Rear Electric Heater - Rob Robinson - 10-13-2006 03:42 I was wondering if anyone has ever accessed the rear electric heater. My coach is a 94 with a walk through bath. The electric heater is positioned under the clothes closet on the drivers side. This closet has four drawers below it and the heater is positioned below them. I'd like to get at it to give it a good cleaning. Every time I turn it on it smells like burnt dust for the first minute or so. I've pulled the drawers out and had a look around but didn't see any obvious screws that would let me remove panels or the draw frames. Any ideas? -- Rob, Sue & Merlin Robinson 94 WLWB [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Rear Electric Heater - g_man1146 - 10-13-2006 04:22 Hi, If you have what is called a "toe-space" heater, designed to fit under the toe space of a cabinet, it will have two screws on the front that attach it to the wall or cabinet. The heater will slide out and then the cover can be removed to gain access for cleaning. Be sure to turn off the power prior to removing the heater, just turning the thermostat down won't necessarily protect you from a shock. Rich D.

Quite a build up of dust bunnies. Works and smell much better.

The heater is held in position by a couple of screws. You might have to remove the face plate first. It's been a couple years since I pulled mine. R.E.

Two screws and it was out. By the looks of it mine hadn't been cleaned in years. Easy job to do now that I know how it's done.

The fan runs just fine once the thermostat is turned up, but there doesn't seem to be any heat coming out. Is there a fuse or switch that I might be overlooking? How about a source for a replacement heating element, if that turns out to be the problem?

It has a long cord so it's easy to wrk n. Ernie Ekberg 83 PT40 Livingston, Montana [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
