Install and hot wire heater

I need to install a used fan forced room heater. I don't know the correct wiring sequence to my power source. It is a 240/208 volt. It has two loose black wires, one from the temp control and one from the fan motor. also, a green wire that connects to the fan motor. No loose white wires visable.

    Does the taped white wire in the heater also connect to one of the black wires in the heater and, if so, which one or does it not matter?

You can be assured that the element is 240 volt. The fan motor is also rated at 240 volt. the wires you have black - black are the connections you make to the line. Use a 12/2 with ground. Use a double pole 20 breaker in your panelbox. The green wire is the equipment ground - connect this to the bare wire from the 12/2. On the 12/2 cable - there will be two colors, one black and one white. Wrap a couple of turns of black tape on the white wire both at the heater location and on the white in the panelbox. connect the 12/2 to your 2 pole breaker, the black wire and the taped white to the breaker.

    when you run 240 volts to a heater, it is more practical to use a 2 wire romex rather than a three wire which has red, black and white in the assembly. you just don't use the white in the three wire - so - by applying a piece of tape to both ends of the white wire in the 12/2 romex, you are signifying to someone other than yourself that that cable assembly is carrying 240 volt - NOT - 120 volt. If there was no tape on the white then as an electrician I would assume that the cable is connected for 120 volt. Do you understand this? Use the tape on both ends of the romex [white] connect both wires in the 12/2 to the breaker screws. connect the other end in the heater to the two black wires and the bare to the green. Believe me, if you measure the voltage at the heater end, with the breaker on, you'll read 240 volts.

Coleman evcon electrical furnace doesnt force air intermittently
It sounds like the fan is not functioning. With the breaker, SSU, and/or power off check the wiring, tighten any loose wiring, and make sure nothing is blocking the fan from spinning. Check to see if it will spin by hand, if there is access. If it does, and you have power, then the fan motor may need to be replaced.

Does this help? Let us know.

I mean this respectfully, if the technician cannot wire a unit without a wiring diagram , he is not competent to do the work.
It is really very simple, If you look at the power lines entering a building, ther are but 2 hot legs of 115 volts for 230 volts and a earth / ground, every wire we will ever see are these 2 hot legs or a combination of them.
Every circuit requires 2 sides/legs of power, a device and a switch, begin at L1 go through switch to load return to opposite side of power from where you began, very simple.

If you do not know this a wiring diagram will tell him nothing but how to blindly try to follow some diagram he has no grasp of the theory behind or he would see how simple his dilamna is.

In heat mode but heat strips don't come on and the air handler fan dose not turn off
Maybe a bad sequencer.unplugged wire from sequencer and see it unit shut off .Sequencer is typically a relay

I replaced the heater blower resistor, and the fan is still missing the same speed?
The blower motor is ground side controlled through the switch first and then through the blower resistor. It is entirely possible for the resistor to be fine and the switch is actually your problem.

I need to know what speed is not working and if you have a test light or a volt meter? I will then be able to get you some detailed instructions on what to check to find the true source of you problem.

If you don't have a test light or a voltmeter than you next best possible fix is replacing the fan speed switch.

90 model electric unit heat up, shut down when time for fan to start. replaced fan assemblyalredy
I recently ran across this problem with an Intertherm air handler unit of a different model. The older sequencers were pressed together and after a period of years had worked themselves apart. This controls not only the fan relay but also the heat strips at the same time. The thermo disk was not operating the micro switches correctly as a result and had lodged itself between contacts keeping the fan on. The company (TOD) apparently realized this was occurring, as the new sequencers have metal saddle straps to hold the top half down onto the thermo disk correctly. I would suggest replacing the sequencer with the Exact same model as this is very important. (power off from all sources including the 24 volt first, and verify with a meter) Make a drawing of where the wires go and take a picture if necessary.

No, the resistance of the electric going through the one heater will cut down the voltage going to the second one and it will not get hot. You need to pull the power off where you hook to the first heater so that they both get full voltage. They need to be hooked up parrellel and not series.

A buzzing noise
Why do you say put in line to stop the buzzing? What is it that tells you the wire is creating the buzz?

It could be anything from a loose sheet metal part, rivet, fan, transformer, loose connection, or just the way it was built, although a loud buzz sounds like a problem waiting to happen to me.

No there is nothing to put in line to make it quit buzzing, I need to know all the information about the device, voltage, amps, brand, and then tell me how it is wired including number of wires, size of wires, voltage, how it is wired to what colors, how far from breaker, what breaker and size, and anything else that seemed unusual to you during install if anything.

Honeywell dial theromostat.
since you say it has a blank face it must be a digital thermostat. if the power is on to the furnace and the furnace door is on (door switch) and still does not give you a reading. You probably have a bad stat. if you are handy.... unhook the wires in the thermostat. jump the red and white wires together. the furnace should turn on. if it does the thermostat is bad. if it does not turn on its not the thermostat its the furnace

Any suggestions what the problem could be, Someone told me it could be the control circuit board. I don't want to buy a replacement board until I determine if in fact that is the problem. is there a way to test it? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks
