Why does the heater keep going out.

I have not had that problem with my heater. But it sounds like there may be a small clog in the line near the pilot light.

The temperature in the room has been reached it explains that from the paperwork that came with the stove.

Hey Ron 2 question where are you operating this heater and when you say it keeps going out do you mean it comes on and off frequently

It may be a lack of ventilation. If I turn mine up too high in my closed garage it goes out. I forgot to close the garage door one morning and the heater ran full blast all day and never went out. I'm assuming in a closed space that it burns all of the available oxygen and goes out.

It could be that the temperature in the room has been reached. Also, I believe the manual says that this could happen and that there is a mechanism at the pilot that traps dust, etc. That needs to stay clean. . My suggestion - call the technical assistance line and they were VERY VERY helpful in resolving an issue that I had!

My heater did this and I found that a tiny hole in the pilot flame tube was blocked by dust. I removed the lower panel (tricky without more disassembly) and used a brush and a cotton swab moistened with alcohol to clean the small opening. When I had access I also cleaned the thermocouple that touches the pilot flame. Had to do this twice. The heater has been ok for over a week now. I read about this on a blog about the heater.

The bird heater stays on when plugged in to the electrical outlet. It does not have a thermostat. It took me three different heaters to get one that even worked for any length of time. You get what you pay for. This is a VERY cheap model. If you want something to last, keep looking. There are some that do turn off once the temperature has reached a certain point. I had asked for a refund for my heater and they just kept sending a replacement. Third time was charm!!!

You program the time the thermostat starts and stops the heater. It is not smart enough to plan ahead.

Danielle,There is no problem leaving the heater on all the time as long a you have mounted it as per instructions. The Heater is completely safe as long as it is mounted properly

We had the heater on for hours and never had any problems with it so far. The only time it shuts off is if we move it. You may want to contact the manufacturer and ask them what the problem is. They have a live chat on their website - http://firesense.com/

My mr heater hose does the same thing. It is very hard to get the hose to go out straight.

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?

You attach the filter to the heater. The connection on the heater should swing out.

Be sure the batteries are installed correctly. Try unplugging the heater then 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.

Comes out at separate vent areas. We love our heater and have not had any problems.

I can think of a couple of possibilities: 1. The thermostat may be malfunctioning and calling for heat continuously. A thermostat is basically a temperature controlled switch. When it calls for heat it completes a circuit that sends voltage to the heating system (the Taco valve head in my system), and when the room temperature reaches the set point the thermostat opens the circuit and the heat should go off. 2. The water valve for a zone in the house may be stuck open. Check the Taco valve head for the zone in question and make sure the manual bypass lever on the side is not pushed down. If it is, the water valve will be held open and the circulator pump will run continuously. I posted an answer to somebody else's previous question about a system not producing heat. I included a description of how my system works which may help you in understanding how yours works. Good luck.

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

I have not had an issue with the heater stopping and starting like that. More often than not, due to the rooms it is used in, it does not shut off (hit the temperture) though that is the room and not the heater. On the rooms where it stopped, I did not have that issue.

I don't know how to answer this question. We have not noticed this but we also haven't been around the heater throughout the night to notice it. Have you contacted Lasko's customer service? That would be my only suggestion.

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.

There was a slight smell at first but it wore off. This is common in many electric heaters. I call it the newness smell. However if it continues to smell and the odor is strong there may be some defect. Possibly a piece of plastic stuck on the heating element inside. Give it a few days and let it run for a couple of hours.Keep a close watch on it.
