Well, welcome back to Steve Ryland reviews today we're gonna.
Look at this heater guys.
This is my 6000 watt.
Heater I got from princess Otto, it has two modes: a low and a high 3000 Watts 6,000 watts.
I got a problem with it.
So I'll show you exactly what the problem is.
This is the thermostat switch right here, and this is the low and the high between 3000 watt and 6000 watt, and the problem I ran into was every once awhile I'd come out in the shop and I'd go to turn it on and it would not shut off and then I play with the switch a bit and have would shut off originally, when I would turn it on you'd hear a little bit of a click as you turn it on and that stopped soon.
As that stopped I'll show you what happened.
Well, nothing happened.
There did that's, because I went in the back here and I actually unplugged it, because this is the problem.
I ran into is I can't shut this thing off, no more so I have to physically go to the receptacle and unplug it.
So what I'll do is I'll plug it back in, for you now and you'll see how this operates.
Okay, guys! That's it right there, so I plugged it in and no matter what I do.
This will not shut off, so I got to go down to the power, pour it every time and turn it off, and you know you can't be doing that so I'll show you what the resolve was.
I went to princess Otto I talked to one of their associates guys.
This is not under warranty.
I bought this one like I, showed in the original video.
It was like under one of these scratch and dent sales for what was it now? 75 bucks, yeah, 75 bucks, so I mean I, don't want to send it back or anything like that.
I just wanted to get a new switch, but I went read the reviews online for this particular heater and somebody else had a better idea.
So let's take a look at that next, okay, so this was the result.
After I looked at the the online different comments from people, there's no other people that have had trouble with this thermostat as well, so their resolve was to pick up one of these.
Now guys this is a remote thermostat.
You just stick on the wall and it's a 240 volt thermostat and it's actually got.
If you can see here closely, I'm not too sure has got an off-and-on on it and I told the associate.
I says Ian.
I says this would probably better for me, then that switch that's inside there, because you know what I did notice I got that heater up towards the ceiling, and you know what it shuts off a lot sooner than I'd like it to because, of course, all the heat rises.
So by the time the heat gets warm enough to go down to that level about six feet off the ceiling.
You know from I'm six feet off the floor.
Well, you know it shuts off to me too early I'd like to have my thermostat lower to the ground, so it's taking a reading lower down, rather than being so high up and then shut off early all the time so I'm gonna go with this, but I've never seen one and it's a 28 amps a 240 volt I've, never seen one before princess Otto is the only place that I've seen it and they said you know what, if you want it, it's yours yeah.
They gave it to me for free, so I thought.
Okay, you know.
That's just terrific I mean I, know it's not under warranty or anything, but I'm gonna show you the best I can on how this is gonna.
Go together.
I've never done this before, but I got to take all that thing off the wall.
I got it all like if you've seen my last video on this.
If you want I'll put one of these boxes at the back at the end of the video, so you can see the original video if you're interested yeah, it's a bit of a rigmarole to take this actually off the wall.
I'm going to open this thing up, let's take a look and see what's inside there and see how easy it is for me to actually run this with the wires that come out five pass the thermostat that's in there and mount this one on the wall.
So let's see how we make out.
Well, that's what it looks like can behind the wall there that you're seeing you could see that I got it unplugged there and let's just go up to the heater here and we'll well, take it down so I don't want to take the whole thing of all.
I got too much of a harness here.
I think.
If I can just take one side down at a time, it should be fine.
I had to make these brackets up when I install this.
So hopefully I can take this down.
No dropping it on my head.
Wow spreads are a lot longer than I.
Remember going in anything moving over there, okay she's a whole step.
Let's move that side of the leg: okay, yeah they're long threads, Wow, oh boy! There we go okay, let's just flip up here.
Okay, let's take a look at this baby now.
Well, here we go.
We got our sitting here.
Actually you can see the 75 bucks I paid for it guys.
This is regularly $300 unit and, let's just see all this comes apart.
I'll just take these two well, first I, don't know: what's gonna come apart here or not cuz I'm thinking, maybe these screws here there is two screws right here and that's for the thermostat setting itself.
Maybe they've got to come out too I'm, not too sure I pop this knob off yeah.
You see these two screws here, I'm, not too sure I think that just holds in the temperature setting thing.
This is kind of pop up.
I, don't think it does I! Guess I can take these two screws out and find out right.
What do you guys think yeah I see they're pretty short, but they may just be pulling on the front of that casing kind of snaps in or what it does I have no idea.
But to me this should come up now.
Yeah see this switches links in here now, so I.
Don't think that has much to do with that.
You know what I'm going to take this cover off too, because this may be part of this in here.
So I'll take that off and then I'll bring you back well here we go here, I got it opened up.
I didn't take this cover off, because I could just slide the thermostat out from the bottom.
But if you take a good look there, you can pretty much see I hope you can, but on this thermostat see the two wires on the bottom and the two wires on the top.
Well, these two here are attached together and so are the two on the backside.
So I'm not exactly too sure how this is wired up.
You got two black and two red.
So, let's take a look at the thermostat, because that seems to be a little bit of a different setup too.
So let's go take a look at the thermostat next! Well, here's the thermostat raid here turn it over and you got to read into black and when I go down to the instructions here, they're talking about hooking it up, but it seems like this is meant to be hooked up at the receptacle of your power supply, not at your heater itself.
So I'm gonna have to investigate this a little bit better.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to put a schematic at the back here and show you what this heater actually shows from their manual.
Ok.
So this is the schematic that they show for the manual for this 6000 watt heater and how it's kind of wired up a bit and I'm, not exactly too sure how this is all going to fit together.
But I want to show you this thermostat one more time and I wanna.
Ask you something: okay, so here's the thermostat here and these two wires go up here.
These two wires go down here and you know: there's no wiring diagram on this to show anything so I'm gonna have to do some investigating I'm gonna have to use my phone a friend and I'm gonna, send this the schematic for this heater and send it to my buddy and see what it actually what he says he's an electrician and I'm gonna.
Ask him exactly what's going on here, because to me this is meant to be used to hook up to the receptacle in the wall itself, not at the heater, but I can't see no reason why we can't just bypass it at the heater itself, because if I leave that thermostat in there and just operate it off of the receptacle outlet, well, then any problems I have with that thermostat! That's on there now is going to conflict I! Imagine with this one, so not too sure what I'm gonna do yet there's going to be a part two to this.
So thanks for joining me here that a because when you don't know what you're doing you're following our friends use, guys come back for part two.
