TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Please read this guide prior to contacting OMEGA. This guide is designed to 
answer the most commonly asked questions.  If you are unable to identify the 
problem or need additional assistance, please contact us at 1-800-USA-HEAT.

PROBLEM

SOLUTION(S)

Does not heat

Verify heater is connected to proper voltage. The 
identifi cation label located on the power cord displays 
the heater’s voltage requirement.

Check to see if there is a resistance reading (not an 
open circuit) in heater using an ohm meter.

Circuit breaker is tripping

Validate that the circuit breaker is capable of handling 
the amp requirement of heater. The identifi cation 
label located on the power cord displays the heater’s 
amperage requirement.

Examine heater and cord for any damage.

Does not fi t

Confi rm that the heater provided was designed to fi t 
around your specifi ed drum.

If the heater was designed for the specifi ed drum, 
please call 1-800-USA-HEAT for further assistance.

Something has lightly spilled on exterior 
or  interior

Apply any general household cleaner, that does not 
contain any silicone rubber dissolving type
ingredients, with a clean cloth fabric.
