sounds like propane in the line but not coming from the tank. Tank overflow valve may have sucked up to cut off propane. Disconnect, bounce tank (assuming it is full), to shake valve down, then turn slowly so it doesn't suck up again. Happens on the new regulation tanks with overfill valve.

check tip shut off unit on back side of unit next to gas valve they have been known to short out try wireing direct to gas valve, had to do this to mine, and has worked since with no problems. this tip over switch will shut off gas because it thinks unit is tipped over.

I have one of these. When installing the tank its easy to pitch shut the supply hose coming from the tank. Simple fix is to rotate the tank so the hose doesnt pinch shut

From what I have experienced the top wire connector underneath at the top are not very good I believe the bottom is for the pilot ignighter so it is not as critical, the top is the sensor which is very critical and wants to shut the unit down due to loss of voltage I haven't taken mine apart yet to fix them so for now I just push the wire on as i release the pilot button.

Haven't used it recently, but I do recall there is a quirk with the pilot light... you have to hold it down for a longer amount of time than you would think. Especially after starting a new tank of gas.Sorry I'm not more clear on this... but it is not anything 'wrong' with it. Maybe you can read more about the pilot light... I recall having to hold it and count to 20. My memory is foggy. Hope someone gives you a better answer!!

I had the same problem. I first replaced the over protection switch and the hi limit switch. heater then came on and as you have it just ran hot even in air dry, so I replaced the thermostat and the heater still remain hot and brightly glowing. I talked to a repairman and he said to check the heater for a short to ground. It was shorted. Replaced the element that only had one of the ceramic element holders broke. This fixed my problem. I hope this helps.

My unit has not over heated. If its really hot, I would think it is a defective unit.

These t-stats are only rated to run a single heater. You could be overloading it. Try unhooking one and see if the noise goes away

Either they have changed the specifications, or your unit is defective. The fan on my unit only comes on when I've had it under heavy load for awhile, then shuts off awhile after the load is reduced.

I also have my tank heater hooked up to a lo-ong extension cord. It has beautifully survived a very cold winter in Colorado. Check all your extension connections. Did you check your fuse box? Your electric outlet's reset switch?

Mine unit is not hot. I'm pulling twice as many watts (~235W). I run for 5 hours. Its sounds like you have a problem, maybe a fire hazard. I'm not sure of the electrical specs, if you have a voltmeter you might try measuring the voltage or amps.

Mine did the same thing. I had to replace the circulation pump. To check this turn off your hot tub then try to run it with the jets. Turn the heater up. If it does not turn off then it is not your heater. Turn the jets off. If you hear the thumping and the heater turns off then it is your circulation pump since it stopped working when you shut the jets off. The circulation of the jets keeps the heater from overheating. When you turn it off the circulation pump take over but the heater will shut off from not receiving the cooler water so the heater overheats an d turns off.

Mine heated my 5 gallon tank in a few hours. Something is probably wrong with it if it's been on for 48 hours. Try returning it.

It may be overheated. Mine did this sometimes after it was on for a long time. Try turning it off and giving it time to cool.

did you turn up the dial to maximum heating temp?.sometimes it gets turned down by error. IF it is all the way up...check the electric going to the heater...(that it is on) IF good..they it burned out....get a new one...

The heater does not come back on after power off unless it's still hot the fan will come back on until it's cool but the heater does not come back on you have to reset it

I had this problem. Took off the cover & had an exposed wire that was shorting out. Ran new wire to the heater. Working fine.

Mine has been doing that also. I don't know what is going on with it. I don't know of any recalls on these heaters.

According to the manual there is a thermal overload protector built into the heater. This will prevent the heater from working again until you have done a reset on it. Reset: unplug heater for 10 minutes for it to cool down. After 10 minutes, plug the heater in again and turn it on. Another trouble shooting tip from the manual: check the thermostat setting and increase it until the unit comes on as it may be at temp. or you may need to clean the heater if it turns on and off. Vacuum intake grills with the brush attachment of the vacuum every two weeks and use a toothbrush to gently loosen any dirt that the vacuum didn't remove.

Are you running it off the correct mains? Mine was doing this until I installed a transformer.
