Top 20 Patton POH2520-U Oil Filled Radiator Heater Questions & Answers

Oil heaters produce no fumes or flames and feature whisper-quiet operation. Because the oil within the heater never needs to be replaced, oil-filled heaters are maintenance-free. In addition, these types of heaters are compact and portable - allowing you to carry them from room to room. Many also feature carrying handles or a set of casters for easy mobility
some of these types of heaters have a hole with a plug, that allow you to add oil, but few of these are in use today. so this being said it is most likely the heating element is failing to fully heat up the oil. parts may be found, if researched in detail on the net


also be known that the electrical componets are most likely to fail befor the oil evaporates. so look at all overheating controls and so on.

good luck,

It' probably just the switch or thermostat

I have a RD125T heater. At first it would run for a while and shut down. Turn it off and back on it would do the same. Now when it is turned on it acts as if the switch was being turn off and on. Sometimes the heater will fire for a second then shuts down. Most of the time it just shuts down, Forest

Unfortunately you can't. These are made overseas and badged to whomever sells them. The manual for the 9000 model is available, but not yours. This may be the closest? http://www.useandcaremanuals.com/pdf/WOFH7167.pdf https://www.google.com/search?q=Patton+POH2420+manual ..

I would try the manufacturers web site.

Check the base for a tip over safety switch. It needs to be pressed in. Can't find a manual for it as it appears to be an Amazon, Walmart special. Try it in another outlet, or put something else in that outlet that is known to work like your cellphone charger. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Patton-Radiant-Heater/15126054 https://www.google.com/search?q=Patton+PRH11+manual .. ..

Wires are rated to handle a certain amount of amps. Your dryer cord is bigger than your coffee maker cord because your dryer pulls more amps. What is going on with your heater is your heater is drawing more amps than the wire can handle. Therefore the wire is getting hot, melting the insulation. Hopefully it shorts out before it catches on fire!!! BOTH BAD SCENERIOS!!! It is possible your machine is just excessively dirty, therefore working extremely hard, drawing high amps. If you are able to give a good cleaning, do so. Let dry and turn heater on DURING A TIME WHEN YOU CAN MONITOR IT, NOT OVERNIGHT. See if it has made a significant improvement. If not, it's time for a new heater!! Best Wishes!! If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_092728000e6acb79

Work 1 foward

If the light on your Patton space heater is on, but the heater will not start, there are a few things you can try to fix the issue:

1. Check the power source: Make sure the heater is plugged into a working outlet and that the circuit breaker or fuse is not tripped.
2. Check the thermostat: Make sure the thermostat is set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature. If the thermostat is set too low, the heater will not turn on.
3. Check the safety features: Some space heaters have safety features, such as a tip-over switch or overheating protection, that will shut off the heater if it is not positioned properly or if it gets too hot. Check to make sure the heater is positioned correctly and not too close to anything that could cause it to overheat.
4. Clean the heater: Over time, dust and debris can accumulate in the heater, which can cause it to malfunction. Unplug the heater and clean it thoroughly, making sure to remove any debris from the heating element.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, there may be a problem with the heater's internal components. In that case, it is best to contact the manufacturer or a qualified repair technician for further assistance.

I doubt that they have any Teflon in them, and it would certainly have burned off by now if it did.

You need to include more information: Model number would be helpful. You could also try checking your product manual and seeing if they list a way to unlock the phone.

The thermostat is probably shot. These units are repairable but disposable, meaning the repair will likely cost as much as a new unit.

Please see the two previous answers to your question.

Look you need to contact Patton Heaters directly and let them know about their faulty product. While you are at it give that son of yours a big hug and kiss and let him know how much you really love him. This site is people like myself giving helpful hints on repairing products we are not a part of Patton or are we affiliated with them. Consumers affairs may be worth your while as well, try Better Business too. You are very fortunate to have this out come.

More than likely, the alarm is a warning that the heater is not sitting perfectly level, check to make sure that it is sitting level. Or it could be a carbon monoxide warning. Open a window, just slightly, and see if that fixes the problem. Also, the appliance could be overheating, which could be a problem.

it will work as long it has the opens out for to get air..and is well sealed....the reason why it is used outside at the window is just cosmetic...do avoid its presence inside..but if it is powered and have a opening to the air outside it will work ..

HEY< that could be the trouble, before you buy a circuit board cause it sounds like its doing its job. Take the rubber hose aloose from the fan switch and and while its starting, put the hose in your mouth to feel a suctions if not or a soft suction , then remove the hose off the motor while off and clear the end out with something that ,ll clean the opening out and connect the hose back and start the system again. T Y V M!

Return heater to Home Depot.

THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM, BUT CHECK YOUR UNIT AND SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR YOUR UNIT. 2 UNITS THAT I KNOW OF ARE PATTON M# HF-10 AND SEARS M# 201-7208
