    How to troubleshoot electric garage heater?

    So another word, I may not have an issue if the wires in the back of my current thermostat is fine then. It's just the way the heater was designed to do. Based on this excerpt from the manual, I have to let the heater run all the time and if the thermostat never reaches above 50 degree, that...

    How to troubleshoot electric garage heater?

    By the way, my current setup is only two wires. Will it work with 3-wires thermostat like the ESP230-R?

    Thanks for the response. Looks like the you linked to in Amazon handles only 3600 watt but it seems the ESP230-R handles 5kW. Am I right?

    How to troubleshoot electric garage heater?

    I was reading on another forums where some have suggested installing a 240 volt - 24 volt transformer and relay inside the heater unit and let the unit interrupt the control wire of the 240 volt relay. By doing it this way, it allows me to use a low voltage thermostat to control the heater and...

    Thanks! I forgot to even look at the reviews of this thermostat. I guess it's time for a new thermostat. Any recommendation?

    How to troubleshoot electric garage heater?

    I think the issue may have to do with the Honeywell Home CT410B thermostat. If it's pulling about 20 amps from both wires, the elements are working but I suspect the thermostat because the heater doesn't always run. It runs for 2-5 minutes then it stopped. It pauses for like 10 minutes to...

    I live in Wisconsin. You might be right but I want to make sure I've checked everything to make sure the unit is not defective.

    How to troubleshoot electric garage heater?

    I don't remember seeing the red light "Overheated" on but I will verify tonight. Yes, the knob is turned all the way up to high as I'm using a wall thermostat to control the heater. I don't know if the element is engaged or not but the fan is on and it is lukewarm though. No, there is no cracks...

    How to troubleshoot electric garage heater?

    I purchased the Fahrenheat FUH54 electric heater for garage about 6 years ago. It takes about 3 hours to increase 10-15 degrees and never go beyond 49 degrees in the fully insulated 3 car garage. I remembered it used to be around 60-70 degrees in the garage in the first several years I've owned...
