20 Most Recent Vornado EH1-0014-01 Compact Heater Questions & Answers

Dust on the inside of the unit can cause the overload switch to shut many vornados down. Blowing the dust out of the unit with compressed air or a blower may help.

Another problem that causes vornados to stop working (light on - no heat no fan) is when one of the bearings starts to go bad in the unit. This causes the fan to be slower and less effective and the unit’s inability to move the heat away from the thermal overload switch again causes it to shut down.

Though you could remove the front and rear bearings and try to get replacements if it's even replaceable ... Once the bearing starts to go bad there is little that can be done ... HOWEVER, here is one solution to get more life out of the unit.

First, use a blower to blow all the dust out of the unit.
Then, because it is typically the front bearing that goes bad first, lay the vornado on it’s back (so the unit would be blowing air up toward the ceiling), this will relieve the front bearing somewhat and rely more on the rear bearing which tends to last longer.

The vornados I’ve had are all thermistor units ... that is, they don’t just turn on and off when the set temp is reached but in fact slow themselves down (both heat and fan) to keep some level of air circulation in the room. This is a good thing by the way.
There are usually two toggle switches .... one is a heat switch - usually Low & High .... the other is the thermistor switch (this sometimes is labeled “fan”) - usually Auto & High.

Once the unit is on its back ... Now, change the settings as follows:
Turn the Heat switch to LOW
Turn the Fan switch to HIGH
Turn the dial (with the temperature in degrees on it) to the lowest setting - which is somewhere around 60’ish.

Now turn the unit on and it should stay working.
Three things that could cause it to turn back off ...
You turn the Fan switch back to Auto.
You turn the Heat switch back to High
You turn the temperature selection dial too high ... though, you can cautiously turn the dial up a few degrees at a time ... the unit will start shutting down again when you set the temp too high ... then just dial it back down ... unplug for a couple minutes, then turn back on.

Sometimes too much dust around the heating elements can cause the heater to switch off to prevent a fire. Check for dust build up first. You can try using a can of compressed air that can be found at many electronic stores.

Question edited for clarity, order of words. Check the fan for continuity with a multimeter. There are additional ideas here including the thermal cut out. https://www.google.com/search?q=Vornado+VH2+Whole+Room+Space+Heater%2C+fan+not+working ..

Yes Pat It is an easy job that can be done in 30 minutes or so. At Home Depot, you can buy wire with the plug attached or you can buy wire and a plug separately. I can tell you where places will fix it in Toronto, Canada, but do you live in Toronto? This link will take you to someone near you, or you can just drop into a local vacuum seller and repairer. That was where I went for something or other. I just said to the guy, "can you put a new lead on this"? He looked at it and said "sure it will be ready in 2 days". https://www.google.com/search?q=local+appliance+repair ..

From what you have said, I am guessing that you shorted out the little controller chip(s) on the circuit board. Some of the Vornado heaters are serviceable by the company but you would have to check your model number. They have a live chat that can tell you if you go to Vornado.com and click on support you will see it.

It may well just be accumulated dirt,dust,lint, or pet fur but if it does not stop soon I would remove covers or filter or whatever to get to heat source and either vacumn out or blow out with air. It's hard to be real specific as I don't have much information about your heater. If you want to give me more information I would be happy to try to help you. Thanks.

Hi,

No, but the switch does go bad and so that sometimes... if you cannot get the switch to work the best options is to replace it...

Here are the steps you might want to follow: Setting the Draining Cycle Times (Dump Interval): This setting controls how often the unit dumps the water. You can adjust this setting to reduce the frequency of water dumping. Setting the Drain off Delay Time (Dump Delay): This setting controls the delay time before the unit starts to dump the water after it has been turned off. If adjusting these settings doesn't work, there could be other issues with your unit. For example, a continuous water dumping problem could be due to a faulty dump valve or a problem with the float valve.
