Heater does not heat - how to fix ?

not respond when you turn

For example, domestic heater Scarlett

1. First unscrew the screws on the back cover, they are usually 6 pieces, as shown in the photo.
2. Next prozvanivatsya multimeter main elements of the chain: thermo thermostat temperature switch.The first fuse can be seen immediately, without having to remove the blades.For the detection of the second, which is located on the engine, it is necessary to remove the fan.Independently prozvanivatsya multimeter circuit and if it really is the cause of this failure option, buy in the store is exactly the same item and replace (cost of no more than 30 rubles).

Video instructions for repair:

include, but are not heat

second popular breaking heater - blowing, but does not heat the air.In this case, the cause of the fault is likely a heating element - a spiral or a ceramic heater.Everything is simple - a multimeter check the resistance in the circuit and if somewhere there is open, replace the heating element to the new.Sometimes it happens that the heater is no longer warm, becauseone of the spiral portions is corrupted.In this case, you can try to repair the heater with your hands, combining nichrome spiral.

also not a rare case when the cause of failure is still the same fuse.If the heater does not heat heat, check the fuses on the technology provided above.

addition, often fails bimetallic thermostat (show on the photo red arrow).For repairs only need to clean up his contacts to metallic colors and warm yourself a soldering iron.The thermostat should behave as follows: when heated contacts must open the circuit, when cooled again to close.If the device does not work, try to manually close the thermostat and heater connected to the network.If it is working - should be a spiral heating.

blades are not spinning

If the heater is working, but does not turn the fan most likely cause of the problem - the engine stopped working.What to do in this case?Rang detail multimeter and check inside.Perhaps just worn out bearings that should be replaced.To learn how to use a multimeter, we described in the relevant article! Another option damage - severe dust pollution, with the result that the fan is not spinning or often shuts down.Try to repair the motor with your hands by wiping it with a cloth and dripped a little machine oil between the mobile and the fixed part.Did not help?Changing the electric motor, which is broken, a new, with the same characteristics.

Poor working

Well, the last failure - heater warms the air is bad.In this case, the cause of failure is contamination of parts.Rather heater covered with dust, leaving little heating occurs, for instance, the second speed as in the first.For such a simple repair turn off the power, and with a dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner go over all the elements of the chain, the main thing is not to damage anything.It has not helped?Check the power plug, it is possible to blame.Turn on the heater for a few minutes, then remove the plug from the socket and felt electrodes.If one of them noticeably warmer second - broken electrical plug, resulting in weak consumer heater generates heat.

That's all the advice heater repair their own hands!With self-selecting a heater is recommended to give preference to models with ceramic heating element, not a spiral.More tips for choosing the heaters for the home, you can read the corresponding article!
