Possible Causes

Failed heater element, Tripped thermal cutoff, Faulty heater switch, Loose heater wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool.

  • Verify mode: Ensure the heater function is actually enabled (check switch or control setting).
  • Check power to heater (advanced): With a multimeter and following safety procedures, verify voltage at the heater when heater mode is on. No voltage suggests a switch or control issue.
  • Test heater continuity: Measure resistance across heater terminals. An open circuit means the heater must be replaced.
  • Inspect thermal cutoff: Replace any open thermal fuse with the correct rated part.
