Hey all,
For the last two years the two Marley electric baseboard heaters have worked flawlessly but yesterday my son complained that it was cold in his room. I checked to find that both heaters were stone cold. I checked the wiring and thermostat, and found that there is 120v at each terminal on the end of the heating rod, but I cannot get 240 anywhere. I don't know if there should be 240v anywhere, but they are 240v heaters. The thermostat shuts off the power to both legs of 120v, so I am pretty sure that is working fine. How do I determine if I need new heaters or if new parts will suffice, or what. HELP! Thanks in advance for any advice.
