My Vornado heater just quit - the fan will not run. Is that in the limited warranty? Purchased 12/30/12.

I have incurred the same issue. What has worked for me is before turning unit on, make sure the heater and temp control are off. Once the fan starts moving, then turn on the heat and temp.

You need to ask this question to Vornado. Seems like the one year warranty is expired though.

I'm sorry that your heater has quit. Only the Manufacture can answer your question. I purchased two one year ago. One has just quit and was sent out with the garbage.

Your best bet would be not to waste your time trying to repair it; replace it. I had nothing but trouble with this unit. Samsung and I sent it back and forth about a half dozen times, in and out of warranty. They always claimed it was fixed; it wasn't. The fan finally conked out on it and capacitors exploded, arced, and flamed. We're lucky the thing didn't start a major fire. Do yourself a huge favor and junk it.

You probably have two options. One is to see if there was a parts list included in the packaging. If so, you may be able to order a new one. And, sorry to say, the other option as a last resort would be to buy a new fan. I am going to assume though that there is a parts list. Good luck!

This happened to me as well.... unit heats up fan doesn't begin then unit turns off with hot water in pot. Seems like a fuse problem where the fan isn't able to detect the temperature and begin cooling. Probably need to get a new one. I called Westinghouse and they said that they discontinued the product for good reason. Also, remember that the charging and electrical units are all in the pot so do not get that area wet otherwise it will likely mess up the electrical components. This happened to me in less than 1 year! So go figure. Good luck

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.

Yes. At the time I purchased it, I was only using the fan. Never got a chance to use the heater since I returned it.

Mine turns on but makes a lot of noise. The fan is evidently going out after only 3 months. I am not happy with this heater

Miss Gosset; The company advises you not to open the heating unit but if you call them they will tell you how to take care of the problem. I still had the warrentee on mine & they sent me a whole new unit. They will probably let you purchase a new electrical unit if you don't have an effective warrentee now. Just give them a call & they can direct you. Hope this helps. Joanna

I had same problem. The fan was not working proper. The company sent me a new one and has been working fine ever since

It is new. We had an event on a chilly day and put a small space heater in there fine. I am not certain about the warranty.

Let me quote the last para of the Owner's Manual, for your general information: "This heater comes with a 3 YEAR LIMITED COMPONENT WARRANTY. if your unit does not appear to be working properly, please contact our service center by calling 1-800-317-1688. Prior to your call, we encourage you to visit our service related website drheaterusa_com for troubleshooting tips and possible service instructions if needed."

Unsure about a warranty. I would not pay extra for one. The first heater they sent me was defective... so i sent it back. They sent another, and it only lasted one year. So it wouldn't be beneficial to have paid for a warranty in my book. I had a heater like this one that had lasted for many many years, but feel the manufacturing quality is not as good as in the past.

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.

If it was working fine and then failed I'd get it replaced under warranty. Sounds like the motor or the fan itself is rubbing and now has completely failed - just a bad unit. But make sure nothing got inside it to bind it up. It should be under the 1 year warranty.

I have not had any problems with the fan oscillating. I would think it would be a good reason for replacement, maybe take it back where you got it. The only thing I think is it should have a medium setting.

I have actually called EdgeStar on this very issue. Our unit was not cooling on the left side. It seems the issue I had was that the fan would not run unless I turned the interior light on. However, when I did this the fan ran non-stop which caused temperature issues with the right side. Edgestar offers two options within the first year...send the whole unit in and pay for shipping or have a technician service the unit and then request warranty parts from Edgestar. So far we have done neither. The fan should start and stop as the desired temperature is met. Please respond if you've had any success in resolving. We are on the brink of getting a new fridge.

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