My heater does not seem to be getting hot enough. My unit is probably 3 years old. Can this be fixed?

It is well past the warranty so that course of action is out. I believe you can contact the company customer service department and ask about repair - you will probably have to pay shipping both ways and the cost of repair. Check first to ensure it doesn't cost you more to repair than to replace.

Mine has been in storage for a while so I can't remember how I got mine to work, but I had a few issues when I first set it up and it wasn't heating properly. First, check to make sure the base is seated properly, the arrows need to be lined up properly, if you cleaned or moved it that might be the problem. So, I'd check that first, then if the arrows are lined up, I'd check the remote and make sure you are adjusting the heater and not the cooling temperatures. If I remember correctly the numbers and remote colors are coordinated so red is heat and blue is cool. I hope it helps!

We've not had this problem. I'm sure I don't need to say it, but perhaps a good filter cleaning would help. Maybe there's some manufacturing residue on it or something like that. I hope you're able to resolve this issue because it truly is a great heater.

We tried everything with this heater. Even a new wick. It just doesn't work well and it is VERY smelly, as in the smell of kerosene.good luck

When we had a similar problem, it turned out that one of the two heating elements was corroded through. (We have well water.) We had both elements replaced, and so far so good. This happened after we'd had the water heater for several years. If yours is fairly new, it could be a lemon. Hope you can get the problem fixed.

Take the plug apart. You will find a fuse there. Replace it. If this doesn't work, the heater element is burned out, and you'll have to buy a new one. Typically these things last about 2 to 3 years. Good luck.

Hello Jackie, to be honest it's a small margin for error with this heater. My heater still works and some times the temperature settings work. And when it does, it's because I have somehow lucked -up in getting it to work. Sorry, I'm sure this was of no great help; good luck

Yes. We have 2 units that the heating element went out. You might be better to shop around some more.

We had one and in order to fix that problem, it had to be shipped back to the company, packed in a exact way and they supposedly would reset it. Ours was only 1 yr. old and we had used it 3 months during the winter. We paid more for a better warranty and we ended up just junking it. Good luck as we were not happy with the iHeater.

Mine has been doing that also. I don't know what is going on with it. I don't know of any recalls on these heaters.

Is this a new unit? If it is, you might consider warranty repair. If it's been in service for a while, I would look at the unit while hot water is running to see if you have plenty of flame coming from the burners. I've never had problems with the water being only warm on my unit, usually too hot.

You would have to call the mfg. about that. 1 yr. sounds about right. We didn't like the way it worked, so I sent it back. The heat went straight up from the vent, & didn't heat the small room we had it in. I purchased it because the reviews were good. Maybe I just got a lemon!

I had an old one that I replaced due to getting hot water on cold side that lasted about about 15 seconds -there should only be a few seconds of hot coming out of the cold side so if it take more time there may be something wrong with the unit - mine is fine now. good luck- Steve

We have used ours for 2 years now. So far no problem w/ the heater. We did have a problem where something got stuck and melted much of the unit. I contacted the manufacturer and they were very good about repairing my unit. I have actually had a couple of problems, the other was some board went out. Again, they were very good about replacing the board. I have not had a problem in a while, so I don't know if they would still be so good, but we do LOVE our machine!

Your heater is broken. This happened to me as well. I've gone through a lot of steam cleaners, but this had the shortest life span.

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.
