Had my heater on one evening and the next morning it wouldn't turn on. Anyone else have this problem they fixed or is this a defect?

We have had our heater for about 3 months and have not had this problem. It does seem that when you push the buttons your finger needs to be right over what you are pressing. Once I got used to that I have had no problems with the heater. Is working well to supplement our partially heated attic.

Mine turns on but makes a lot of noise. The fan is evidently going out after only 3 months. I am not happy with this heater

Same Here Patricia. We just got ours last week and we let it sit for hours then turned it on and nothing!! It won't get cold, won't turn on and if it does have a light...it's not working either. I'm sending it back. Good luck with yours.

Hello, You might try to unplug it from the wall outlet for a minute and plug it back in again. If it doesnt work try it again. If that doesnt help your control thermostat on the front panel on the unit might be defective. I never liked the Lifesmart Heaters because mine was bought defective right out of the box new. It increased my electric bill too because it ran constantly. I will never buy another one again. If you need a new thermostat control you have to take the whole unit apart. If you have some warranty left on it they might fix it at the factory if you ship it to them. My Lifesmart Heater has a help number located on the back panel or check your owners manual. I hope this helps you out.

No zots? No light? No heat? Sounds BROKE to me! Really, take it back where you bought it and replace it or get your money back. Mine lights up when I push the on button and heats up immediately.

Just reset the button to re-heat a 2nd time. But be careful. It gets really toast. ;)

Good question! Let me know if you find one. This would be an excellent heater if the manufacturer did not use thermocouples that they know are defective. Why do I say that? Because nearly EVERY review that I have read States the same problem. Now I have a heater sitting out in my garage that will not light! I recommend that any person thinking of purchasing this heater buy a Mr Heater instead. They work! If World Marketing would send me a new thermocouple (that works), I would install it.

My heater does the same.I had two since the first broke. I think their thermostats just dont work well.

Same issue I had with first unit, called the company and they exchanged and we've never had anymore issues. It was a weird issue. What is the codes that are flashing on the screen? The company was great and responded quickly. We use the heater every time we camp.

I have not had a problem with mine but definitely call the company and explain to them what has happened. Be firm but not rude in letting them know that you are not satisfied with the performance of the heater. I am sure they will do something to rectify the problem. Good luck.

Hi, Haven't had ours for long enough to have any problems. However, knowing what little I know about electrical heating elements, if it's making noise that's probably not a good sign. Would take the time to send it in either for repair or replacement. These aren't complicated devices, but the potential for fire is always lurking the background. Don't want to overkill, but wouldn't take any chances... Jay Miller

Your heater is broken. This happened to me as well. I've gone through a lot of steam cleaners, but this had the shortest life span.

Hi, I have only had that happen when I use the unit for an hour of more. I reckon that the quality of the product varies, and your unit may be overheating more than normal.

Sounds like a defect. I have never had that problem. The bottom element always turns on and heats up for me.

I have incurred the same issue. What has worked for me is before turning unit on, make sure the heater and temp control are off. Once the fan starts moving, then turn on the heat and temp.

Buy a good heater next time. The one I bought lasted about one year. I heard a lot of stories about these heaters and not good stories either.

On my unit there is a reset button on the back panel near the top in the middle of the panel. I turned mine over intentionally to make sure the heating elements would power down and they did. I had to press the reset button to restart the heater.
