When the alarm on the Patton Electric Heater...
posted by RogerD on Jan 05, 2008
I have two 1500 watt Patton Electric Heaters, model# PRH11. They have NEVER been turned over, so I don't understand why the alarm is sounding. I cannot find a way to turn the alarm off so I can use the heaters. This seems to occur when the heaters have been running at least one cycle, shut off, and then the thermostat attempts to restart the heater.
Got any ideas? I've been inside and see anything unusual or obviously wrong.
Thanks for your help.

I was afraid of that. I've noticed that seems to trouble a good number of heaters because they are so poorly designed. I guess that boils down to 'don't buy an American made electric heater' because they're deigned by high school vocational classes not professional electrical engineers!!
Thanks again Bruce.

I have the same irritating unit and there is not a solution beyond buying a different heater. The alarm is sounding because the heater's thermometer is hot and it thinks you are warm enough. You cannot tell it otherwise; all you can do is wait for the heater to think you are cold again, then it comes back on.
