why does the thermostat light come on for 2 seconds and then it goes out???

I'm not sure, but mine does the same thing. Possibly its just borderline temp for it to cut on and off. Mine has done a good job so far, had it for a little over a year. Hope that helps.

I was told by my boss that the light will remain on only if it is below freezing.

make sure the gas is on, and the thermostat is off, on the gas unit, turn the knob counter clock wise 1/4 turn, push down, hold match or lighter to where the pilot light is at until it lite, keep the knob depressed for 20 seconds or so, release the knob and turn counter clock wise 1/4 turn until it stops. turn the thermostat up and it should lite

There should be 5 terminals on the control module, which connect to the thermostat. They are marked like "Y, W, R, G, C" stand for Yellow, White, Red, Green, and Common. I disconnected the "R" wire and connected the switch in between. The two wires you talked about might be the one went to the out door unit (24 V). Double check it by following it where it goes to. You can also check your thermostat two see how many wires are used.

You may have a wire crossed. My works just as the oem did. I took a picture of the wires before removing the old one and put the wires back on the exact same way. When mine hits temperature setting (either heat or AC) it shuts off automatic.

I had the same problem and was told by their customer service that a bad batch of thermostats was installed in some units. They are sending me a new thermostat, which i guess i will install myself. I also have had two issues now with the on/off switch not working properly. I am sorry I bought this unit.

I'm not sure I have 2 of these heater, the first one caught on fire, they told me it had something to do with the wires going to the thermostat. They sent me another one, got it out of the box would not light. That told me it was my regurlator, so I go and buy another one, and it still don't work. So if you find somewhere to get parts let me know so maybe I can find out what's wrong with mine.

Either the thermostat is set to low or it may be defective. Also the heater needs some outside air or it will shut off. Good Luck!!

That sounds like a defect in the unit. Mine stays on about 5 seconds, then turns off. There isn't a button that I know of to be able to turn it off. I'd write to the seller and ask for a replacement. That isn't normal.

sounds like wiring problem.there's 5 wires going from outdoor unit to indoor unit.2 control heat and 2 control a/c and 1 is ground.check for loose connection at both units.

You program the time the thermostat starts and stops the heater. It is not smart enough to plan ahead.

This is a communication error between EIM and the thermostat. Make sure Connected light on EIM or wireless adapter is flashing and you are 2+ feet away from EIM or wireless adapter.

You are correct. I have had mine and it did the same thing. Pushing the reset and timer button and the light went out. I cant find my manual. Thank You!

Try turning the thermostat controller all the way to the right. Otherwise call Vornado customer service, most of the machines have a 2-3 year warranty.

This is NOT a defect and it IS normal when the "C" terminal of your thermostat is powered from your heating/cooling device. You need to change configuration item number 10 from "ON" to "OFF" (this is clearly described in the manual).

Most likely the heat element burned out. Local repair shops would not fix it even tho still on warranty. Returned the unit to Oreck. They sent a new one which works ok.
