How to fix a Cadet Com-Pak Electric Heater that doesn't turn off?
- S
  Sean MontgomeryJul 27, 2025
  If your Cadet Electric Heater won’t turn off, consider these possibilities: * **Defective thermostat:** The thermostat might be defective and needs replacement. * **Missing thermostat:** A thermostat is required for all Com-Pak heaters. Purchase a built-in or wall thermostat for your heater. * **Incorrect wattage:** The heater wattage might be incorrect for the room size. Install higher wattage model or additional heaters if circuit allows.

Why my Cadet Com-Pak doesn’t work?
- B
  Bryan EllisonAug 1, 2025
  If your Cadet Electric Heater isn't working, there are several potential causes: * **Loose supply connections:** Turn off the power at the main disconnect panel and check all wire connectors inside the heater, junction boxes, and the wall thermostat, tightening them as needed. * **Tripped high-temperature safety shutoff:** Turn off the power at the main disconnect panel, wait 20 minutes for the heater to cool down, ensure the heater isn't blocked and is clean, then restore power. If this happens frequently (more than once a day), the heater may need replacement. * **Tripped secondary high-temperature safety shutoff:** The heater needs to be replaced. * **Faulty supply circuit:** It is recommended to call a licensed electrician.

Why is my Cadet Electric Heater blowing cold air?
- L
  Latasha NelsonAug 5, 2025
  If your Cadet Electric Heater is blowing cold air or not getting hot, it could be due to these reasons: * **Failed element:** The element might have failed, requiring you to replace the heater. * **High-temperature safety shutoff tripped (Model CST only):** If only one side heats up, the other side may have tripped its high-temperature safety shutoff. To reset it, turn off the power at the main disconnect panel, allow 20 minutes for the heater to cool, ensure the heater is clean and not blocked, and then restore power. If it trips more than once a day, replace the heater.

Why does my Cadet Com-Pak Electric Heater smell?
- L
  Lori DiazAug 10, 2025
  If your Cadet Electric Heater smells after installation or after not being used for a while, it could be due to a few reasons: * **Odor from the element manufacturing process:** During the initial start-up, the heater might produce an odor from the manufacturing process, which should dissipate within a few hours. * **Dust or lint inside the heater:** Clean the heater to remove any accumulated dust or lint. * **Loose supply connections:** Turn off the power at the main disconnect panel and inspect and tighten all wire connectors inside the heater, at junction boxes, or the wall thermostat.

Why the fan/motor doesn’t spin or spins slow in my Cadet Com-Pak?
- G
  gfernandezAug 21, 2025
  If the fan/motor in your Cadet Electric Heater isn’t spinning or is spinning slowly: * **Voltage mismatch:** The circuit breaker might be 120 volts while the heater requires 240 volts. Double-check the voltage of the heater to ensure it matches the circuit's voltage. Replace the heater with a 120 volts model if necessary. * **Defective/misaligned motor:** The motor could be defective or out of alignment, requiring a replacement.

What to do if the breaker trips immediately after installing Cadet Com-Pak Electric Heater?
- T
  Taylor RussellNov 14, 2025
  If the breaker trips right after you install your Cadet Electric Heater, here's what might be happening: * **Short circuit:** A short circuit in the electrical supply wires or heater wiring could be the reason. Inspect the insulation of all heater and electrical supply wiring for damage. An incorrect connection in the heater or electrical supply wires may cause sparking or arcing. If unsure, call an electrician. * **Voltage mismatch:** The circuit breaker and heater might have different voltage. Double-check that the heater's voltage matches the circuit's voltage. If they don't match, replace the heater with a 240 volts model. * **Overloaded circuit:** The circuit may be overloaded. Use a lower wattage heater, or reduce the number of heaters on the circuit. * **Faulty supply circu...
