I just did a search, and I learned that your heater has two settings-- two different levels of heatT

Power 1,500 - 1,000 Watt

So-- likely position #1 will be 1,000 watts, and #2 will be the greater number: 1,500 watts.

Just doing the Math, the 1,000 watt setting will use 2/3rds of the amount of electricity, (and thus put out 1/3rd less heat!)-- compared with the 1,500 watt setting.

If you have to run this heater on an extension cord (NOT RECOMMENDED I might add!)-- the lower wattage would be the safer, and more efficient setting.

I hope this helps-

THE PILOT LITE IS LIT BUT HEATER WILL NOT FIRE. I JUMPED THE THEMOSTATE BUT STILL WONT FIRE. THE HEATER IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD? IT IS A MILLIVOLT HEATER 206

You have a "Standing Pilot" system with a thermocouple which generates millivolts to energize the solenoid on the gas valve causing it to open. This allows the gas to enter for heating.
The majority of the time this thermocouple goes bad and needs changing.bobicehouse_4.gif

I am not getting heat all the time into my 1990 Maxima I flushed the system and replaced the engine themostate. Water flows threw the heater coil. What is next?

There are 2 thing is can think of right off the bat. Is the blower motor working? If your heater core and heater valve are working, is your duct valves working? They open and close using the car vacuum. When you shift your control to heat, you should hear the duct open or close. allowing only heat from the heater core. You may have a bad actuator valve or a leaking vacuum hose. That's all I can think of right now, hope this helps

No heat blowing out of heater. changed themostate and checked fuses

The heater tap is not working, find it under the hood where the heater pipes go through the bulk head, If the tap works there is a blockage in the heater radiator or the tap is faulty or the controller inside the car is faulty.

How to work a slimline creda nitestore heater

I have one of these heaters as well. The input/output dials are thermostats.

The higher the input dial is set, the more power the heater draws during its charge cycle (ie the "on" period that is set on your time panel). Which means a higher daily ration of heat, and a bigger power bill.

The higher the output dial is set, the more quickly the heater lets the stored heat out. So the highest setting would give you most of your daily ration of heat during the "on" period but less heat for the "off period... while the lowest setting would give you a relatively constant heat output throughout the day.

Heating not working

Have your heater core checked , or remove both the lines and hold a hose to one of them , turn the water on a little and see if it comes out the other tube. If it does then your heater core is fine.

Electric Dryer

Dont see a model # or make  but here some tips

 

You really need a volt / ohm meter to check for Continuity & Volts

Its well worth the investment... $15.00 bucks give or take a few

I would check to see if you have 220v to back of dryer where the cord mounts to dryer,

If dryer is getting only 1 leg 110 volts instead of the 220 will it not heat.

Check themostates & heater for Continuity... Most models, Now have a..

Hi-limit fuse that need to be checked for Continuity and replaced if bad

if you dont have a ohm meter you can hook the wires together
with a small piece of wire and by pass the themostates and hi limit fuse to see if thats the problem or not

THe cycling themostate control drum temp, hi limit on heater is a back up and the hi limit fuse on burner backs up it all
