I have just bought the broan fan, heater, and light.. well the heater was running for about 10 min and the heater light and fan stopped...what do I

sounds like an electrical issue - the unit is designed to have a dedicated electrical line - contact your electrician and if they determine it is a not an electrical issue I would call Broan support for a replacement unit.

Sounds like you tripped a circuit breaker at your electrical panel. These units can require their own fuse breaker because of the power they need.

If the light AND heated failed simultaneously you might have overloaded the circuit breaker. My electrician put in a whole new circuit for the heater wiring so as to not overload the existing light/exhaust fan wiring. I read some reviews of the Broan unit before buying. A few folks reported the heating element failing shortly after installation. I've had mine for almost a year and use the heater regularly. So far no problem. Good luck.

Contact customer service I have heard they are very good about replacing defective units, mine is still working without any problems. I have read about complaints of heater unit failing, I'm crossing my fingers my unit is still working okay.

My heater never lasted through one winter season, we actually bought it in april, used it a few times. it quit working, makes a rattling noise and does not blow any heat. tried to email the company several times, but they never responded. I also called a few times but didn't get through

you have to take the faceplate off the broan fan that's installed and look at it. Look at how the motor fits in the fan and what the tag says (amps, etc.)

I replaced an old broan heater. Turn off at the wall switch. Unscrew existing fasteners. The new unit comes with a hook to aid in hanging it while wiring. I used two wire nuts, bolted back in. Very easy, took 10 minutes.

Hi, Our installer put a plug on the power cord instead of wiring it into the system. I added an extension cord with a power switch that I plug the Broan into. It sits in the cabinet over the Broan. I can just reach it to toggle it- then I have do some button pushing because the Broan comes up in a default mode that turns on the lights. But the noise of the fan is GONE. Good luck. Great exhaust fan and the lights are the best, but a little hard to live with. Sheila D.

Hello, the exact same happened to mine after about 1 year of use. I removed the unit, drained it and opened up the top. On mine, one of the connections from the thermostat to the heating element had broken. I repaired mine with some silver solder and a small butane torch. It's been working great ever since. That was approx 2 years ago. My advice is, it's not working anyway, so just tinker around with it. Just remember to put the heating element in water before you power it up or you may burn it up.

I have the same problem with this heater also. It shuts down after just a few minutes on high and doesn't come back on until it cools down and then you have to manually turn in back on at the lower setting. I am not going to try and fix it but I will solve any future problems with this fan by not ever buying another one and I would not recommend this fan to anyone....It is very annoying!

My problem is If turn OFF the light is turn OFF, but heater is still ON, If you turn ON the heater the light is ON but heater is not ON not heating, sometimes when its ON and Its heating the thermostat numbers moves backward, from 90,85,80,75,and my room temp.showing 90degree Its funny ... I called Mickey Mouse Honeywell Heater, Ha,Ha,Ha, My Heater is just 2 months old, My Heater too make metal bending noise, I have to plug and unplug my heater every time from the wall socket to turn On and turn OFF ...to me Its a dangerous heater !!

Yeah had the same issue. Headed up with in 10 mins of use. The manual does mention not to use it for prolonged periods though. Mine didn't last too long after it started heating up

FYI, I have two of these fans and the one in my master bedroom started to have problems. during the recent heatwave, I had the fan running on high speed. after a while it started getting louder and would turn off randomly. I would turn the light switch off, wait a minute and then turn it back on. I really like the fan but honestly, next time I buy ceiling fans, I'm going to get a better brand.

Look elsewhere. The fan has a hard time keeping 147sq ft room warm. It constantly running and never hits the temperature.

The fan is in the "Timer Mode". This can be set from 1-16 hours. If the timer was turned on and the fan was not running at the time, the fan will not start until the timer turns off. If the timer mode is turned on when the fan IS running, it will run until the set time has laps. To get out of this mode, push the MODE key at any time. Look at the fan digital display, by pressing the Mode button, it will show, 1,2,3 this is fan speeds, press the Mode button again and the display will show, A1,A2,A3 this is in the Auto Mode and the thermostat will turn on or off the fan at a given temperature, 1=low, 2=med, 3=high. good luck

My first guess is the thermostat. (Look for the dial). If you want your heater to stay on, turn the dial up just a bit. If you want it cooler, turn the dial down. If the heater is tripping a circuit or GFI in a nearby bathroom, unplug something. Other than that, I can't help.

Mine stopped working after a year as well. Turns out this is kind of a common problem, and the only published fix is to send it in to Honeywell, at your expense (to send it and receive it). For that much money and effort, you're better off buying a better, more reliable space heater.

Hello, You might try to unplug it from the wall outlet for a minute and plug it back in again. If it doesnt work try it again. If that doesnt help your control thermostat on the front panel on the unit might be defective. I never liked the Lifesmart Heaters because mine was bought defective right out of the box new. It increased my electric bill too because it ran constantly. I will never buy another one again. If you need a new thermostat control you have to take the whole unit apart. If you have some warranty left on it they might fix it at the factory if you ship it to them. My Lifesmart Heater has a help number located on the back panel or check your owners manual. I hope this helps you out. Hello, You might try to unplug it from the wall outlet for a minute and plug it back in again. If it doesnt work try it again.

Good Luck, the 1st cooler we bought from Haier it didn't heat up. So they shipped us a 2nd one and that one didn't get cold. The 3rd one was cracked. After that we just went elsewhere. I would check to see if the thermostat is up? There might be a switch to activate the coldness
