Hi,

DeLonghi Space Heater does not Heat

Well, let's try doing some trouble shooting and give us some clues-- maybe we can help:

1.) Do you know if you have power into the unit?
(Like any indicator lights lit, or any heat at all-- or any buzzing sound?)

2.) If you have a little indicator light showing that you have power into the control or thermostat area-- are you intersted in opening it up, and tracing the circuit-- with a little volt meter?

Let us know what yo find, and how deep you want to dig into this to repair it.

These heaters last about three years,and are throw aways,unless you have some in the ole shed like I do.Checking the switches is the first thing to do,remove them to see if they are burned up on the other side where the connection is.If they are,that could be the smell,or the thermostat is melted down,and smelling,again,throw away,,or save it,and buy a new one,and you will have parts for when it goes out,if the switches are melted down,a compatible switch,if found,can be replaced in the heater,but something made the switches melt down,most likely a heating element in the tanks,non replacable.

Pl check the manual. There are certain heaters designed this way! I can not comment unless the manual is read.

There is a bottom element and a top element so the elements could be dead.

More likey, there could be no power coming from the wall - there are switches on the front that need to light up or the thermostat could be set to off.

I happened to be sitting here with a manual looking for a retail price so I could price it for a yard sale on Sat. I could email a scan (It's not lenghty)

take a heat gun or a blow dryer and preheat thermostat and any conductive leads.
after a few pre-heats it will get the idea!
