oc_chuckter Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hi, Turned on my heater for the first time in months today - Service Heater light is on and E01 error code displays.

Nothing is happening with the heater, no blower or other sounds. When turned on the display flashes a few codes (self-diagnostics I assume), then the Service light and error codes appear. Got a service man coming Wed, he didn't seem too worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleaned out the leaves & twigs, replaced the wires & all was well! Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkalla2000 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I have seen this happen twice. Both of the heaters had a rat living inside. One of the heaters started acting up, so I I took it apart and cleaned out the nest. The other heater started on fire and almost burned down the guy's garage. I tried putting metal screen in the vents, but the heater was not getting enough air flow. I have told Starite about this issue. Now I take these heaters apart once a month to inspect for debris.
