Is there a reset button on the broan model 157 bath heater

I honestly don't know. I have never had to use it as the product has worked extremely well and I am very pleased with it.

i do not know why you would need a reset button if you uses a 15 or 30 minute timer and 15 amp breaker. i would contact broan at 800-558-1711 or broan.com with any questions about the heater.

If you mean like a fuse or GFI type of reset no. I have it on a circuit for the bathroom, that had powered a small light with a switch.

Thermo-coupling needs to be replaced or look for a reset button near the pilot housing.

There are two buttons on the plug that you push to reset, if that's what you are wondering.Or, if you're asking about this... once you turn the unit off, when you turn it on again, the temperature remains set.Hope one of these answered your question.

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.

I find nothing in user manuals, and have never had occasion to get into the reset. Knock wood, the machine has rocked along for two years.Sorry I cannot help. H. Schulte.

That was one of my concerns too. I just unplug it. There is no indication in the book. I've tried holding down the reset button. Doesn't work.

You have to manually reset it. On my fridge you have to hold a button down until it turns off.

No problems at all so far. The manual does mention a reset button on the bottom. I have not needed to use it either.

No, this is a strictly mechanical switch, you need to manually reset timer after power failure. I have been using this combination of timer and electric water heater for close to 30 years and believe it is even superior to the current fad of "on-demand" heaters.

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.

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.

Yes. There's a button on the bottom and if the heater isn't sitting flat, pushing this button in, it will turn off.

I am not sure, but I don't think there was a button. I reused my old button to avoid getting wires through walls. Unit works fine, bells weaker than the 35 year old unit it replaced, they don't make them like they used to.

I am sorry Hermann,,I never found a "reset" button. I suspect there isn't one !?!?

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.

Before you spend to replace parts, try to fix it yourself. Unscrew the top and take it off so you can see inside. You will have to lift out the water container to get the top off so you can look into it. (After unplugging it, of course!) There are three thermostats, two on the top and one on the side of the boiler. Locate the side one, there is a red button on the top of this thermostat. Press this button. You may not hear a thing, but do it anyway. Now replace the top, plug in and see if it works. This is a reset button--the boiler may have overheated. If it doesn't work, at least you tried! Then you can looks for somewhere to spend your money trying to get it fixed. Will Rancilio do anything for you as far as repairs? One other thing I should mention, if it is heating (feels warm on top on the lid when you touch it), but no water comes out, you may have to prime it. Fill with water, make sure both plastic tubes are to the bottom of the water container, turn on the middle switch of the three on the left, then turn on steam wand handle counter clockwise, now turn on power. (Main switch) In about 15 seconds a stream of water should come out of the wand, so have a glass under there! Now it's ready to be used again.

no reset you need to check the trigger switch or get someone that works on electrical stuff to check it for you
