heater keeps shutting down after running awhile why is this?

Mine did this. The small filter on the back was dusty. It couldn't suck enough air through to cool its inner parts and it shut itself off. I simply removed and washed the filter and put it back after it dried and it worked fine after that. I read in the Manuel later that this should be done at least once every 3 months to make the heater run properly.

It has reached the temperature in the room that the temperature is set for on the heater.

It has reached the temperature in the room that you have the heater set for.

It could be the automatic thermostat cycling on and off. This unit is not designed for continuous heat output.

on the remote you can raise the temperature on the "temp up" setting to the temperature you want the heater to reach

I had same problem. The fan was not working proper. The company sent me a new one and has been working fine ever since

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.

No this is how the heater operates. Mine does the same thing.1) If set at 72F, it will heat up to 73, then stop. (It's still powered on, just not heating).2) The room drops to 71F. 3) Then once the display drops to 70F, the heater restarts.4) Repeat cycle.This cycle can take a long time for a larger room like a bedroom. It's a good design because limiting the ON/OFF cycles for heaters extends their life.Refer to the similar Question 1 for a similar response.

Hi, ours was 10years old when it quit summer of 2013, we had to replace the whole heater. When we put in the new one it has so far worked just great so far. Good Luck. Regards D. McCoy

When mine stopped working, I asked my father (who was a small applicance repairman back in the day) to look at it. He told me it's a "closed system." He couldn't get the unit open to even look at it, let alone repair or replace it. Not sure the manufacturer could help. When I called them about mine, they told me that amazon would replace the whole thing - which they didn't. Amazon told me they don't carry this heater anymore and instead, gave me a refund.

I'm not sure but it's a great little heater. I've had it for over a year and no issues.

It shuts off then start up again when it reaches a certain heat, but you can't read the actual temperature.

I have run the heater all night. Once the temperature is set it will go on and off by itself. In fact I think I have just left it only for several days at a time. You just need to make sure you clean the filter once in a while to help the air flow. Hope this helps.

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

1st did you check to make sure the size of the wire was sufficient to run the heater? I had to replace mine with a thicker wire. Perhaps you need to install a larger breaker.

Either the thermostat is set to low or it may be defective. Also the heater needs some outside air or it will shut off. Good Luck!!

Mine too. There is an electrical connection behind the control panel that overheats and starts to burn the wire insulation when the heater is on high. It is connected to the pendulum switch that would power-off the unit if it tipped over. I contacted Kaz (the actual mfgr) but they weren't interested in fixing or replacing the heater.

I never had a problem with it runnind down the battery, but i didn't use it very long. I live in Alaska and it did not put out enough heat to be of any help, so i took it out and it is setting in my closet.

I suspect it's getting too hot and shutting off as a safety feature, then turning back on after it cools down. I would go down in wattage. I had to get another smaller dome and a regular household bulb in addition to this keep the heat up in my terrarium.

It only makes that noise when you start the heater, after 10 minutes it will became silent as long as it stays on. I have 5 those heaters for 4 years - never had any problems.

You need to make sure you shut it off at the switch. It seems to cycle the heater briefly on an off until the switch is off.
