Call manufacture tech support. Your unit may still be under warranty. Your could have a clogged fuel filter. Never leave old fuel in unit during none use months. follow manufactures storage instructions for none use periods.

Check the red over load button on the back of the heater. Check the power supply of the outlet plugged into. If that checks out ok, it is defective and you need to return it under warranty.

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

The oscillator is likely broken. I had the same problem. The fan was working, but no vapor. I called Venta directly and he told me to take the cartridge out and try again. Still got no vapor. He said it was the oscillator. It was just over 1yr old, but I had only used it a total of about 4 mos the previous season so it was out of warranty and I was out of luck. I had one previously for almost 6 years and it worked great. I wouldn't trust this model anymore. To expensive for a one year warranty when so many seem to fail.

The pilot on my 60000 btu heater is always on and it heats my 30x40x14 bldg nicely. I turn it off for the summer. I have a CO2 tester to check if the oxygen level ever gets low. It has not gone off in the three years. Hope this helps. Randy

it has an overheat protection circuit built in inside regulator box. when there is a surge which causes heat, it cut off power automatically. after the problem is removed, temp is down, it will be back on working.

I don't know. I keep my house at 62 degrees and let this heater run around 78, and it runs for an hour or more. It only shuts down for a while after the room is very warm. Then when the room temp drops the heater turns on again. Maybe try turning up the heater to 80 or more. I would try to make sure the heater can run for over 30 minutes before it shuts down due to the room temperature being warm enough.

I have not had any problems yet. But I think the unit is not starting as fast as it did at first. But it is still heating as it should.

Mine did that initially. Up and down between 49 and 53 and the fan kicking in every couple of seconds. I raised the temperature to 55 and it stopped doing that.

There are two other things to check...first is the timer control assy. If this fails to work you will get no heating. And the next and last would be the heating element. Do you use this alot? How old is your unit? Feel free to send me more questions if you need further help as I'm an power plant engineer by trade.

Make sure the fan is not blocked with dust and is working, Mine works fine after I removed the plug on the end and wired it directly to the outlet. I went through 3 of these in 6 months but removed the plug and it works like a champ.

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.

Either they have changed the specifications, or your unit is defective. The fan on my unit only comes on when I've had it under heavy load for awhile, then shuts off awhile after the load is reduced.

I had a similar issue just the other day. It seemed the water temp wasn't moving. I unplugged it, let the heater sit (in the water) unplugged for about 20 minutes. Then plug it in again. I think the heater needs time to get acclimated to the water temp, before the filament or whatever starts cooking. Give that shot before you start slamming the heater against the wall. = )

The fan should not run continuously. If the evap. Thermostat is satisfied with the room temperature the whole unit should stop running. Make sure your setting is not on DRY.

Your heater is broken. This happened to me as well. I've gone through a lot of steam cleaners, but this had the shortest life span.
