Good part & delivery.
Wish this part included installation instructions in the box. Hope it lasts more than 18 months unlike the element in the original unit. Also hope it’s not discontinued over time.

asked on 2023-01-14
Hi James,
Thank you for your question. If the heater is working and heat is coming from it but it is not circulating around the room, you may need a new blower wheel or a new motor. Check the blower wheel to see if it is attached and working correctly. If it is, you will likely need to replace the motor.
The part number listed under your model number for the blower wheel is S99020284. The part number listed for the motor is S99080558. If you need help placing an order for these parts, customer service is open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
