EdenPure Heater TroubleShooting & Repair
If you have the EdenPure Heater and you are having some trouble with it, you might want to do something they call troubleshooting. When you troubleshoot your EdenPure Heater you will be diagnosing what is wrong with the heater so you can fix it and have nice warm heat again. Sometimes the problem is as easy as plugging the heater in because someone has accidently unplugged it, or sometimes the problem is a little more advanced like you may need to change one of the infrared bulbs inside of the unit. If you have any troubleshooting tips for others that you have learned along the way or need help yourself you can leave your questions and comments on the bottom of this Edenepure Heater TroubleShooting Repair Guide.
EdenPure Heater Won’t Heat The Room / Area
If your EdenPure Heater is not heating the room the first thing you will want to check is to make sure that the heater is plugged into the electrical outlet. Sometimes the cord can get unplugged by accident by someone else in the household. If the cord is plugged in you will also want to make sure that the circuit breaker has not been tripped. After you have made sure that the circuit is good and the EdenPure is plugged in you will now want to make sure you have no drafty doors or windows. If your doors or windows are leaking, that will cause the room to constantly be filling with cold air and could cause the EdenPure not to work. You have to remember this is a heater, Its not made to heat an area that has a wide open window / door etc.
Also you will have to note that this kind of personal (or zone) heater is originally designed for small area, which is about 300 ~ 400 sq ft. It is supplemental heat, and not to be replaced by the main source of heating system in the house.
If your floor materials are made of cement or tile, the time to warm up the room will be doubled as those kind of floor surfaces will absorb a lot of heat during the heat up process.
EdenPure Heater Infrared Bulb Replacement
From time to time you may have to change one of the infrared bulbs inside of the EdenPure Heater. You can buy a new infrared bulb for the Edenpure usually where these types of bulbs are sold. On the EdenPure Heater Review, Raymond says:

I have an eden pure model 1000 heater, It is extremely difficult to find any place to buy one of the quarts bulbs, I finally did find a dealer who also repairs them, The cost of each bulb was $ 18.00, and there is a total of 6 of these bulbs inside the heater with an additional bulb at the front of the heater. The bulbs are wired in series in pairs of two. So I ended up getting two bulbs for 36.00 dollars. I was able to install them myself, I have no idea what they would have charged me to put them in. I would love to know if there is anywere these bulbs can be bought for less than the $ 18.00 dollars. I found a set of three on ebay for $ 56.00 dollars.
So if your bulbs do need to be replaced you can see that even Raymond was able to change these bulbs himself for under $40. Off course you could always hire the local EdenPure Repair shop to replace the bulbs inside of the heater for you if you are not that handy, or do not have the time.
Heater Fan Blows Cold Air
The manufacturer originally designed the heater to blow out all the heat inside the unit approximately every 3 minutes, if the unit recognizes the desired temperature has been met in the room. This can also happen when the heater goes into a cool down mode, for example if you power it off. So wait for a little bit once you turned it on, check to see if the unit has been running for a while and if it still blows the cold air.
The Fan Or Unit Won’T Turn Off
First off, check to ensure that you have turn the master power switch to OFF position manually. As explained above, the fan will still run even after you turned off the unit. It is designed as such, until the heat chambers have completely cooled down. Then the fan will shut off by itself after a few minutes, so don’t be alarmed by this behavior.
Cleaning The EdenPure Heater
You can clean your EdenPure Heater with some general household products and a set of rags. You will want to keep your EdenPure Heater clean and free of all dust and dirt, so not only will your heater look good, but other people will not think you are a slob. You can apply your favorite household cleaner to a rag and then wipe down the outside of the EdenPure Heater and you will have one good looking heater even if it doesn’t work as you expected. It still makes one heck of a conversation piece when you have company over and then suddenly there is a loss of words in the room.
When I plug up and turn on, it runs for a couple minutes and shuts down. the fan seems not run on high,so it gets too hot and shuts down
Did you find out WHY your unit will run for a bit and then shut down? Mine is doing the same thing and I can’t find out what is wrong so I can fix it. Thank you…
I have the same problem…any answers?????
Make sure the filter is clean. If that doesn’t solve the problem the fan motor needs replaced. If your heater has the style that uses a motor attached to a squirrel cage blade then make sure you clean blades also.
When we plug in our EdenPure the circuits breaker pops? Does anyone have any ideas? It did not do this for the first year and the plugs are not any different.

I TURNNED MY HEATER OF IN MAY , IT WILL NOT TURN ON IN OKTOBER THIS YEAR , PLEASE ADVISE WHAT TO DO
THANK YOU….
Same problem with mine. (on light works and nothing else). I took it apart and found that one of the heating elemetns wire had broke off (Common as they get hours on them). They cost $16 for a new part. Not that hard to replace (Lots of screws). I pulled the heater element out of one I found on the street and got mine going again.
MY HEATER WORKS FINE FOR 3/4 HOURS THEN STARTS TO BLOW OUT COLD AIR. IF I TURN IT OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES THEN RESTART IT WORKS OK THEN AGAIN GOES TO COLD AFTER 3/4 HRS. WHY?
It is overheating and shutting down. Make sure the filter is clean. If it is then make sure the fan blades are clean. If that doesn’t solve the problem then the fan needs replaced.
My Gen 4 is only blowing cold air. It was blowing cold air and I changed all the bulbs because they were all blown. It is still blowing cold air. What to do?
Probably a bad rear circuit board
They told us how to fix the it’s hot then cold thing, something to do with a hard reset, sadly, wrote the info in a computer file, and can’t find the file .. ARRRGH

My gen 3 does not get hot as it use to . Where do I purchace replacement bulbs.
“I” stripper the threads on a sheet metal screw just under the pan head phillips screw so that I can unscrew in front the top part of the inside tin panel that accesses the heater units. The top screw in recessed in a channel about 3/8’s inch wide. The sides and top minimize access to the screw in addition to the depth in the channel. Any ideas?
