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 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 the 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 manual reset button (see "Operation &
Maintenance" section for instructions).
1. Adjust thermostat to a higher temperature until heater operates (see Problem #6
if the problem persists).
2. Press the manual reset button (see "Operation & Maintenance" section
for instructions).
3. Position grill so louvers do not press against manual reset button.
4. Turn on the correct circuit breaker in the main panel.
5. Turn off power at circuit breaker. Check supply wire continuity and proper
connection to heater wires.
6. 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 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.
