The wire and the hole in the wall will be visible at the top of the heater. Anyway to fix this?

The heater has to have clearance from the wall, but the cord is not really visible unless you get close to the wall and look for it. I'd say it's a non-issue, personally.

A wire inside has come loose and it is not heating. This is an easy fix as heaters are very simple. 1. Unscrew the bottom 2. Look inside and slip the loose wire back onto the tab 3. Put the bottom back on 4. Happy sealing.

The male plug is molded like many typical plugs and cannot be removed so only the wire could be pushed through a smaller hole. However, I removed the ends of the wire from the heating element inside the tube, pushed the wire through a 1/4" hole, then reconnected the element. Just put it together correctly and insulate properly so there's no electrical shorts. Works fine.

Disconect the power cord from the wall.Remove the back of the heater then the fan plate and you will see the three bulbs. Remove the the plug and then one small screw on bulb bracket. Check YouTube for video

I have the same dish. The heater works well. You will need to place the wires on the front of the dish rather than the back side.

The gas valve should be accessable so it usually comes thu the wall or floor to the right of the heater

The heater comes with a mounting bracket that screws to the wall on then you hang the unit from the two tabs on either side of the bracket. It ends up being fairly flush to the wall

We have the heater wired into an outlet that is controlled by a light switch so we don't use the string very often, but we have not had any problems with the string breaking. You can easily replace the string with a chain that you can buy at any hardware store if you want to do that.

The heater wiring does not extend to the outside of the heater. You would need to have your electrician bring the house wiring into the heater and splice it inside the heater splice box. The splice box is located under the top cover of the heater.

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

I would love to help - but mine was put in by a contractor (on several tries) who said the fan/vent/heater was a b---- to put in, even with the special wall switch. I hope you get it figured out, because the fan/vent/heater is wonderful and I am glad I purchased it.

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.

Just move the small cover a little to expose some holes. You should probably turn the heat down some too. Hope this solves the problem for you.

use a big pipe wrench and turn it. I had to turn on my electric heater and let it get hot to break it loose.

Yes, we also replaced the outlet between heaters. The new heater is on the same line, most of a year now, no problems with it.

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

Not that I know of. Check the air flow for the heater if there is an obstruction.
