Check your paper work and see what the warranty is. Take the heater back to where you purchased it from.

hello the problem your having with the blower motor sound like the blower itself the brushes could be worn out causing the extra load on the blower resistor you may need to have a blower motor installed hopefully you won't need the resistor hope this helps you

SOURCE: heater quit blower not turning on

there are fuses just for the heater motor alone, a relay under the hood and a fuse in the fuses box, look in you owners manual if you have one or some times the marked. youll find the fuse box under the dash board or in the side of the dash board on the driver side and look for a black box under the hood, the book should tell u what relays and fuses are what

SOURCE: heater blows cold front and back

You could be low on coolant - better check.

Your heater core might be the problem:

SOURCE: 96 dodge dakota heater blower just quit blowing

The blower motor resistor is located inside the HVAC duct, (heating, ventalation, and cooling) on the passenger side footwell area. It is accessed from inside the passenger compartment.You can test it with a multimeter to see if it is open. it looks like this when removed.b8c93c9.jpgThey are about 33.00 from rockauto.com. When you find the connector on the duct that is connected to this resistor block, remove the connector with a small screwdriver, you have to find the lock tab and gently lift it up and pull on the connector to remove the connector. remove one screw and it will come out. most times you can tell if they are bad by looking at them. if you cant test it have someone you know that can do it. I am 99% positive that that is your problem, Unless the connector came loose. Please let us know if this was helpful as i strive to improve helping others on a daily basis.

Duraflame Heaters won't blow?

Question edited for clarity and translated into written English :>D
Question recategorized from Laundry Dryers to a Duraflame one.

It could be the blower.
It could be the thermostat.
It could be the element.

It needs testing by an appliance electrician. If you have a multimeter and the skill, you could do preliminary testing yourself.

Also, they make many models of heater. You could Google

Duraflame (model) no heat no fan.

'Dura Flame' all one word, I corrected that too.

2003 bick lesabre blower not working, changed both blower and resistor and fuses. Worked for a few days then quit.

Did you carefully clean out all the debris from the heater box? Did your new blower come with a new fan unit, or re-use the old one? Can you hear the motor run but not blow? These fans are fragile when old, and sometime break right where they attach, thus no blow. If not running, check for current at motor, then resistor, then fuse. Only thing left is the switch.

The bottom heating element keeps blowing breaker and bottom of heater is filling up with water around heating element

If there is enough water around element and lower thermostat, it's going to blow the breaker. If you don't have leaks at the pipes above, it's probably time to replace the heater. If the leak can be found and repaired, there may be hope for the heater but, if it is leaking past thermostat, you probably have a crack in the threads. Make sure, if your going to work with the wiring of the unit, that it is turned off and, if it is on, make sure you're careful and not standing in water. You could quite possibly have a cracke or broken tank.

Hello. Begin by replacing the thermostat. If you don't know how or where it is located, just ask at the auto parts store where you purchase it. Joe

My 2002 gmc serra has a issue with the ac and heater the lights turn on but no air I hit a bump and it will turn on for a second but it stop blowing air cold or hot what could it be....

the blower motor resistor relay are bad about shorting out and melting the connector causing a loose connection and when you hit it or a bump it'll make connection and work. look under the passenger side dash and you'll see two wires coming from the blower motor. trace those two wires to a little black box with somemore wires pluged into it and try to unplug the other connector that has about five wires coming from it. turn your key on and your a/c with the blower speed set on high, try moving those five wires if the fan blows and quits, then this is the problem. you'll have to replace the resistor and the wire connector.

Air conditioning and blowers not working, fuse blows immediatley after changing. there was a clicking noise heard before fuse blew. No display on dash unit. (2000 passat 1.9TDi Sport)

Try unplugging the blower resistor, located under the passenger side, under dash area, put a new fuse in and see if the fuse opens (blows). If it does not blow then unplug the blower located in roughly the same are and plug the resistor back in if it blows then it the resistor if not it's most likely the blower motor.
If the fuse blows when both resistor and the motor is unplugged the you need to unplug the a/c head unit and see if it still blows(open fuse)
Hope this helps

Blower motor quit

u should have a number on the unit to call if not call the place it was purchased and see if they can get u in touch with someone who can help but that should definitely be a warranty part

Electric dryer

Most dryers have two fuses in them, one inline with the heater element and another thermal fuse in the main circuit. The one inline with the heater element can blow and the dryer will still run, but will not heat. If the dryer gets too hot it may blow the thermal fuse and kill power to the entire system.

Depending on your level of handiness, you may take the cover off (make sure the unit is unplugged from power) and look for a blown fuse. Most dryers have a schematic for repair somewhere on the unit, usually in the top control area.

Forced air fan

You might have a sensor issue where it thinks it's too hot and kicks on the gas exhaust fan.
