Thank You ... no; no. That's not good enough. I'll start over. A MONSTEROUS BIG THANK YOU, Homestead! Tonight, I will not lie shivering but will rest soundly and comfortably in my bus conversion because my space heater is fixed & working again. Your DIY space heater fix video was spot on! Following your lead, I had my heater (that has worked in 2 to 6 sec intervals followed by 20mins of nothing for months now) running again in less than 30mins AND at $0 expense! I am appreciative, have subscribed & clicked thumbs up!

I'm in San Antonio, Texas. Weather app says 35°F feels like 26°F. My heater just went out, an since this being Texas a state where 'most' Texans prefer Summer Over Winter weather. Stores are lacking space heaters right now. So this video is coming very handy for me right about now. I explain all of this 1.) For people in upper statea q+s who are use to cold weather. 2.)are going to criticize this video because of the potential saftey hazard of bypassing the the thermostat an cut-off sensor. 3.) Plainly to thank people like this guy for making little everyday life situations more (relaxing/easier) & more knowledgeable.. SO I THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. [("P.S. Nice Guns By The way man..Ha)].

Glad I could help. I never thought I would help so many people out with this video, but I'm glad that I did. Your right...some people dislike this video bc I bypassed everything but, Like you We had to have heat. Our main source of heat for the house is floor heaters and a fireplace. So when one goes out the fix has to be immediate. The Temps here are in the 20's & 40's and we're still using 2 heaters that I fixed when this video was posted. You stay warm my friend- Taco

My Comfort Zone, which looks very much like yours, I just repaired after jumping around the safeties on the tilt switch and found that ok. Jumped the thermostat and I HAVE heat now. Looked at thermostat and realized that the contacts looked like points on older car's distributors. I next filed the contacts with a fingernail clipper file . Working great, unit is 5 years old

Much appreciated. I bypassed the thermostat,, and simply wired the 2 blacks together, and off, fan, lo, and hi are still selectable. We use one of these overnight in our basement to keep our cat warm. Since there is no safety anymore we will not be using this particular one for that, but at least we will have it for the winter when we are able to keep an eye on it. Thanks for saving us the 20 bucks on getting a new one!

Thank you so much! My heater is almost the same. Exact function and wiring, but white with a different fan. Something happened with that rotary switch where one day I trusted the switch to OFF and it kept going. When I came back to use it, the switch wouldn't turn at all. I suspected the wiring was, like you said, a simple positive and negative. But the thermostat always worked. So what I did instead was I removed the switch and drilled a hole for a simple on/off toggle switch. For safety I got a 20A 125V AC toggle switch with that round metal lever that flips up and down. Then I cut off the 3 leads on that rotary switch that went to the heater and the fan. (The fourth lead is the hot input for the switch so it wasn't necessary to transfer since we were replacing the switch). I tied all of those wires in the rotary switch together to one of the new toggle switch leads. I tried the hot wire from the plug into the other toggle switch lead. Now I can flip it on or off, and I can still use the thermostat to control the fan speed.

Came across your video and it work wonders! Although you don’t need to connect the white wires if the top switch isn’t broken for sure. Both heaters stopped cause that stupid heat sensor so you really just need to do the black wires on the bottom

I let it cool for 30 mins outside, tried to plug it and that pos wont budge even ice cold. Now i'm gonna tear it down again and bypass all that shit just like you did.

@@tacitohomestead4851 update; i bypassed the bs themostat and the thermal sensor, for sure one or both were dead, i had a very noisy grumbling fan, i noticed when you held the unit inverted it was almost quiet so i took it apart again ( 4x in 24hrs lol ) and loosened the motor's two bolts and flipped the motor upside down. it's now on a test bench running wide open for a few hours to make sure nothing melts. For now i'll leave the "two step" switch so i can still run it at half power if it gets too hot. i use mine in emergencies with a firman generator so i like to make sure everything is old school fail safe.

I honestly wouldn't bypass a safety feature like that knowing that it broke because the kids kept knocking it over. You're just asking for your house to be burned down. If I didn't have mischievous kids, I'd just hard wire the heater like you did but use an external thermostat. There's no reason to cook a room to ridiculous temperatures, and the cycling will keep the cord and plug from overheating. In your case, I would go online and replace the thermostat/safety switch. You might have to drill out the rivets, and either install the new switch with a rivet gun or bolt it in. Your other option would be to get another heater, and use the old heater somewhere else. They're inexpensive. A new heater is a lot cheaper than a house. Also, just drill it into your kids to respect things like heaters. It will save them a lot of pain in the future.

My switch to put on high medium low was bad so I removed all the wires from it and I connected all the white wires together and the black wires together which was two wires i didnt mess with the thermostat two black wires thats connected to it and the heat came back on .I tape them up and i was good to go its even hotter then at 1st im assuming is your thermostat is messed up you would connect those two wires together so you would have 2 sets of black wires connected 2 each and 3 white wires all connected and it should work for u

Hey if anyone has this heater and they take it a part and notice that the safety switch is still all together but not working…. Take the underside tab of it and bend it to connect with the middle metal tab part in the safety switch. It uses metal tabs on each side and a weight to determine connectivity. It may take 2-3 tries to get it perfect

Good information in a pinch but time to throw it away as soon as you can replace it. Saving $20 isn't worth the house fire. Wanting to go years on a heater like that is just stupid, especially when you have kids knocking them over. Now if you were mounting this to something solid, it wouldn't be so bad without the protections you removed assuming the thermal fuse is still in place. I personally use one of these in my garage and the tip over protection being absent is a requirement. But since I'm in the middle of a storm where I need it and it broke it's been bypassed, when it can be replaced it's getting dismantled and trashed.

Does the coils on yours turn red? Just bought 4 of these and while they heat they are not turning red and not very hot
@tacitohomestead4851
@tacitohomestead4851 Жыл бұрын
The fan keeps the coils from turning red. We had one where the fan motor went out and the coils turned bright red which isn’t supposed to happen.

I'm glad I could help. I may not be very technical savvy, but I can redneck something in a heartbeat. I didn't have anything to do that day so I figured I would tackle a broken heater just for fun. I never thought it would get so many views or comments. Some good.....Some bad lol. Sometimes you just don't have all the parts or are able to get them you just do what you can. Thanks for comment It's good to hear from you. Taco

If the heater is working but the light isn’t then the wire for the light is disconnected could have corroded or melted loose.

OG you can’t do that, maybe you should not make a video about this subject because you just don’t know as much. I don’t know much about Forced Air Space Heaters, and that’s what Im on this page, but my friend ur broadcasting how to bypass some very important safety features
@tacitohomestead4851

Thanks for your input. I did what I had to do to make the heater work . The parts on the heater melted before I wired it up so really the heater was defective before I bypassed everything. As a matter of fact every one of these heaters shorted out and melted the thermostat including all safety features without me touching it. I haven’t had any issues with them after I bypassed everything. I agree not the safest measure but we have heat.

Well, we all know it's not safe. We all know that this fix involves bypassing a safety feature. We are here because we want to do that. It is in fact sometimes useful to know how to bypass safety features, and not inherently irresponsible to simply make a video about doing that.
