Then call the manufacturer and give them the model number and serial number of your unit. It looks like that may be installed in a closet within a bathroom. That’s illegal. I suggest having the gas heater replaced with an electric model.

So I have a problem with the install even if it was working as intended.

Click to expand... I agree, flame shouldn’t shoot out of a sealed burner system like that.
