Does this Delonghi model sometimes shut off and just sit there unresponsive even when set on high and with the thermostat control also at its highest? We have an older DeLonghi SafeHeat model that does that. You just have to sit there and wait and can't get it to come on manually even if the room isn't very warm.

Yes. I appreciate the built-in safety regulator, but this model turns off when it's not overheating at all -- and, even if it were, the coils should shut down, not the fan. Without the fan to dissipate heat, it takes even longer for the heater to come back on. Very disappointing.

I have no problems at all with mine heating up the room... Let it rest for a while if you have it on constantly (high), 24/7.

It just goes low to high, I set mine on high round the clock, I have a fire burning most of the time in the winter as well as the heat pump, so it stays extremly dry in the winter here. I use mine in the bedroom, but am considering getting another one for the family room.

I never let it run to that point. Always monitored it as it is not one with auto shut off. replaced an older one that worked well for many years, but was cautioned to not let it run dry as it would burn out. So I continue the same process.

happened to me too...i contacted the seller and they told me that it usually shuts down if it over-heats and should work after some time...but that never happened to mine so i returned it and got a refund...

Your question is very vague but here goes, The Man Control works like this, when you first turn the unit on you set it to high to heat the room to the temp youlike in the room then you rotate it counter clockwise to get the temp you want it well turn off most of the time at about a quarter of the way on, but your supposeto set it at what temp like when you back it down! Hope that works!

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.

It's not like a "normal" thermostat that will turn on when the temp is too low and turn off when it's high enough. This one will turn on when the temp's too high and turn off when it's low enough. That's the temperature you set (hence, turn off temperature).

I have mine right at above the output on the trunk, it turns on and off with the furnace just perfectly. Been using it consistently in WNY with FRIGID temps regularly. I'd question perhaps your unit is faulty? If you blow gently on the orifice (straw) size opening you should feel/hear the bladder inside move to engage the switch. If it's stuck, then it would stay on after the furnace shuts off. Mark's idea of sealing could also be an issue. I'm using it with the 530 CFM inline Tjernlund 6 inch inline booster. Hope you resolve.

I found I had to set the temperature a few degrees higher for it to come on. I believe this is because the sensor/antenna is close to the wall. I am trying to remember how the programming works. I just have mine set at 72 round the clock. I will check when back home. But I love this unit! Nice steady heat and electric bill did not go up.

The thermostat know has 10 indicated settings plus the on and off settings. The instruction manual says the following: Set the thermostat knob by turning clockwise to where you want it and allow the heater to warm up the room. When the desired comfort level is reached, lower the thermostat slowly until you hear the unit click off. Heater will now automatically maintain the desired comfort level. I paraphrased a little bit. In other words, once the desired temp. has been reached the heater cycles on and off. Works fine. There are no specific numbers on the heater knob. You just have to find what's comfortable for you.

They changed the control panel and it's really weird... I fiddled around and if you hold temp and temp up buttons simultaneously, it can be moved up. However, I just tried it on mine and it's been a few months and it got a little wonky...very cold out . So be careful and if I get to the right sequence and remember I'll repost and update. Good luck !

According to other posters you will have needed to seat the rear temperature-control unit correctly; the unit won't turn on if it's been mis-seated.Of course I've just ordered this myself, so we'll see if that's accurate. :P---SIX MONTHS LATERIt does appear as if the heating unit can be flakey when seated. I had an issue where it was "unseating" itself when the unit reached high temperature.However, upon a thorough cleaning the issue went away. YMMV.

I have mine set to "auto" so I assume it turns off when the thermostat reaches a certain level & vice versa but will monitor it more closely now that the questions has been asked.

If you mean does it start up again if you blow a circuit breaker, the answer is yes. According to the manual if it overheats and the safety shut off shuts her down it states you need a service center or probably just an electrician to reset the overheat sensor as its located inside the unit. Great heater, though. I go out at night at 11p and set it on 1 1/2bon low and I come home at 7am and my house is 62 degrees while its like 37 outside. I'll update after I get my next electric bill since buying and using the units

I have had no problems like that at all.It has never gotten up to temp and come on every 5 seconds.I love this heater and it maintains the set temp,no problems.

I have a smaller btu version which is in my bedroom...I usually have it on #3 after igniting the unit. From my understanding; #1 is for 60-65 degrees, #2- 65-70 degrees, #3- 70-75 etc., the unit is equipped w/auto therefore once the room reaches the temperature according to where you have set the dial; it will shut off; but once the room goes below set temperature it will come back on...I have no problems w/my unit & for 17 yrs I have lived in my home, every winter upstairs was the coldest in the house; but last yr. & this yr.
