Once it reaches the desired temp it will shut off, it also will shut off if it is over heating.

Be sure the batteries are installed correctly. Try unplugging the heater and re-energize.

You need to make sure you shut it off at the switch. It seems to cycle the heater briefly on an off until the switch is off.

Most likely the heat element burned out. Local repair shops would not fix it even tho still on warranty. Returned the unit to Oreck. They sent a new one which works ok.

I do not have this experience yet. It seems like the heater should be shut off when power goes out, restarting the unit should require manual reset. Hope the unit is designed this way.

Hi Baduu - I also purchased a heater 3 years ago. As far as I know it's still Ok... but it's still hot where I live so we have not gotten it out and plugged it in. Were you trying to reach the manufacturer?

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.

I have not had a problem with mine but definitely call the company and explain to them what has happened. Be firm but not rude in letting them know that you are not satisfied with the performance of the heater. I am sure they will do something to rectify the problem. Good luck.

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.

You may have a wire crossed. My works just as the oem did. I took a picture of the wires before removing the old one and put the wires back on the exact same way. When mine hits temperature setting (either heat or AC) it shuts off automatic.

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.

If your problem is occurring even with the temperature low AND your tank is older, it is possible that the heating coils within the heater are deteriorating. This exposed "hot spots" that boil the water even if your temperature is low. Or...the thermostat is broken and on "high". This has finally happened to mine and I get noise and sputtering even at the lowest setting. Time for a new tank for me. Mine lasted 10 years.

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!

Not sure, my heater works as instructions indicate. I would unplug it and let it sit for awhile. The button at the top takes a firm press, the heat indicator will cycle higher and higher and then all the way back to cold after many presses. Disconnecting the power for awhile should reset it to default 78 degrees. Mine is a 25 watt heater, so it will only heat a small tank that is in a room not overly cold. Good luck!
