20 Most Recent Lasko 5610 Baseboard Heater Questions & Answers

My experience with Lasko heaters is with the small portable ceramic types. On mine there are two knobs. One is the "Power"; the fan symbol is for fan only, then (I) Low Power and (II) High Power 1500 watts. The other know is the thermostat from (-) to (+). Set the thermostat towards (+) until the temp in the room is the way you want it. Then turn the thermostat know towards (-) until the unit shuts off. This is now the temperature setting and the heater will cycle on and off to this setting. Hope this helps.

check your breakers

Based from your comments, it seems that you have a
defective digital control. Have a check up for this item.
It may need to be replaced. Hope this will help you.

From whatI have seen on base board heaters if I recall correctly, the thermostat may be sepperate. Usually thermostats on these have a round knob. 1 line goes to this and the other side of the thermostat goes to 1 end of th element and the othe line attaches to the other side of the element. Its possible you have the element wired in directky if it came without a thermostat and without instructions it may till be connected directly. You should have an L1 and L2 connection and hope there is a wire diagram on the cover.
THE reason these basebord heaters used to come without a thermostat is because they are (OR WERE)set up to add on additional heaters comming right on down the wall. At the last one you could tie in and get a correct rated thermostat installed in the center of the series.
Return to LOWES and ask them to remove the instructions and copy them for you from another like model. Or have them contact the manufacturer and request they fax a copy of instructions with a diagram. Also ask if the heater comes with a thermostat. It may stoill be sepperate in another kit. 

the thermal resister between the two reset breakers on the bottom is what the problem with mine was

Normally they have a tip over switch in the base. If the tip over is activated there should be nothing, no heat, no fan. It sounds like yours is heating up and burning dust in side it, but the fan isn't running. If you can open it up, you can see if the fan has been dislodged. A new one is $40 at Walmart. https://www.google.com/search?q=Lasko+heater+CT14320 ..

I have 2 screws on this same model 6221 that will not release.. At least I am assuming they are screws one in the top corner and one in the bottom corner.

Bench test. With heater tore apart, energized, a volt meter connected across the sensor will indicate a voltage when it opens. take note of aproximate temperature and compare with the sensor temp rated value. It takes a bit of skill to trouble shoot, repair, and put it back together. Toss it out if in doubt.

Either the Overheat switch, or perhaps the Tilt switch is shutting down the unit. Make certain there is nothing in front of the unit. Make certain the unit is flat on the floor.
