What to do if your electric heater fan is not working?
The first thing to do is use your hex driver or screwdriver to open the case so you can see the electric heater fan. Use your voltage regulator to carefully check the connections, starting at the circuit board and moving to the fan and thermostat. Find and single out the problem area, where the lines are not getting the proper voltages.
How do you replace an electric heater fan coil?
Find the electrical connections on the coil and remove them, and then dismount the coil. Install the new coil and close the case up. Be sure to reconnect everything properly before turning it on. In older units, the electric heater fan is not connected to the temperature gauge.
How can I repair a broken electric fan?
To repair one of these, you will need a heat resistant metal wire clamp. It should be made of a conductive material such as steel so the current will pass through it to the connected wire. Take the two broken ends and clamp them tightly together to repair the broken circuit.
What makes an electric heater fan heat up?
The coil is what will heat up, which builds temperature for the electric heater fan to blow into the room. Modern heaters generally have a replaceable heater coil unit that can simply be installed.
What should I do if my electric heater fan is not working?
Replacing a circuit can be easy, whereas replacing or repairing the coil can be much more complicated. If the electric heater fan comes on, and you are not getting heat, it could be a blown circuit or resistor or a broken heater coil. You will want to open the case and start testing the circuits with the voltage regulator.

Why does my furnace blower not turn on?
Is your furnace blower motor not working and there is no air coming out of your vents? Perhaps your blower motor has burnt out and you need a new one. Or maybe it is just simply not getting any power therefore not turning on. In this video I show you how you can check if your HVAC blower motor is bad or if it is the control board that is defective.
