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 has
accumulated inside heater.
1. Defective motor or internal
connection.
2. Fan or motor jammed.
1. Thermostat set too low.
2. Heater has tripped the
high-temperature reset switch.
3. Power not on at the circuit breaker.
4. Broken or poorly connected
wire(s) to heater.
5. Defective thermostat.
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 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 (ex. 240V to 240V or 120V to 120V).
3. Replace element.
1. Close doors and windows. Provide additional insulation, or install
a higher-wattage heater or multiple heaters if necessary.
2. Adjust thermostat to its lowest setting. If heater continues to run,
replace thermostat.
3. Refer to thermostat documentation and correct wiring.
1. Clean heater (see "Operation & Maintenance" section for instructions).
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 heater 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 problems. Repair or replace the heater.
