TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If sauna heater does not operate after initial installation and wiring
Check breaker to be sure it is on.
Be sure timer is set properly and is “on”. (Step #9)
2. If sauna heater operates but sauna room does not come up to temperature
Check to be sure breaker is on.
Check to see that the timer has not wound down. If so, reset.
Are the stones placed loosely around the elements? Stones packed too tightly can re strict airflow and
reduce heating capacity.
Check for heat loss. Are the high vents closed? Are the floor drains plugged? Are the hinges of the door
tight?
Check high limit reset button below heater.
3. If sauna heater has been in operation but then ceases to operate.
Allow at least 30 minutes for sauna to heat up.
Is the thermometer/hygrometer located on the wall opposite the heater, 12” down from the top of the
sauna room? Temperature readings will vary, but the proper place to measure the temperature is about
12” from the top of the room.
Was the proper wire size and amp size used?
HIGH LIMIT CONTROL
Your Harvia Heater is equipped with a built-in high-limit control, which is a safety device. If an abnormal
heating condition should occur, the heater will automatically shut off. Once the room as cooled, manually
reset the heater by pushing the reset button.
To reset the high-limit, locate the reset button on the bottom front of the heater. Push the button upwards
until you hear a click, which indicates that the heater is again activated. If the reset button continues to trip,
give us a call at 304-497-3991. Be sure a GFCI was NOT installed.
