Troubleshooting
Heater not responding to switch
Verify that the main power supply to the heater and switch is on. Check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correctly made according to the installation diagram. Confirm the heater model is compatible with the HE8407 switch.
Switch feels warm during operation
Slight warmth may be normal under heavy load. However, if the switch becomes excessively hot, immediately turn off the power supply and have it inspected by a qualified electrician. Ensure the switch is rated for the heater's wattage.
Half heat or fan only settings not working
Check the wiring related to the specific function (half heat, fan only) to ensure it is correctly connected. If the issue persists, the internal switch mechanism may require professional inspection.
Difficulty mounting the unit
Ensure you are using appropriate wall fixings for the surface material. Refer to the installation manual for recommended mounting procedures. The unit should be securely fastened to prevent strain on the wiring.
