Need to replace 2 wire baseboard thermostat

Turn the circuit breaker (in your home's circuit breaker panel) that feeds that heater OFF. After the heater cools, remove the cover and check to see if the Thermostat wires have come loose. It may also be an electrical relay problem or the wall thermostat has gone bad.

Please view the videos below how to install...Good Luck ...Jim

VERY IMPORTANT TO DETERMINE YOUR VOLTAGE TO YOUR HEATER. HEATERS ARE EITHER 120 OR 240 VOLT!

BE SURE POWER IS OFF!


This video will show you how to install the wire and breaker for a 230 volt soursehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_582499&feature=iv&v=LXQoOWbU3DE

These two video will show you how to install the heater and thermostat.

You will have to replace the switch. That is the only solution at this point. You have killed the contact points inside the switch.

Is your fuse box and main power source large enough to handle the full load if all are turned on at the same time? Are you uses two pole breakers? you might only be feeding with 110 volt. This would prevent them from getting very hot.

I can help you if you still here.

You need a meter, it will be hard without this! If you have 220v in the wall, then think of it like this; each wire is 120v. Test to each other, you get 220v. The thermostat is a double pole, you said. So think of it like this, its an adjustable temperature controlled switch that lets electricity through at the temp. you set it at. If you have 120v from one wire connected to one end of the element, and the other 120v connected to the other end of the element, then it will work. DO NOT CONNECT THE 120V TOGETHER. IT MUST GO THROUGH THE ELEMENT FIRST. The thermostat should be between the power from the wall and the element, to control the temperature.

Make sure BOTH fuses on each heater circuit test ok -- they are no doubt 220V -- hence 2 fuses
