Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Heater not turning on / Water not heating | Not plugged in; power outage; faulty outlet; heater malfunction; water level too low. | Check power connection and outlet. Ensure heater is fully submerged. Verify the set temperature is higher than the current water temperature. If issues persist, the unit may be faulty. |
| Water temperature is too high/low compared to setting | Inaccurate thermostat; heater too powerful/weak for tank size; external temperature fluctuations. | Use an external thermometer to verify tank temperature. Adjust the heater setting gradually. Ensure the heater wattage matches your tank size (50W for 5-15 gallons). Consider ambient room temperature. |
| Water inside heater / Heater appears burnt | Heater operated out of water; seal failure; manufacturing defect. | Immediately unplug the heater. Do not use a heater with water inside or visible burn marks as this poses a severe electrical hazard. Contact customer support for replacement under warranty. |
| Heater constantly on/off (rapid cycling) | Poor water circulation around heater; heater too powerful for tank size. | Relocate heater to an area with better water flow. Ensure proper wattage for tank size. |
