How to Fix Your Heater When It Won't Turn On

Even if you're an expert at fixing things, you might find yourself stumped by a heater that won't turn on. This is a surprisingly common problem that can be difficult to diagnose. Before you call a professional, try to troubleshoot the issue on your own.

Below are some of the most common reasons why your heater won't turn on, along with troubleshooting steps to help you fix the problem:

• The heater is turned off: - This is the most common reason why your heater won't turn on. Make sure that the heater is actually turned on.
• The thermostat is set too low: - The thermostat is a device that measures the temperature and turns on the heater when the temperature is below the setting on the thermostat. If the thermostat is set too low, the heater will never turn on. Make sure that the thermostat is set to a temperature that is high enough to turn on the heater.
• The pilot light is out: - The pilot light is the flame that ignites the gas to heat the house. If the pilot light is out, the heater will not turn on. Make sure that the pilot light is lit.
• The gas is off: - Make sure that the gas is turned on.
• The thermostat is broken: - The thermostat is a device that measures the temperature and turns on the heater when the temperature is below the setting on the thermostat. If the thermostat is broken, the heater will never turn on. You will need to call a professional to repair or replace the thermostat.
• The pilot valve is broken: - The pilot valve is a safety device that prevents the gas from flowing to the heater if the pilot light is out. If the pilot valve is broken, the gas will flow to the heater, but the pilot light will not ignite it. You will need to call a professional to repair or replace the pilot valve.
• The thermocouple is broken: - The thermocouple is a device that measures the temperature inside the heater and tells the pilot valve to open or close depending on whether the heater is hot or not. If the thermocouple is broken, the pilot valve will not open, and the gas will not flow to the heater. You will need to call a professional to repair or replace the thermocouple.
• The control board is broken: - The control board is a device that controls the flow of electricity to the heater. If the control board is broken, the heater will not turn on. You will need to call a professional to repair or replace the control board.

• The control board is broken: - The control board is a device that controls the flow of electricity to the heater. If the control board is broken, the heater will turn off.
