  If your Cadet Heater isn't working, it might not be getting the right voltage. First, make sure the circuit breaker is correctly positioned. Then, check the voltage at the heater between the supply wires to be sure it matches what the heater needs. Also, incorrect wiring could be the issue. Double-check that the wires are properly and securely connected using the correct wire connectors, referring to the Owner’s Guide. If it still doesn't work, an electrician with an ohmmeter should perform further testing.

  If your Cadet Heater won't shut off, there are several potential causes. First, the room may be losing heat faster than the heater can compensate; try closing doors and windows, adding more insulation, or using a higher-wattage heater. A defective thermostat could also be the problem; turn the thermostat to its lowest setting and wait two minutes to see if the heater responds. If it doesn't, the thermostat likely needs to be replaced. Finally, the thermostat might be wired incorrectly; refer to the thermostat documentation to correct the wiring.

  If your Cadet Heater isn't heating the room quickly, it might be due to a slow initial warm-up, which typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Also, check the voltage at the heater between supply wires and make sure it matches required heater voltage.
