This heater has worked very well for almost two years. But the past day it just stopped working. Anyone have a solution?

I returned mine the same week it arrived; initially it exhibited an odd noise, then it ceased producing heat. The Soleus has a lovely design, but apparently (for some) flawed mechanics.

No, but you are lucky it lasted 2 years. I had purchased 3, 2 for myself, and 1 for a friend. They All stopped working before a year was up. Customer service was difficult to reach. Horrible product, horrible customer service.

Had it been knocked over or jolted? Usually you have to buy a new one when it stops like that.

Beverly, you didn't state your model or how old the unit, but one common weak link is the on/off switch may be faulty, the second primary failure mode would be the heater coil/thermostat and would generally be cheaper to buy a new one than try and fix. If you have a handyman around he should be able to check out the on/off switch.

same thing happen to me, I got a new part for the heater it kept doing the same thing, so I just stop using it, because it will go out at night an you will wake up cold, I think it is a bad heater.

We have the same issue, but did nothing to cause it and it stopped working. It was cool for about a day! Expensive to die so quickly. (This was for my husband, and he was careful with it.)

Hello, You might try to unplug it from the wall outlet for a minute and plug it back in again. If it doesnt work try it again. If that doesnt help your control thermostat on the front panel on the unit might be defective. I never liked the Lifesmart Heaters because mine was bought defective right out of the box new. It increased my electric bill too because it ran constantly. I will never buy another one again. If you need a new thermostat control you have to take the whole unit apart. If you have some warranty left on it they might fix it at the factory if you ship it to them. My Lifesmart Heater has a help number located on the back panel or check your owners manual. I hope this helps you out. Hello, You might try to unplug it from the wall outlet for a minute and plug it back in again. If it doesnt work try it again.

Mine too. There is an electrical connection behind the control panel that overheats and starts to burn the wire insulation when the heater is on high. It is connected to the pendulum switch that would power-off the unit if it tipped over. I contacted Kaz (the actual mfgr) but they weren't interested in fixing or replacing the heater.

I would contact the Lasko company. Mine has given me zero problems, but there are a lot of safety features on the heater. It will shut itself off if any of these problems arise. Sorry, that's all I can suggest.

I have had my first one for 5 years and it still works.Its just now showing signs of not working good and I retired it.I will only buy these heaters.Only thing that I don't like is it drys out the air in my house.But i put pan of water out and helps.But all heaters will do that.

Take the plug apart. You will find a fuse there. Replace it. If this doesn't work, the heater element is burned out, and you'll have to buy a new one. Typically these things last about 2 to 3 years. Good luck.

Your heater is broken. This happened to me as well. I've gone through a lot of steam cleaners, but this had the shortest life span.

i think there is some kind of warranty e mail them they were very responsive when i asked if i could buy a new top i think the problem would be shipping the defective heater back they might take your word for it but they might not i have had mine for two years i have had no problems

You mean it stopped working? I can't answer your question, because I no longer own my heater. I sent it back after only one week, back in December 2010.

The station should have come with another replacement heating element. I would first try replacing your old heating element to see if that fixes the iron. Also make sure the tip is clean and tight in the iron. I would also change the tip out with one of the other you got with the station just to see if that makes a difference. I have had mine for two years, use it about once a week and it's still working well. Hope this was helpful to you.

Mine is abut 4 years old and never has any problem until last week, it would stop working in less than a minute by itself and then restarted later. Otherwise, I love this little heater.

When we had a similar problem, it turned out that one of the two heating elements was corroded through. (We have well water.) We had both elements replaced, and so far so good. This happened after we'd had the water heater for several years. If yours is fairly new, it could be a lemon. Hope you can get the problem fixed.

Hi - we had a similar problem and contacted the company. They were extremly helpful and replaced the unit . A pain shipping it back but the replacement was quick and the second unit works perfectly .
