check your amps, possibly a bad limit switch, possibly a bad element. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_092728000e6acb79

Im.sure there is safeties on access panels. Put it back together and try again. Be sure you have removed all packing material!! Your element should begin glowing in seconds. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_092728000e6acb79

Could be either. But, I suspect that wiring is getting hot enough to trip the breaker. Check all of your wiring to see if there is a hot spot or insulation melted.

Northern Tool sells ceiling mount Fahrenheat Heaters Try them, they may have it as an accessory or optional item.

fan motor control switches are set for 130 degrees to start and stop the fan, yours is fused shut so the fan will not turn off, there will be 2 such units in your heater the other is the high limit gas cut off switch locate your fan switch usually has an egg shape with a screw or nut holding on each tab,,so 2 screws or nuts, mark the locations the wires connect to the switch, some have a 3 wire unit, bring the faulty switch to a local plumbing and heating outlet and simply match yours to any available unit in the temp range yours is set to or 130 degree limit, and also has the same wire count, should be around 15 bucks or so good luck

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

you will have to install a 30 amp breaker, and make sure the wire is rated for 40 amps, or 110% of 30 amps, you can wire direct to the heater if you wish.

1st you will belucky if you actually have 240 v, most
homes are usually 220v. In youyr case you need to start at the breaker panel.

This is an example:
You have a Double Pole Single Throw breaker. Black
Wire is hot and goes into one side of breaker,if you havea red wire that goes into the other have of the
breaker.

The white wire ties in the nuetral bar and the bare wire into the ground bus bar. At the unit you hook up the red and the black wire which will supply the 240
Volts, you could tie the white and the ground wires together into the grounding terminal

My place of choice when purchasing for the warehouse is Grainger, if you have one close by. They usually have these items in stock or will get them for you quickly. Give them a try.

i take it has a remote thermostat, just remove the 2 wires from it and hold them together, if the unit stays on then it's your thermostat. if it goes out..maybe you overheat safety switch is kicking in..

Hi,
To know what to tell you you need to know if it is 1 phase or 3 phase and what the voltage is that it will be running on...

Assuming that it is 240v 1 phase current you will need at least a 40 amp 2 pole breaker and #8 wire for a distance of upto about 100 ft. if longer then you need to go up to #6 wire....

7500 watts / 240v equals 31.25 amps... so a thirty to too small and you will need the 40....

Wire sizing needs to go larger as the run gets longer...

I would clean fan blades and motor housing. Blow out motor with compressed air if possible and check for oil ports on both ends of motor housing. If your motor has oil ports they may have plastic or aluminum plugs in them. If so remove themand put 3-4 drops of fine grade oil in. I hope this helps. Thanks

Hi,

The heater is too small for the space you are heating....

You need to get a second heater or get a bigger heater to get more heat...
