How do you get the temp to 104? Mine gets to 100, then heater shuts off. I push up on temp arrow, nothing happens.

it all depends how cold your room is. ours will get to 104 but if the room gets to cold the temp drops to 100 and stays there.

push temperature hold it till the numers blinks then the up and down to set temp

Press and hold the up arrow, then it starts blinking. That's when you push the up arrow until 104. The heater will engage until it is that temp.

They changed the control panel and it's really weird... I fiddled around and if you hold temp and temp up buttons simultaneously, it can be moved up. However, I just tried it on mine and it's been a few months and it got a little wonky...very cold out . So be careful and if I get to the right sequence and remember I'll repost and update. Good luck !

You have to hold the temp button for 10-20 seconds once the displayed temp. starts to blink adjust the temp. up or down using the temp. arrows

Buy a good heater next time. The one I bought lasted about one year. I heard a lot of stories about these heaters and not good stories either.

You are running it a bit too low....try a little higher setting until it stays lit The temp control is not an exact science...there is a thermal senser ( safety device ) that extends into the flame, it will shut the gas off if it does not sense enough heat....so if you run at too low a setting the flame is not hot enough and the senser shuts off the gas...pain in the ........but it works.

I too haven't had any issues. There are heat settings that you can adjust. If it doesn't heat up, you may have a defective unit.

That's odd. Mine wont go any lower that 240. The trick is to act like you are shutting it off, but not all the way. So between on and off, you can get the flame adjusted much lower. Only other option is to buy a different regulator. Hope this helps! p.s. Double check your actual temp with an oven thermometer. Gauge on the door is not very accurate.

I have had no problems like that at all.It has never gotten up to temp and come on every 5 seconds.I love this heater and it maintains the set temp,no problems.

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.

DittoI tried to put a heater in and found the same problem - if anyone knows how I'd appreciate info too. Thank you!

Hit reset button. Turn off unit for about 30 minutes and when you turn it back on make sure it is on the low (I) setting and that its not set beyond the medium mark on the temperature gauge. It should work. I have had several units and threw one away only to later discover that doing the above steps work.

I had the same problem. I first replaced the over protection switch and the hi limit switch. heater then came on and as you have it just ran hot even in air dry, so I replaced the thermostat and the heater still remain hot and brightly glowing. I talked to a repairman and he said to check the heater for a short to ground. It was shorted. Replaced the element that only had one of the ceramic element holders broke. This fixed my problem. I hope this helps.

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!

Did you try and replace the heating element with the spare one that comes with the set? At 217 degrees, that's not even close to melting solder. I know my station has to be set about 100 degrees higher than where I normally would set it, which tells me that the thermostat isn't very accurate, but other than that I've used mine to build hundreds of circuit boards at home and actually prefer my solder station over the ones I use at work. If the 2nd heating element doesn't work, I would contact the seller.

I'm curious about this too. I set mine for 370 and as soon as it reaches the temperature it turns off. SO frustrating.

Mine has stopped putting out heat. The light is on and I can't find the manual and don't remember what buttons I am to push. Does anyone have the directions for use that can send them to me? Thanks S

Turn heater on and let it run for a minute to produce heat. Then touch the set Button&gt; It will display the temp. &gt; 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... Hope this Helped !

I wish I knew, because this is a common problem. But I have a suggestion. When you are done using it, donot turn it off! Turn it on the coolest setting, zero I think, and let it cool down with air blowing through it. About 45 minutes. Otherwise you will burn up the heating element!

start at the lowest setting and then move the dial just enough to trigger it on. dont just move it to the next setting (e.g going from 1 to 2). the area your heating may be a small area and doesnt need to go to the next full number which may trigger a higher setting. it took several days for me to reach the desired temperture.
