How to fix a Bionaire BCH9212 Heater that does not turn on?
If your Bionaire Heater isn't turning on, there might be several reasons. First, ensure it's properly plugged into a working electrical outlet. If the outlet doesn't hold the plug securely, have it replaced by a licensed electrician. Check if the timer is activated (on models with a timer) and press the power button to turn the heater on. Also, make sure that the tip-over switch isn't engaged by setting the heater upright on a level surface (only applicable on models with Tip-over protection). If none of these work, unplug the heater and remove any obstructions, positioning it at least 0.9m (36") away from objects.

Why does my Bionaire BCH9212 make an unexpected noise?
You may hear a popping or crackling sound as your Bionaire Heater heats up. This is normal and safe operation. If the noise persists, please contact your local authorized distributor for Bionaire appliances.
Why does the fan speed on my Bionaire BCH9212 Heater not change?
The fan speed on your Bionaire Heater doesn't change because the Max/2 and Auto settings control the heat output, not the fan speed. To get maximum heat output, run the heater in Max/2 mode.
What to do if my Bionaire BCH9212 power light is flashing?
If the power light on your Bionaire Heater is flashing, or if the heater turns on at the Max/2 setting but shuts off after 2 seconds with the power light flashing, it indicates that the Auto Safety Shut-off system has been activated due to a potential overheat. Follow the Auto Safety Shut-off instructions to reset the heater and allow sufficient time for it to cool down before plugging it in again. Also, check if the tip-over switch is engaged and set the heater upright on a level surface.
Why does my Bionaire BCH9212 Heater cycle on and off frequently?
Your Bionaire Heater might be cycling on and off frequently because the thermostat automatically turns the heater on and off to maintain the selected comfort level. To reduce how often this happens, turn the Dial Wheel to the highest setting. Also, it is normal for the heater to turn on every 10-15 minutes and run for a minute to accurately maintain the room temperature.
What to do if my Bionaire BCH9212 is blowing cold air?
If your Bionaire Heater is blowing cold air, there are a few possible reasons. First, if the heater is in Thermostat Mode and has reached the set temperature, it will automatically perform a 15-second cool down by blowing cold air to ensure thermostat accuracy. To resolve this, raise the temperature higher or change the setting to Auto or Max/2. Alternatively, the unit might be in the Fan Only setting, in which case you should press the Max/2 or Auto buttons. Finally, check if the Power Button was accidentally pressed to turn off the heater; if so, press the Power Button again to turn it back on.
Why is the power light flashing on my Bionaire BCH9212 Heater?
If the power light on your Bionaire Heater is flashing, or if the heater turns on at the Max/2 setting and then shuts off quickly, it could be due to the auto safety shut-off system being activated because of potential overheating. To resolve this, follow the auto safety shut-off instructions to reset the heater and allow it sufficient time to cool down before plugging it in again. Also, check if the tip-over switch is engaged by setting the heater upright on a level surface (only applicable on models with Tip-over protection).
