intertherm heater

[russ in ar]

I have an Intertherm EBH 300 that has the smell of a leak. Do they make a 2'er anymore or do I need to get a 3' replacement? Do I need a new thermostat with the new unit? Also I have an EBH 1350 that stopped putting out heat. I turned it off and took of the covers, everthing looking fine, replaced the covers. Works fine now. Do I have an impending problem in my future? Help anyone? Thanks

Here is the link to Intertherm's contact page:

I'd start there for trouble shooting, or call a tech and get them serviced. If you smell gas leaking stop using it and get a tech there right away.

What does it mean, "The smell of a leak?" Are you smelling glycol or are you smelling warmed up dust from an infrequently used heater?

In my experience Intertherm heaters work very well for a long time. Then they die.

The smell is the glycol as opposed to dust. How do I know when one just dies? Is the a test I can do?

I think that if you can smell the glycol, then the heater's dead. As far as I know, they can't be repaired.
