does the heater work if a bulb goes out

Yes it will still work but it will not put out as much heat as having all 3 bulbs working.

The bulbs are what generate the heat. If one goes out, the other two will generate heat, but not nearly as effectively. Mine worked marginally with just one bulb burning. But when I replaced the the set, it does a great job. Bulb are easy to replace.

I dont think a warrenty comes with this bulb kit, but your heater should have come with a pretty good warrenty if you kept your reciept.

Yes but light is small, dim and insignificant. Pull switch once-light comes on. Second pull of switch-one heating element comes on (with light). Third pull of switch turns on both heat elements with light. Light bulb could easily be removed but I use it as an indicator light reminding me the heater is still on.

Perhaps you misunderstand the product? There is no heater; the heater IS the heat-lamps or heat-bulbs, so in that sense no, since the heat and the light are the same thing. As others stated, one could conceivably put one heat-lamp bulb and one white light bulb into the unit and rewire it, but I don't think that's the best option. If I really wanted a separate heater and light unit, perhaps I'd considering buying a different unit other than this Broan (one with a specific heating unit)

it normally lights up when heated enough==only a few minutes at most==i would imagine out is broken

It has an operating indicator on the outside. If the bulb burns out it won't glow.

This is a great heater. We haven't had a power outage this winter - so am unable to answer your question. However, I'm sure it would restart automatically & keep its setting. A good question for the manufacturer.

Yes, the fan runs until it reaches your selected level, then it cuts off and will later come back on when the temp drops. We love the heater. Good luck

Yes. Also, the pilot light can easily be extinguished if it is windy outside, causing the heater to turn off.

I do not have this experience yet. It seems like the heater should be shut off when power goes out, restarting the unit should require manual reset. Hope the unit is designed this way.

The heater will come back on with the settings that you have set when the power goes off and comes back on. I think this is a great heater but I couldn't keep mine because it was damaged/defective.

Right away, should not have to take breaker out. If it does not reset you have a short somewhere. (Heater) ???

Absolutely not. It did not work at all. Total waste of money. No way to change light bulb inside. Used only one week(with no results) when bulb burnt out

I don't have the equipment to test for that but if there is any electricity used when the bulb is off it would be mininmal. The bulb uses very little electricity when it is on.

I took it off and works fine. I think the temperature of bulb would melt it.

Either the light doesn't work or the heater doesnt work. I ordered one of these and it never worked for me. I ended up returning it.

No; this unit plugs into outlet. It works great. I dragged it all over the place in a large crawlspace and had no trouble with it. There is a pretty good guard in front of the bulb.
