The temperature in my room is 70 degrees. I turn on the heater and set to 78. It never gets the room to 78, but,after just a few seconds it goes off

I had similar problem when i first used it. I called them and they sent me a new power circuit board. it took an hour to install the new one. that unit is NOT a good at all. it is not worth the money.

I honestly believe that is a defect - UNLESS you have a draft, then it is due to the draft. You can check for drafts using a candle, cigarette even, or incense. I have had mine in a motor home that was drafty and it would kick on and off because it was set too low so first try to raise the heater temp to the max (we had to do that and it didn't cost much either compared to our other heater). THEN if it still kicks on and off I would contact the company - we are going on 2 years with ours in Eastern WA state where it is very cold. Now that I am in a place with no draft, it doesn't kick on and off as much, lol.Hope that helps :) I honestly believe that is a defect - UNLESS you have a draft, then it is due to the draft.

I don't know. I keep my house at 62 degrees and let this heater run around 78, and it runs for an hour or more. It only shuts down for a while after the room is very warm. Then when the room temp drops the heater turns on again. Maybe try turning up the heater to 80 or more. I would try to make sure the heater can run for over 30 minutes before it shuts down due to the room temperature being warm enough.

Call Lifesmart. They will send you a new circuit board that you have to install yourself. Good luck. I gave up on this flawed product.

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 ...

Turn heater on and let it run for a minute to produce heat. Then touch the set Button> It will display the temp. > the heater is set at and flash. Use the up and down buttons to set desired temp. Then touch the set button to lock it in. This heater does not constantly display temp, the panel will go off, but the heater is still on the auto setting. I do not like this heater as much as my higher end Comfort ZONE Heater, but for the price it does OK. There should be no codes, sometimes if you set the timer the 1hr looks like a code, if you want to use the timer, follow the instructions, they didn,t to to bad regarding that feature...

did you turn up the dial to maximum heating temp?.sometimes it gets turned down by error. IF it is all the way up...check the electric going to the heater...(that it is on) IF good..they it burned out....get a new one...

I love this heater. My son has one and I always used it when I go to his house. My room is 12 x 12 but I just turn is on 70 and heat the bedroom before I go to bed. When I get in bed I turn it down to 65. It comes on if it gets below that. If you want the room to stay really warm all the time it will run all the time. I am in Calif and we have been having a very mild winter.

If you have it in a bedroom or a room with the door closed it will heat the room up to 70 degrees and keep the room at that temperature. It has an energy savings mode as well and will shut down and as soon as the room drops below the desired degree turn back on. It's really a great little heater.

it depends on what temperature you put it on or number just don't put maximum as soon as you get it will just brake i found out it will set off the fire alarm and smoke,give some time to warm up slowly then your good to go.It will stay on until the room is warm then switch off and turn back when the room temperature start to drop a time stays on a whole week if you room is not well insulated.

Either the thermostat is set to low or it may be defective. Also the heater needs some outside air or it will shut off. Good Luck!!

The unit has an automatic shutoff that can be set for various temperatures. I have set it to "maximum" and, although the shutoff temperature is not specified, based on my experience it must be well above 80. I don't know, however, what temperature it will not heat above.

I don't use the "follow me" function, but I found the same thing on the two units I own. That is, if I want the room temp to be 78, I have to set the air conditioner to 74. No big deal. Not surprising, I think.

I have never used the timer but if you set the temp. it will automatically heat up the room until it reaches that temp. then it will automatically turn off. I have it run in my kids room at night, I set the temp to low 70 and it will continue to heat all night and turn off automatically. The temp gage it a little off. I have a Thermometer in my kids room that says the room is 67 when the heater is set to 70. I like it because it is safe with the tip over switch and it has a energy save mode.

The heater is not adjustable and if you want it on you have to turn it on. It turns off at 140 degrees.

well it all depends how big is your room and how cold is outside! mine works perfectly and the temperature changes constantly. your's might be defective too!

I had to ask the manufacturer the same question and the reply was "yes, on at 32* and off at approximately 45*" It is interesting that in none of their literature is this mentioned. I'd think that might be something a potential buyer might like to know. I have not verified the temperature range but this is what I was told by the manufacturer. So far however the heater is doing it's job very nicely.

This heater works best in a closed off room versus trying to heat an entire house. I use mine in master (20x20) bedroom over top garage. It has no problem keeping the room around 72 degrees. The thermostat on unit is off by 5 degrees for some reason.

Both answers below are correct. We use our heater in a small bathroom that gets very chilly in the morning. The thermostat dial on the side is labeled 1-3 with 3 as the warmest setting. I would agree that set on 3 with the door closed, the room would probably warm to approx 85 degrees in short order. If left on 1, the heater would cycle on and off at around 60 degrees. Hope that helps.
