Nowadays many homeowners start feeling the need for a warm house. And all of a sudden they face troubles with their heaters. If you have a wall mounted heater, you may experience issues with proper functioning. Stiebel Eltron is a popular model we meet in many houses. This is a proven brand made to be working for a long time. In fact, all appliances may face issues over the time or due to improper maintenance. There are a couple of hints you can personally do before calling a Pro. While the grille is in place on the heater, clean out the slots with the shop vacuum. With the cordless drill and a driver bit, turn out the screws that hold the grille to the heater box. Set the grille and screws aside. After first testing the voltage detector on a known live wire, test the inside of the wall heater to make sure that no power is present. Test at various points throughout the heater. Examine wire casing for nicks. The casing of all wires should be solid and free of nicks or cracks that might cause a short circuit. For minor nicks, wrap with electrical tape. Clean heater’s electric coils. With a thin nozzle attached to the shop vacuum, clean out the heater's electrical coils. Check inside of the heater to confirm that all debris has been removed from the coils. The coils must be spotless. Any debris left on the coils will smoke and possibly even catch fire. Vacuum out the blower (fan) carefully with the shop vacuum. Be careful not to dislodge or damage the delicate vanes of the blower. The blower should spin freely. It is vital to highlight that all the steps above require necessary skills for working with an electrical appliance. Remember to call a professional heater repair technician in case of need.
