IF the flame lights when it starts, and
IF the fan blows some hot air before shutting down,
then check the intake and exhaust ports for blockage (i.e. wasp nest).
You may have to disconnect the propane line and electrical connections and pull the unit inside to inspect and access the ports.
Suggest NOT poking a wire into the ports unless the unit is removed and the ports are pointing towards the ground. Then gravity is your friend. (I had to use very long needle nose pliers to clear mine)
And bubble test the propane fitting after reconnecting.
