  If your Cadet Heater is running but the room isn't reaching the desired temperature, it could be due to: * Heat loss: Ensure doors and windows are closed to minimize heat loss. * Insufficient insulation: Add more insulation or consider using a higher wattage heater or multiple heaters, provided your circuit has the capacity. * Obstructed airflow: Make sure furniture or other items aren't blocking the heater, allowing air to flow freely. Keep a minimum distance of 18 inches from nearby surfaces.

Why does my Cadet EP101T trip the breaker immediately?
- B
  Bobby VazquezAug 27, 2025
  Your Cadet Heater might be tripping the breaker due to several reasons: * An overloaded circuit: The total amperage of all heaters on a branch circuit must not be more than the amperage rating of the circuit breaker and supply wire ratings. Use a lower wattage heater or reduce the number of heaters on the circuit. * A short circuit: Inspect all supply and heater wiring insulation for damage. Do not reset the circuit breaker until all electrical shorts have been repaired. * A faulty circuit breaker: Replace the circuit breaker. * A faulty heater assembly: Replace heater assembly.

  If your Cadet Heater discharges smoke or emits a burnt odor, it could be caused by: * Accumulated dust, lint, or other matter inside the heater: Clean the heater. See the "MAINTAINING YOUR HEATER" section for instructions. * Poor or loose electrical connections: Turn off the power at the circuit breaker and inspect all supply and heater wires for loose or poor connections. Secure or reconnect any loose connections. Do not reset the circuit breaker until all connections have been checked and repaired.
