Troubleshooting for your Heater

Trouble	Probable Cause	Solution
• Heater Does Not Turn On.	☛ Tip-over switch engaged (only applicable on models with tip-over protection). ☛ Manual user reset is activated. ☛ Not plugged in properly. ☛ Electrical outlet does not hold plug in securely. ☛ Thermostat set too low. ☛ Obstruction causing the heater not to operate. ☛ Circuit breaker trips.	✔ Set heater upright on a level surface. ✔ Follow reset instructions listed in this manual. ✔ Ensure plug is properly inserted. Make sure electrical outlet and circuit breaker are working. ✔ Have outlet replaced by a licensed electrician. ✔ Turn Thermostat Control clockwise until the heater restarts. ✔ Unplug the heater and remove all obstructions. Position your heater 36 inches (91cm) away from all objects. ✔ Make sure no other high wattage appliances are operating on the same circuit and reset breaker if needed.
• Not Enough Heat.	☛ Heater is in Low Heat or 1 setting. ☛ Thermostat set too low.	✔ Change setting to 2 (High Heat). ✔ Turn Thermostat Control clockwise until the heater restarts.
• Heater Cycles ON and OFF Frequently.	☛ The thermostat automatically turns the heater on and off to maintain selected comfort level.	✔ To make this occur less frequently adjust the thermostat control clockwise to the highest setting.
• Heater is Blowing Cold Air.	☛ Mode Control is set to Fan only setting.	✔ Turn Mode Control to the 1 (Low Heat) or 2 (High Heat) setting.
• Fan Speed Doesn’t Change.	☛ High Heat and Low Heat settings control the heat output of the heater and not the fan speed. Fan runs at the same speed on all settings.	✔ Run heater in the “2” setting (High Heat) for maximum heat output.
• Unexpected Noise.	☛ You may hear a popping or crackling sound as the heater heats up. This is normal and safe operation. Once the heater heats up, the crackling sound will go away.	✔  If the noise persists call Sunbeam®  at 1-888-264-9669.
• Unexpected Smell.	☛ There may be an odor or vapor coming from the heater the first time you use it or after prolonged or seasonal storage.	✔ This is normal and is the result of dust or other debris accumulating on the heating element. Make sure the heater is in a well ventilated area and continue running until the odor or vapor goes away.
