My lorobbees corded unit will not heat up

We're sorry to hear that your corded unit isn't functioning as expected. To determine whether the heater may be at fault, please check the following:

1.Verify the power source you are using is functioning properly.
2.Test the unit with an alternate power source.
3.Confirm that the temperature display reads close to the current air temperature.
4.Check if the "Out1" light is on and displaying a solid red color.

If your unit passes these checks—meaning the display is accurate and the "Out1" light is solid red—this typically indicates that the controller is operational, but the heater component might have failed.

For resolving this issue, you have two options:

1. For those who are handy and prefer a quick fix, the heater is user-replaceable. It requires undoing just two bolts, with no need for soldering. Replacement parts are available on our website at reasonable prices.

2. Alternatively, we offer a full repair service. You can send the unit to us for a comprehensive overhaul, which includes any necessary repairs to bring your unit back to a 'like-new' state. Please mail your unit to 9807 Jonathan Ct, Middle River, MD 21220, with a note specifying the repairs you'd like us to perform. The typical labor fee is around $25, plus a shipping cost of about $15 via UPS Ground.
