Grandson put something in front of cadet heater. Now it's not working. Is there a reset button?

Please try the following hope it works:

1. turn off your phone
2. press volume up and power key
3. hold for about 15 - 20 seconds
4. wait for the red screen to appear
5. release
6. navigate using your volume keys
7. select factory reset
8. confirm using power button
9. reboot
If it works then enjoy else try something new ;)

hit the reset button behind the grate

Reset button...Is it also a breaker? After they trip a few times they can become weak. Also if possible check all the wiring and make sure all connection are tight and secure.

Disconnect the unit from it` s power source and make sure it cools down,then reconnect to power,and reset.

I had this same problem, which required a new heater. The thermostat tested fine. A bypass of the thermostat switch was attempted and the unit still would not work. The reset switch had never tripped to indicate a problem.

I have the same issue on my Cadet c202. Did you ever identify a solution on this?

My thermostat turns on, but the heater does not. Reset switch does not appear to be working, or this isn't the issue. I'm hoping I don't need a new heater.

Any help would be appreciated.

Probably the Thermal Fuse, it is in the Phase line after the main switch, & goes Open Circuit when "Blown".

heaters have a diode inside and it must of triggered it and perhaps blew it out if the reset doesnt work after a couple more times put it in the coll and see if it after over nigth set out will work the nest day keep me posted

Since I don't know what model of heater you have there might be a reset button to reset or an over temp switch (button sensor with 2 wires going to it) that needs to be replaced. You might check the recall list to see if this one has been recalled and should not be used.

that round metal thing is called a klixon overload. look on the side of it and an amperage range should be there. replace the unit and the element should work unless the element itself is blown. check for continuity across the element with your meter with the wires disconnected.
