Why does my NewAir G56 have a burning smell?
- JJoyce BoydAug 9, 2025
A burning smell from your NewAir Heater could be due to a few reasons: * During manufacturing, a drop of oil may have fallen on the heating coil. This should evaporate quickly and not reoccur. Ensure the room is well-ventilated. * Combustible materials might be too close to the heater. Check and remove any combustible materials within 0.9 meters (3 ft.) of the heater. * There might not be enough space between the heater and the walls. Ensure a minimum clearance of 5.5 inches (14 cm) from both sides and the rear of the heater to adjacent walls. Reposition the heater if needed.
