Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Brightown Wall Heater, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Heater not turning on: Ensure the ALCI plug is reset (press the reset button on the plug). Check that the unit is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Verify that the power button on the unit or remote is pressed. Confirm there is no power outage in your area.
