Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your Lasko heater.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Lasko heater, refer to the common solutions below:

• Heater Not Turning On:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning 120V AC outlet.
  • Check if the room's circuit breaker has tripped.
  • Verify that the power button on the unit or remote is pressed.
• Automatic Heating Function Failure: Some users have reported occasional issues with the automatic heating option. If this occurs, try turning the unit off and then back on to reset the function.
• Insufficient Heat Output:
  • Confirm the heat setting is on High (1500W) or Auto mode with a sufficiently high target temperature.
  • Clean the air filter as described in the Maintenance section.
  • Ensure the heater is not obstructed and has adequate clearance for airflow.
• Unusual Noises (e.g., "sqwawky" fan): While the unit is designed for quiet operation, prolonged use can sometimes lead to minor fan noises. Ensure the unit is on a stable, level surface. If noises persist or worsen, contact customer support.
• Heater Turns Off Unexpectedly: This unit is equipped with overheat protection. If the heater overheats, it will automatically shut off. Unplug the unit, allow it to cool down for at least 10 minutes, and check for any obstructions to airflow before restarting.
