What causes a block heater open circuit?
The heating element probably burned out causing the open circuit. The element needs to be submerged in coolant completely, all the time that it is plugged in.
Can you crank a diesel with the block heater plugged in?
I've got a 2006 F-350 KR and I do it all the time ! I don't believe it is connected to the truck circuit ! I wouldn't leave it on there after the truck has started ! ! ! !
When you plug in your cummins truck the heater does not work you have changed the 40 amp fuse what else could it be?
Are you are talking about the block heater or the heater fan. It looks like a two part question. The block heater plugs into a house outlet. The cord starts at the front bumper area and goes to the block. A element goes into the block to heat the engine coolant. To trouble shoot: Power from the house plug in a lamp. Cord from the bumper to block heater, Inspect for damage & ohm out the wires. If all checks fine the block heater maybe defective. Now for the fuse. Is it blowing out all the time & does it go to the heater fan.
How do you flush out a laars xe pool heater if you don't seem to be getting a good flow through the heater?
The problem is not the heater. When was the last time that you cleaned the pool filter? Low or no water flow - no heat. Low flow = dirty filter or plugged pump or skimmer baskets. Ken
Can you use a none dedicated outlet for a space heater for a short period of time?
Yes, a space heater can be plugged into any outlet. Depending on what else is drawing current on the circuit will govern whether the circuit will trip or not. If the heater is plugged in and the circuit does not trip it can be left plugged as long as it is needed. If the heater trips after a few seconds, then try another outlet.
How does one fix a 1994 Cavalier when the heat doesn't work except for the first time it is driven after the antifreeze is added or changed?
your heater core might be plugged(probable), or thermostat may not be opening all the way
Your 1997 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer is blowing cold air when the heat is on?
It sounds like your heater core may need to be flushed after time sediment may build up and block the flow of coolant through the heater core

How long to plug block heater in before starting the truck?
You should leave it plugged in over night. There are too many variables to consider like cooling system capacity, freeze point of coolant & ambient air temperature, to be able to let you know what the minimum of time it needs to be plugged in to reach full effectiveness.
Is there a heater that will also purify the air at the same time?
There is a heater called the EdenPURE Quartz Infrared Portable Heater that can heat your home and purify the air at the same time. It can heat up to 1000 sq feet of space at a given time. You can check out the company at www.edenpurestore.com.
Does water stay in engine block when car's not running?
Yes, coolant is in the block, heater, hoses and radiator all the time.
Why doesn't Heater work in my Jeep Cherokee Sport?
That depends on what it is doing. If the fan is not working, it is the motor, fuse or wiring. The most likely cause of motor not working at all is the fuse. Second case is the motor. If the fan only works on high, the resistor block is bad. This is located inside of the air venting system. There are about four wires going to this resistor block. They ocassionally burn up. Now, if the system has a fan, but no heat you have one or more of three issues. You are low on antifreeze, your heater core is blocked or your thermostat is stuck open. Check the level of antifreeze. That is the easiest and most likely. If low, fill! If the heater core is plugged you can remove both hoses from the heater core and if you are cheap, like I am, connect your garden hose to the system for a few seconds. This blows the plug out ALMOST every time! The thermostat will cause very little heat for a long time but of you run long enough you get some heat. They usually stick closed for me, but have been known to stick open. I wish you well!
