Troubleshooting Guide

When I power the heater ON, it doesn’t blow any air at first.
The heater is functioning as it should. The first 15 seconds allows the infrared elements to get hot so that when the fan turns on it moves warm air into the room.
The heater’s ambient temperature reading does not match my central heating thermostat reading. Why?
All thermostats vary in their temperature setting. In most cases, the central heating thermostat is not as accurate as your Heat Storm thermostat.

  • Also, where the temperature censor is can alter the thermostat
  • You can calibrate your heater’s thermostat to match your cen­tral heating thermostat. Please see the calibration section of the

The heater keeps blowing air when heater is turned off. Why?
The heater is functioning as it should. This is the cool down phase. The heater will run for several minutes (up to 12) to cool down the internal components. This increases the lifespan of the infrared elements.

The heater is not blowing warm air.

  • Check to see if the air inlet is blocked or the air filter is dirty. If the filter is dirty, clean it.
  • The ambient temperature (displayed) is higher than the ther­mostat setting.
  • There is something blocking the air flow. Move the object out of the way of the heater. This is common if the heater is in a closet or under a desk.

Installing the heater near objects may cause the air in your room not to circulate and therefore have widely varying temperatures within the same room.

  • Disconnect the unit from the wall outlet for 2 hours. After 2 hours, plug the unit back into the wall outlet. If the problem persists call customer service at 435-752-6611.

The fan clicks on and runs for under a minute and then turns off. Why?

  • The fan is turning on to attempt to create air flow within your The heater is trying to determine if the ambient temperature in the room has changed.

My heater smells like burning plastic.

  • When you first receive your heater, a light plastic odor is normal.

The heater is brand new and has never been used before. If the smell persists for more than a couple of hours, call customer service at 435-752-6611.

My heater is not showing the temperature, just an error code.
“EE” : The temperature sensor (probe) error, when this code shows, the heating element and fan are turned off. Heater needs to unplugged and check the temperature sensor which could be loose or disconnected or damaged.
*TO” : Program can not set up to run, Heater needs to be unplugged and plugged in again. If this error is still there after several tries, The PCBA need to be replaced.
“El” This is a heater tilt-over error. When this code shows, the heater and fan are turned off. The heater can be turned back on again by touching on/off icon after heater is standing up again.
“UH” Incorrect high voltage power supply error. The heater must be unplugged immediately.
LO The temperature is less than 16°F (-9 °C)
HI The temperature is greater than 99°F (37°C)

  • Unplug the heater for 2 hours, then plug the heater back in.
  • Do the factory reset. If the error persists, call customer service.

Questions & Answers

Why does the Blower Fan keep running after I have turned off the unit?
The Blower Fan will continue to run until the heat chamber has cooled down. After a few minutes the fan will shut off automati­cally. This ensures that the quartz infrared heating elements are cooled properly helping to ensure the longevity of your heater.

Can the heating elements be replaced?
Yes. Contact an authorized repair center, generally, this is the store where you purchased your heater. If you ordered the heater online or have had the heater for longer than one year, contact customer service to order replacement elements.

My cord is getting very hot, especially at the plug. Is that normal?
No. Most likely the problem is that the connection from the wall wiring to the outlet is faulty and is causing the outlet and plug to overheat. Also, make sure there are not too many appliances plugged into outlets on a single circuit. This problem is quite common in older homes. If the problems persist consult a qualified electrician.

The heaters airflow seems to have diminished?
Make sure the air inlet is not blocked and that the filter is clean. For directions on how to clean the filters, see the Washable Lifetime Filter System in the operations & Controls section of the manual.

Once I initially plug the unit in and turn it on, how long will it take to heat my room?
Generally, it takes about a half hour. Please remember that with any type of heating process there are many variables; size of the room, how well the room is insulated, how many doors/windows, how much bare concrete (which acts as a heat sink with any type of heating), the opening and closing of an exterior door, etcetera. Therefore, heating performance will vary in every envi­ronment.

Can I use the heater to heat multiple rooms at the same time? Yes. Keep in mind the heating will vary based on how open your floor plan is and the sizes of the rooms involved. Our suggestion, give it a try and see what works best for you. Please be advised that this heater is good for between 700-1000 square feet of supplemental heating.

My Heater never seems to reach the set temperature, it just keeps running.
There are several possible causes. Make sure the filters are clean. If the room is drafty or poorly insulated the thermostat sensor may be taking an inaccurate reading. Make sure to keep doors closed so that the heater can heat the room. Also, ensure that the heater is plugged into an interior wall and is not below a window. Often, when a heater is below a window the cool air from the window is causing an inaccurate temperature reading. If none of the above assist with the problem, your heater may be too small for the room. This heater is good for between 700-1000 square feet of supplemental heating and approxi­mately 150 square feet of primary heating. The square footage amounts will vary depending on how well insulated your home is.
My home is not insulated very well, will this heater help me?
Yes, but keep in mind that rooms with little insulation will not retain the heat as efficiently and may result in your heater running longer or more often.

Can I use the heater if I have vaulted or cathedral ceilings?
Yes, but it may take longer to heat the room initially. Once the room has reached the desired temperature it will cycle on and off accordingly.

Will I be able to use the heater in a basement or garage?
Yes, if the basement is finished with drywall and carpet. Other­wise we recommend you use our Heat Storm Outdoor Infrared Heaters for this heating need. For more information visit heatstorm.com or contact customer service.

Can I use more than one heater at a time?
Yes, but make sure they are not on the same electrical circuit. Each heater and appliance should be on its own circuit. If you
