my heater runs couple of minutes then cuts of. let it sit then start it up and does the same thing

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!!

Suggestion: my heater did the same thing and I found that the front 'dome' and inside [where the blower motor is >> you will have to take off the outer cover], had a minute layer of dust that the unit somehow sensed. I used a dust brush, clean paint brushes, and some compressed air and blew what seemed miniscule particles away... IT WORKED. [my indoor parabolic quartz heater had the same problem which led me to try this....].. GOOD LUCK

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.

All heaters make a little noise, but if it's 2 loud maybe something is wrong with it, try the different settings on it!..

There is an on/off rheostat dial on the front of the unit. This would be fine if you are running straight power to the heater. I have the heater set at its highest setting and my power comes from a wall thermostat. Hope that makes sense to you.

I too haven't had any issues. There are heat settings that you can adjust. If it doesn't heat up, you may have a defective unit.

I let it run through the 15 min. cycle with heat. It will start right back up if I want it to. Honestly, 15 min. is enough....this thing isn't for pansies. ;)

There are two other things to check...first is the timer control assy. If this fails to work you will get no heating. And the next and last would be the heating element. Do you use this alot? How old is your unit? Feel free to send me more questions if you need further help as I'm an power plant engineer by trade.

It's possible that your water is already above the temperature that the heater is set for. Either that or it's a defective unit, like the other answer said!

Check your batteries and reset the thermostat. That should fix it. If not, contact Hunter.

Do you have the water going into the inlet side of the heater? Had mine in wrong when I first tried to start it

I have not had a problem with mine but definitely call the company and explain to them what has happened. Be firm but not rude in letting them know that you are not satisfied with the performance of the heater. I am sure they will do something to rectify the problem. Good luck.

Heater will come on and shut off once temp is reached and when it falls will come back on. Does this help?

Mine seemed to take a few hours to really start to cool everything down, but it works perfectly now. Make sure it has the proper exhaust ventilation.

I have not had an issue with the heater stopping and starting like that. More often than not, due to the rooms it is used in, it does not shut off (hit the temperture) though that is the room and not the heater. On the rooms where it stopped, I did not have that issue.

I don't know. I keep my house at 62 degrees and let this heater run around 78, and it runs for an hour or more. It only shuts down for a while after the room is very warm. Then when the room temp drops the heater turns on again. Maybe try turning up the heater to 80 or more. I would try to make sure the heater can run for over 30 minutes before it shuts down due to the room temperature being warm enough.

I had this problem. Took off the cover & had an exposed wire that was shorting out. Ran new wire to the heater. Working fine.

I haven't had that problem. My thermostat follows the schedule I've programed. There may be a problem with your unit.
