick, then take apart

the wick holder.

Go to this website, it has a nice diagram of a wick being replaced, so it will give you a good idea of how to get it done, you can also try going to the website of the MFG of your heater, sometimes they have a nice diagram of replacement.

How does a kerosene heater heat?

A kerosene heater has a wick made of fiberglass that is connected to a kerosene tank. When the wick is lit, the kerosene keeps the wick burning, and a convection unit in the heater uses the flame to heat the air. In some kerosene heaters, there is a fan to blow the heated air into the room to heat it faster.

How do you replace the wick on a model 23dk corona kerosene heater?

Replacing the wick in ANY kerosene heater is explained, in detail, and usually with illustrations, in the instruction sheet provided with the replacement wick. I have a Corona 22-DK and purchased a new wick from Ace Hardware (American Wick Company) product I'm pretty sure. The instructions gave me all the help I needed. Important additional information: 1. Burn ONLY 1K kerosene - A.K.A. Clear or Low Sodium Kerosene, the red stuff will ruin your wick quickly. 2. Be sure to keep 10 square inches of window venting the room with the heater, very important! 3. It is recommended to run your heater dry every once in a while, allegedly to maintain wick health; I don't do this and have not had problems. 4. When disassembling your tank, use your digital camera (phone) to take pictures as you go, reassembly will be MUCH easier if you do. Some parts can go back in more than one way, especially the wick riser mechanism, you'll need to see the picture you took to get it back the same way so that it works right. I had to disassemble mine a second time to fix this part because, although I did take the picture, I failed to look at it during reassembly. I thought I knew how it went back in but when I had it all back together the wick would not rise up high enough to light it.


Can dyna-glo kerosene heater be lit with match if electric lighter won't work?

Yes, but I would use one of the long lighters. I just lit mine that way the other day. I just bought a new wick today and hopefully I can go back to using the button when I replace the wick. Not certain, though.


Can you use a kerosene heater after its been sitting for a year?

Yes, but do the following first. Drain all the old kerosene out and discard safely. Check the burner or wick assembly for any damage. If you have a Kero-sun type or any type with an electric ignition by all means take out the old batteries and replace with new. Now fill your heater with fresh kerosene, just a little at first, take the heater outside, and give it a start. If it ignites well let it run for about 5 minutes and turn off, and then after it cools fill it up as you would normally. Be careful and use it well ventilated spaces.
