Question about Sanyo STW0923H2 Thru-Wall/Window Air Conditioner

Electric Heater Coils Always On

I have a Sanyo through the wall heat pump unit. When I plug it in the heater coils start heating even with the dial in the off position. No matter where I turn the dial; heat,fan, or cool the heater coils stay on. The compressor seems to be working fine and the reverse switch seems to be working but with the electric heating coils on all the time of course all I get is heat. This is also very dangerous because as I said the coils stay on even with the fan off causing the unit to overheat and start smoking. Any help is sincerely appreciated.

We use the STW0925H! in 60 rooms on this property and have encountered similar problems that were caused by weldedd contacts on one of two relays that controls the electric strip heat. They can be replaced if needed.

PTHP's and PTACs employ thermal fuses as well as a bimetal limit stat on the heating element to limit risk if fan motor were to fail and the heating element were to remain energized. It would be wise to check that both are fuctioning properly while you are servicing the unit.

Should the fan come on the outside unit when the heater comes on?

If you have a heat pump unit then yes because the AC is working in reverse and makes heat from the outside unit. If you know you only have electric heat only then no.

Heat surge amish heater turns off and trips reset button

Do NOT use this unit as is!.
My experience is you have to pay to ship it for repairs and if out of warranty you should buy another heater. All electric heaters use the same power for the same heat unless its a heat pump, so save money and buy $30 WalMart heaters.

My sq inverter works on cold air but when changed to heat stops working

Some models don't use the compressor as a heat pump for heating. And only use electrical heating coils in the heat cycle.If yours is one of those. It may be a burned connection at the thermostat or at the heater coil. Heater coils may have a safety diode or fusible link that opens if the heater coil is on but there is not enough airflow. If that is the problem you will need to remove the bad heater coil and replace it.
If your unit is a "true" heat pump the change over valve could be stuck or it's coil burned out. If you know what it looks like you can measure the voltage at the coil. If you have voltage sometimes you can whack the valve with a screwdriver handle to "unstick" the valve.

Heat is always on either high or low never goes off for air only setting

if it's electric the heater could be shorted.one of the coils could be touching metal shorting it out,pull the heater out and check the coils for a break in them,next time send the brand name and model number.

sounds as if the heater coil itself is burnt out. These coils may be repaired if you can get an universial coil repair kit and rewire the heater coil yourself. Since the age of the unit is in question I don't know if it is possible to get a kit for repairs but you never know. I would check an a/c supply house for this kit. Good Luck on your repairs

Heater not blowing hot air display says lo

when the coils freeze up , from intake of outside air, when using the heat pump mode, the unit will try to defrost the coils before going back to heat mode. mine did this alot. does it kick back to heat after a few mins? also after 2 years , mine started having issues with the exhaust blower control and would go into warp mode and bang noise.seems like common issues for this unit.whether the amana, or haier version.

No heat

The element above the fan has brobably gone bad. you can take the grill off of the wall and inspect the coils for breaks with a flashlight. if you do see a break in the coils then the heater is toast.

Electric wall mounted heater

Make sure that the heater is mounted where convection currents occur freely. When heat builds up around the top of the heater its temperature will rise uncontrollably. You'll be luck not to get a fire.
