  If your Cadet Heater isn't running, try the following: first, make sure the thermostat is set high enough. If that doesn't work, check if the manual reset temperature limit control has tripped and press the reset button. Also, ensure the circuit breaker is on. Check for any broken or poorly connected wires. If none of these steps work, the thermostat might be defective, and the heater or its components may need to be checked for continuity to determine the cause; repair or replace the heater or thermostat.

How to fix a Cadet RM151 Heater that continually trips the reset button?

  If your Cadet Heater continually trips the manual reset, it could be due to a few reasons. First, the heater might be dirty, so clean it thoroughly. Second, check for blocked airflow around the heater, ensuring it's at least 6 inches from surfaces, 4.5 inches from the floor, and 3 feet from furniture. Lastly, the fan or motor might be jammed; remove any obstructions and press the reset button. If none of these steps work, consider replacing the heater assembly.

Why is my Cadet Heater fan running but not blowing warm air?

  If your Cadet Heater fan is running but not discharging warm air, it could be due to insufficient element temperature, so allow a few moments for the element to heat up. Also, verify that the supply voltage matches the heater rating. If the problem persists, the element may have failed and needs replacement.

  If your Cadet Heater will not shut off, it could be due to a few reasons: * Heat loss from the room exceeding the heater's capacity. Try closing doors and windows, adding insulation, or installing a higher-wattage heater (if your circuit allows). * A defective thermostat. Adjust the thermostat to its lowest setting and wait two minutes to see if the heater shuts off. If it continues to run and the room is above 50 degrees, replace the thermostat. * Incorrect thermostat wiring. Refer to the thermostat documentation and correct the wiring.

  If your Cadet Heater does not run, here are some possible causes: * The thermostat might be set too low. Increase the temperature setting until the heater starts operating. * The manual reset temperature limit control may have tripped. Press the manual reset button. * The circuit breaker might be off. Turn on the correct circuit breaker in the main panel. * There may be broken or poorly connected wires. Turn off the power and check the supply wire continuity and connections to the heater wires. * The thermostat could be defective. The heater or its components can be checked for continuity to determine the cause; repair or replace the heater or thermostat as needed.

Why does my Cadet RM151 Heater breaker trip immediately?

  Jeremy OlsonSep 3, 2025
  Your Cadet Heater breaker might be tripping immediately due to several reasons: the supply voltage may not match the heater's rating, the circuit could be overloaded, there might be a short circuit in the wiring, or the circuit breaker itself could be defective. To address this, verify the supply voltage, ensure the total amperage doesn't exceed 80% of the circuit breaker's rating, inspect for damaged wiring, and consider replacing the circuit breaker.

  If your Cadet Heater won't shut off, it could be due to a few reasons. The heat loss from the room might be greater than the heater's capacity, so try closing doors and windows or adding insulation. A defective thermostat could also be the problem; adjust it to its lowest setting and if the heater continues to run after two minutes and the room is above 50 degrees, replace the thermostat. Finally, the thermostat might be wired incorrectly; refer to its documentation to correct the wiring.

  If the breaker trips immediately when you turn on your Cadet Heater, it could be due to several reasons: * The supply voltage might not match the heater's rating, so verify the voltage. * The circuit might be overloaded. Ensure the total amperage of all heaters on the circuit does not exceed 80% of the circuit breaker and supply wire ratings. You may need to use a lower wattage heater or reduce the number of heaters on the circuit. * There could be a short circuit in the wiring. Inspect all supply and heater wiring for damage and repair any shorts before resetting the breaker. * The circuit breaker itself might be defective and need replacement.
