Troubleshooting Chart

Problem
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. Defective thermostat.
3. Thermostat wired incorrectly to heater.
1. Dust, lint or other matter is
accumulated inside heater.
2. Poor or loose electrical connections.
1. Defective motor or internal connection.
2. Fan or motor jammed.
1. Thermostat set too low.
2. Heater has tripped the manual reset
temperature limit control.
3. Power not on at the circuit breaker.
4. Broken or poorly connected wire(s)
to heater.
5. Defective thermostat .
1. Dust, lint or other matter has
accumulated inside heater.
2. Airflow is blocked.
3. Fan or motor is jammed.
4. None of the above.
Solution
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 in the circuit.
3. Shorted supply or heater wires may be accompanied by severe sparking. Inspect
all supply and heater wi ring 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 circuit is rated for more capacity).
2. Adjust thermostat to its lowest setting. If heater continues to run (allow two
minutes for the thermostat to respond) and room temperature is greater than
50 degrees; replace thermostat.
3. Refer to thermostat documentation and correct wiring.
1. Clean heater (see "Operation & Maintenance" section for instructions).
2. Turn off power at circuit breaker. Inspect all supply and heater wire connections
to make sure nothing is loose or poorly connected. Secure or reconnect all loose
connections. Do not reset circuit breaker until all connections have been checked
and repaired.
1. Heater or fan motor requires replacement.
2. Remove obstruction and press heater manual reset button after allowing
the unit to cool.
1. Adjust thermostat to a higher temperature unti l heater operates
(see Problem #5 below 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. The entire heater, or any of its components may be checked for continuity
to determine the cause of any problem. Repair or replace the heater.
1. Clean heater (see "Operation & Maintenance" section for instructions.)
2. Remove obstruction. Maintain a minimum distance of 6" from any inside corner
or adjacent surfaces, and 3' 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.
