Symptom
Problem
Solution
Breaker trips immediately
upon energizing heater.
Heater fan operates,
but does not discharge
warm air.
Heater will not shut off.
Heater discharges smoke
or emits a burnt odor.
Element heats for a
moment without the fan
turning, then immediately
stops heating.
Heater does not run.
Troubleshooting Chart
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.
4. (Model CT only) One of the heater
units must be reset.
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 manual
high-temperature reset control.
3. Heater has tripped the secondary
over-temperature switch.
4. Power not on at the circuit breaker.
5. Broken or poorly connected wire(s)
to heater.
6. Defective thermostat.
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.
4. CT models have two heating units with independent over-temperature
controls. One of the high-temperature reset switches may trip and cut power
to one of the heating units, while the other remains running, resulting in only
half output. Reset the heater unit that is not operating (see “Operation &
Maintenance” section for instructions).
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 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 #6
if the problem persists).
2. Press the manual reset button (see “Operation & Maintenance” section for
instructions).
3. A severe over-temperature condition has occurred. Repair or replace heater.
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 problems. Repair or replace the heater.
