Yes, I guess it would, but the burner running without a useful draft seems like it would be a really noticeable fault.

Unfortunately nothing that looks useful (although I've looked), but Mr. Heater sells something arranged to work with the fittings for their portable unvented heaters.

Interesting, but carbon monoxide (CO) won't smother the flame (just kills living things). Too much carbon dioxide (CO2) would smother (by displacing oxygen), but there's no way to produce more carbon...

It could come in through the vent louvers on the left side of the door (so the air would go in, then down to the burner), but I think the primary path is through the lower part of the big vent on the...

Maybe worth checking... A faulty high (temperature) limit switch would turn the burner off, but would it turn back on? And how would that explain the flame going down, rather than just flicking off?

:laugh:
If this is really the solution, it means that the fix will probably involve a few cycles of trial-and-error: adjusting the electrode, closing the door to test, and repeating.

That makes sense for appliance having an ignition problem, but (to me) doesn't immediately explain why having the heater door open would help. :confused:

The clicking noise would presumably be the ignitor sparking, unsuccessfully trying to light the burner. The cycle is likely the controls trying to relight the flame, with a delay to allow excess...
