Does anyone have a problem with the heater going on when the room temp is higher than the set temp?Had sensor replaced, no change.

I have found, that if you do not adhere to the clearances in the manual, that the sensor is so sensitive, it will affect the on, off, operation. Also, keeping the filters cleaned pretty much weekly is positively necessary for the same reason. Other than that, it's a hell of a good heater.

I have mine set to 1 as well for that same purpose. Mine does turn on and off and has never went on once the tempature has reached its setting. I am in NY so its a basement unit and stays around the 40-50 degree range. there may be a probem with the unit. I would reach out to customer service.

Hi,Mine first did that when it was first installed. The temp was set to high. I unplugged the unit and not turn it back on until the next morning and it has been great since then.

If you have an air vent close to the sensor, it will detect the change in temperature from the heater/AC airflow. One of my bathrooms has that issue. Try redirecting the airflow higher so it's not registered by the sensor.

well it all depends how big is your room and how cold is outside! mine works perfectly and the temperature changes constantly. your's might be defective too!

Other than having another faulty thermostat, I would check the mounting. If not mounted correctly the unit may not operate as designed. One other thing, be sure you are exceeding the room temperature when operating the unit. If the room temperature is higher than the thermostat setting it will not fire.

Well Ms. Linda C. I dont know what to tell you because I have been using my heater for three years now and I dont have the slightest problem with it. My heater works very well for me. B.K.Delley

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 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.

same problem, im sure it is due to the sensor that reads the return air temp. my wire has moved, getting erratic readings too. long yellow wire in the unit, not sure where it should be mounted though

Haven't got a clue Todd, never happened to me. Mine has worked flawlessly other that I have to set the temperature to about 72 to get my desired room temperature of 68 degrees.

Must be something wrong with your heater. When I set the heater temperature to 71 degrees the heater will stay on until reaching 73 degrees (don't know why). Once it drops to 70 degrees then the heater should come back on. The heater will tell you whatever the temp is in the room. When it's extremely cold the heater can't heat some rooms. Hope this helps.

I had to ask the manufacturer the same question and the reply was "yes, on at 32* and off at approximately 45*" It is interesting that in none of their literature is this mentioned. I'd think that might be something a potential buyer might like to know. I have not verified the temperature range but this is what I was told by the manufacturer. So far however the heater is doing it's job very nicely.

My unit is behaving exactly as what you (and the user manual) describe. I set the thermostat temp to a comfortable 68 degrees. The unit heats up to +4, which is 72 degrees, and then it shuts off. That's great. However, as soon as my room temperature drops to 71 degrees, which is about 2 minutes later, the unit kicks back on in LOW mode. This is WAY too sensitive. When the room temperature reaches 72 degrees again, which is about 30 seconds later, the unit shuts off again. The unit cycles between 71 and 72 degrees, and therefore, turns on and off continuously every couple of minutes or so. Mind you, neither 71 nor 72 is my desired temperature. The constant clicking on/off makes this feature unusable. It is quite ironic that this feature is called Save Smart. It should be renamed "Waste Dumb" in my opinion.

I would recommend checking the amp draw of the elements, when the thermostats or NOT CALLING (on). If there is any draw at this time, then the element needs to be replaced.

Check and replace the batteries. I had exactly the same problem. I Called the company, their customeer service is great. At there suggestion I found one of my batteries was "defective". Replaced it and all was fine. BE sure the unit is NOT mounted close to a heater vent as warm air from heater can cause unusual activity with the light.

Mine for some reason is doing the opposite. I have mine all the way up on 7 and with the cold weather here, I'm lucky to get 30% humidity readings upstairs.Any suggestions experts?
