well welcome back to Steve Ryland reviews today we're gonna look at this heater guys this is
my 6000 watt heater I got from princess Otto it has two modes a low and a high 3000 Watts 6,000
watts I got a problem with it so I'll show you exactly what the problem is this is the
thermostat switch right here and this is the low and the high between 3000 watt and 6000 watt and
the problem I ran into was every once awhile I'd come out in the shop and I'd go to turn it
on and it would not shut off and then I play with the switch a bit and have would shut off
originally when I would turn it on you'd hear a little bit of a click as you turn it on and that
stopped soon as that stopped I'll show you what happened well nothing happened there did that's
because I went in the back here and I actually unplugged it because this is the problem I ran
into is I can't shut this thing off no more so I have to physically go to the receptacle and
unplug it so what I'll do is I'll plug it back in for you now and you'll see how this operates
okay guys that's it right there so I plugged it in and no matter what I do this will not shut off
so I got to go down to the power pour it every time and turn it off and you know you can't be
doing that so I'll show you what the resolve was I went to princess Otto I talked to one of their
associates guys this is not under warranty I bought this one like I showed in the original
video it was like under one of these scratch and dent sales for what was it now 75 bucks yeah 75
bucks so I mean I don't want to send it back or anything like that I just wanted to get a new
switch but I went read the reviews online for this particular heater and somebody else had a
better idea so let's take a look at that next okay so this was the result after I looked at
the the online different comments from people there's no other people that have had trouble
with this thermostat as well so their resolve was to pick up one of these now guys this is a remote
thermostat you just stick on the wall and it's a 240 volt thermostat and it's actually got if you
can see here closely I'm not too sure has got an off-and-on on it and I told the associate I says
Ian I says this would probably better for me then that switch that's inside there because you know
what I did notice I got that heater up towards the ceiling and you know what it shuts off a lot
sooner than I'd like it to because of course all the heat rises so by the time the heat gets warm
enough to go down to that level about six feet off the ceiling you know from I'm six feet off
the floor well you know it shuts off to me too early I'd like to have my thermostat lower to the
ground so it's taking a reading lower down rather than being so high up and then shut off early all
the time so I'm gonna go with this but I've never seen one and it's a 28 amps a 240 volt I've never
seen one before princess Otto is the only place that I've seen it and they said you know what if
you want it it's yours yeah they gave it to me for free so I thought okay you know that's just
terrific I mean I know it's not under warranty or anything but I'm gonna show you the best I can
on how this is gonna go together I've never done this before but I got to take all that thing off
the wall I got it all like if you've seen my last video on this if you want I'll put one of these
boxes at the back at the end of the video so you can see the original video if you're interested
yeah it's a bit of a rigmarole to take this actually off the wall I'm going to open this thing
up let's take a look and see what's inside there and see how easy it is for me to actually run
this with the wires that come out five pass the thermostat that's in there and mount this one on
the wall so let's see how we make out well that's what it looks like can behind the wall there
that you're seeing you could see that I got it unplugged there and let's just go up to the heater
here and we'll well take it down so I don't want to take the whole thing of all I got too much of a
harness here I think if I can just take one side down at a time it should be fine I had to make
these brackets up when I install this so hopefully I can take this down no dropping it on my head
Wow spreads are a lot longer than I remember going in anything moving over there okay she's
a whole step let's move that side of the leg okay yeah they're long threads Wow oh boy there
we go okay let's just flip up here okay let's take a look at this baby now well here we go we
got our sitting here actually you can see the 75 bucks I paid for it guys this is regularly
$300 unit and let's just see all this comes apart I'll just take these two well first I
don't know what's gonna come apart here or not
cuz I'm thinking maybe these screws here there is two screws right here and that's
for the thermostat setting itself maybe they've got to come out too I'm not too
sure I pop this knob off yeah you see these two screws here I'm not
too sure I think that just holds in the temperature setting thing
this is kind of pop up I don't think it does I guess I can take these two screws out and find out
right what do you guys think yeah I see they're pretty short but they may just be pulling on the
front of that casing kind of snaps in or what it does I have no idea but to me this should come up
now yeah see this switches links in here now so I don't think that has much to do with that you know
what I'm going to take this cover off too because this may be part of this in here so I'll take that
off and then I'll bring you back well here we go here I got it opened up I didn't take this cover
off because I could just slide the thermostat out from the bottom but if you take a good look there
you can pretty much see I hope you can but on this thermostat see the two wires on the bottom
and the two wires on the top well these two here are attached together and so are the two on the
backside so I'm not exactly too sure how this is wired up you got two black and two red so let's
take a look at the thermostat because that seems to be a little bit of a different setup too so
let's go take a look at the thermostat next well here's the thermostat raid here turn it over and
you got to read into black and when I go down to the instructions here they're talking about
hooking it up but it seems like this is meant to be hooked up at the receptacle of your power
supply not at your heater itself so I'm gonna have to investigate this a little bit better what
I'm going to do is I'm going to put a schematic at the back here and show you what this heater
actually shows from their manual ok so this is the schematic that they show for the manual for
this 6000 watt heater and how it's kind of wired up a bit and I'm not exactly too sure how this
is all going to fit together but I want to show you this thermostat one more time and I wanna ask
you something okay so here's the thermostat here and these two wires go up here these two wires go
down here and you know there's no wiring diagram on this to show anything so I'm gonna have to do
some investigating I'm gonna have to use my phone a friend and I'm gonna send this the schematic for
this heater and send it to my buddy and see what it actually what he says he's an electrician and
I'm gonna ask him exactly what's going on here because to me this is meant to be used to hook
up to the receptacle in the wall itself not at the heater but I can't see no reason why we can't just
bypass it at the heater itself because if I leave that thermostat in there and just operate it off
of the receptacle outlet well then any problems I have with that thermostat that's on there now
is going to conflict I imagine with this one so not too sure what I'm gonna do yet there's
going to be a part two to this so thanks for joining me here that a because when you don't
