Try removing front guard[grill]; use vacuum cleaner in reverse[ blower] and touch nozzle to ceramic burner. Dust will shoot out of back of ceramic. Keep blowing, moving nozzle all about surface of ceramic. This may return all 3 ceramics to almost as new condition.

I don't mean to be rude but you are testing it in the dark? And it doesn't glow? If so I would contact Amazon if you bought it from them and get your money back. It worked great on my items so I'm thinking you must have a defective can.my items

I haven't but it sounds like maybe the female connector(part that plugs into your power supply) may be too open(causing a poor contact with the male part(pin) in your power supply. You could try(WITH CORD NOT PLUGGED IN) sticking something like a ice pick and bending the round metal part that makes contact with your power supply to make a smaller tighter circle. Don't make it too small that you can't fit the pin from your power supply in the plug, just a little may work. That or if you haven't had it very long, call saying the one you got is defective. Things like this cord are very cheap and probably not tested as well as they should be, the sparking/arcing is caused by a intermittent poor connection. Probably not a fire risk but it could cause your power supply to fail prematurely.

No. That might be happening because you have the Valve set too low. Try setting it a little higher, then reduce the flame to desired flame

I purchased one. It has been burning almost continuously from time purchased. Works for me.

Sounds like a defect. I have never had that problem. The bottom element always turns on and heats up for me.

I have had mine for about 2 years. The one I just purchased was a present for my daughter. No fire.

I think so. I used mine over the holiday weekend and it was the right side that would not light immediately. However when I shield it more from the wind by moving the pan and crank the igniter it would always light. Don't be shy with the igniter.

You will have to watch the furnace try to cycle, if you hear a click and the ignitor does not glow/get hot, then it is the ignitor. If the ignitor starts to glow, then there is something else wrong.

My personal experience is that when I first fill my tank I have an issue with the torch having very little power. But after using it for a bit, it suddenly takes off and starts working at full power. I have no idea if it is due to a flow regulator or not.

I did and it stays on and no fire so far. You maybe can check with manufacture.

I have had similar problems with mine. I have to play with the flame size adjustment on the bottom of the insert. I've also had issue with the insert not wanting to recharge it's butane. Over all I am unhappy with this lighter insert.

when your furnace starts the ignitor should glow if not has to be replaced it could be your flame sensor

Probably one element is burned out, or the temperature sensor defect. Don't break the seal if it is still in warranty and don't buy another they are JUNK AND don't expect any help on warranty from the company.

Occasionally I have to try a few times, but usually it's not a problem. I have had a lot more trouble with lighters and I have found that if I hold the lighter upright (not the correct position to fill) connect to the fill can and then open the lighter (as if to start) and let it blow through for a few seconds, it usually lights afterwards.

I bought two lamps. One is still working perfectly. The other one was also working just fine until about a month ago and it blew out as well. Still waiting to hear about any resolution to the issue.

I did. I was just not as "forceful" with it. I just went over the burner lightly, removing as much of the gunk as I could. It didn't seem to affect it at all. Of course, I did end up getting the "sparker" wet, but once it dried (I just sparked it a few times) it lit right up. Haven't had any issues with any of it at all.
