Troubleshooting Chart

1.Incorrect supply voltage.
2.Overloaded circuit.

3.A short circuit exists in the supply

or heater wiring.

4.Defective circuit breaker.

1.Insufficient element temperature.
2.Incorrect supply voltage.
3.Element has failed.

1.Heat loss from room is greater

than heater capacity.

2.Thermostat is not functioning

properly.

1.Dust, lint or other matter has

accumulated inside heater.

1.Defective motor or internal connection.

2.Fan or motor jammed.

1.Thermostat is set too low, or

in disabled (no heat) position.

2.Heater has tripped the manual

high-temperature reset switch.

3.Power not on at the circuit breaker.
4.Broken or poorly connected wire(s)

to heater.

5.Defective thermostat and/or timer.

1. Dust, lint or other matter has

accumulated inside heater.

2. Airflow is blocked.

3. Fan or motor is ja mmed.

4. None of the above.

1. Verify that supply voltage matches the heater rating.
2. The total amperage of all heaters on a branch circuit must not be more than

80% of the amperage rating of the circuit breaker and supply wire ratings.
Use a lower wattage heater, or reduce the number of heaters on the circuit.

3. Shorted supply or heater wires may be accompanied by severe sparking. Inspect

all supply and heater wiring insulation for damage. Do not reset the circuit breaker

until all electrical shorts have been repaired.

4. Replace the circuit breaker.

1. Allow a few moments for element to reach operating temperature.
2. Verify that supply voltage matches the heater rating.
3. Replace element.

1. Close doors and windows. Provide additional insulation, or install a higher wattage

heater or multiple heaters if necessary. (If your circ uit is rated for more capacity.)

2. Wait for the timer to time-out or turn the timer counterclockwise to `0’ (The timer

overrides the thermostat setting). If heater continues to run, adjust thermostat
to its lowest setting. If heater continues to run (allow two minutes for thermostat

to respond) the thermostat requires replacement.

1. Clean heater (See “Operation & Maintenance” section for instruction s).

1. Heater or fan motor requires replacement.
2. Remove obstruction and press heater reset button (after allowing the unit to cool).

Test heater operation--if reset button has been pressed (be sure to listen and feel
for a click indicating it has been reset), but heater does not run, heater requires

repair or replacement.

1. Adjust thermostat to a higher temperature until heater operates (See Problem #5

if the problem persists).

2. Press the manual reset button (See “Operation & Maintenance” section for

instructions).

3. Turn on the correct circuit breaker in the main panel.
4. Turn off power at circuit breaker. Check supply wire continuity and proper connection

to heater wires.

5. Repair or replace the heater. The entire heater, or any of its components may be

checked for continuity to determine the cause of any problem.

1. Clean heater (See “Operation & Maintenance” section for instructions).

2. Remove obstruction. Maintain a minimum distance of 6 inches from adjacent

surfaces, 4.5 inches from the floor, and 3 feet for furniture or other objects
placed directly in front of the heater.

3. Remove obstruction, and press heater manual reset button (See “Operation &

Maintenance” section for instructions) .

4. Replace heater assembly .

WARNING

Turn the electrical power off at the electrical panel board (circuit breaker or fuse box) and lock or tag the panel
board door to prevent someone from turning on power while you are working on the heater. Failure to do so could

result in serious electrical shock, burns, or possible death.
