Subject:      propex heater problems
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi all,

I thought the south was supposed to be warm! But no. And my propex heater doesn't seem to be working.

Can someone who has one (or knows them) give me some info? I have this switch box/thermostat for it. The switch can go left, right or in the middle (middle is off) and the thermostat dial can go from what I assume is minimal heat (very short bars on the dial) to hottest (long bars on the dial).

When I switch it left, towards the little picture of a flame, red and yellow lights come on. The fan blows for ten seconds and stops. No heat, just cold air. When I switch it right, towards some other little picture that I can't interpret, one green light comes on. The fan blows constantly. No heat, just cold air. Turning the thermostat dial makes no difference to any of it.

What is supposed to happen when I turn the switch either way? And what would be causing this lack of heat?

Joy and Matilda, who are way too cold in Chattanooga
