The heater doesn't automatically turn on and off as stated. I followed the instruction manual.

It does. It turns off once it reaches the seting u have it on. Then it comes back on when it cools down again. Perhaps u have a bad thermostat.

Yes. The heater has a built-in thermostat which controls the temperature that you set by adjusting the dial located on top of the unit. You'll need a thermometer to see the results. Tweak your heater by turning the dial clockwise/or counterclockwise as much as necessary to get your desired temperature. There is a small penlight indicator located on the top-front of the heater that tells you what's going on. Red light means that the heater is on. Green light means that the heater is off but on stand-by.

I have not had a problem with mine but definitely call the company and explain to them what has happened. Be firm but not rude in letting them know that you are not satisfied with the performance of the heater. I am sure they will do something to rectify the problem. Good luck.

Beverly, you didn't state your model or how old the unit, but one common weak link is the on/off switch may be faulty, the second primary failure mode would be the heater coil/thermostat and would generally be cheaper to buy a new one than try and fix. If you have a handyman around he should be able to check out the on/off switch.

I haven't programmed the unit. I just set the switch to either heat or cool, then the temp. I want maintained.

Not sure. I haven't used that feature. But I'm guessing it is used to set when the heater need to turn off not on. I'll let you know on my next post

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.

Ok is the third stage your back up electric strip heaters? That would kickin when the other other two stages Failed to keep up the demand. With this extreme cold Winter the strip heater will turn on. Yes, it will Come on automatically.

I took the heater to work, an 80'x 100' building. In about a half hour it was around 50, and about an hour later we had 60 plus and the would automatic shut down at preset temp.

My heater does the same.I had two since the first broke. I think their thermostats just dont work well.

It needs to be turned on and off manually. I have left it on for about an hour, but it didn't auto off.

No, it does not turn on automatically nor do I believe it turns off automatically.

Be sure the batteries are installed correctly. Try unplugging the heater and re-energize.

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.

Yes, I believe it does. We had several problems with the thermostat and were promptly taken care of by the company. First with a new thermostat control unit and finally an entire new unit. Not exactly thrilled with the heater overall but serves the purpose fairly well.

It won't shut power off if "water gets low", but it won't turn on heater if water is in designed temperature range. so it won't be over heated.

Automatically, the on/off switch and thermostat are old school, non electronic. I have the heater on a timer switch.
