Properly? Meaning it used to work better? You need an ohmmeter and voltmeter or VOM. Harbour Freight or a similar outlets sell them for under $3.00. An electric heater is basically a resistance wire system that produces heat. It cannot do so if there are poor connections feeding the current needed to get it hot. With the unit unplugged you can check for poor connections using an ohmmeter. With the unit in operation a voltmeter can check for poor connections, though you have to access the wiring and switches, so don't do this unless you really understand what you are doing and the personal risks you are taking.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What else can I help you with?
Does an electric motor have different resistance than an electric heater?
Yes it would be unlikely an electric motor coincidentally exactly matched the resistance of an electric heater.
Which has a more resistance a 100 W bulb or a1000 W heater?
A 1000 W heater would have more resistance compared to a 100 W bulb. The higher the power rating of an electrical device, the lower its resistance, as resistance is inversely proportional to power. So, the 1000 W heater would have lower resistance than the 100 W bulb.
Can you repair a heater that is not working?
Yes, but you need a trained professional to diagnose and fix the problem.Fixing it yourself would be way to hard to try unless you are trained to do so.
Will a 110 electric heater produce the same amount of heat as a 220 heater at 1000 watts?
No, a 1000-watt electric heater operating at 110V will produce the same amount of heat as a 1000-watt heater operating at 220V. The power output (in watts) determines the amount of heat produced, not the voltage.
Which fuse do replace if car not starting?
If you must ask this question I would recommend you take the car to a competent mechanic and let them properly diagnose it.
Where can one get podiatry medicine?
You can get podiatry medication from a doctor, a podiatrist would be the best bet as he or she could properly diagnose your problem. You could always by them online.
What is the main tool a technician would use to diagnose HVAC problem?
A technician would typically use a multimeter to diagnose HVAC problems. This tool helps measure electrical currents, voltage, and resistance in the system, enabling the technician to identify any issues with components like motors, capacitors, and sensors.
How do you solve a heater control panel problem on a 1994 GMC?
You would diagnose the situation to determine the source of the problem you're having. At that point you can decide what steps are needed to repair the problem.
Why would the heater not blow hot air in a Grand Marquis?
replace heater core and or themostat Coolant level may be low not allowing hot coolant to circulate properly, check coolant level.
What is the resistance when a 660w electric heater is operated from a 120v lines?
We have to work this problem on a DC basis, since we know nothing about the power factorof the supply, or the reactance of the heater.Power in the load = E2 / R.So R = E2 / P.R = (120)2 / 660 = 21.82 ohms (rounded)That's the resistance of the heater ... as the question is worded, it's not clear that thequestioner understands this.
Why is it important that the resistance of an extension cord used to power an electric heater be kept low?
An electric heater is one of the high-power appliances in a house, commonly taking 1.5 to 3 kilowatts of power. The current is high, and therefore there is a drop in the voltage applied to the heater equal to the current multiplied by the resistance of the cord. There is probably little power wasted, because any heat from the cord goes to heat up the same room. But a voltage drop causes the heater to draw less current because its resistance is constant, and therefore less total power is provided to heat the room. If the heater is thermostatically controlled so that it is not working all the time, the difference is small because any reduction in the heater's power would cause the thermostat to keep it going for longer, to compensate.
Why does my 1977 Corvette heater blow hot only?
If your 1977 Corvette heater is only blowing hot air, it may be due to a malfunctioning temperature control valve or a stuck heater control valve that prevents the flow of coolant from being regulated. Additionally, there could be an issue with the blend door in the HVAC system not closing properly, which would result in only hot air being circulated. Checking the coolant level and ensuring there are no blockages in the heater core can also help diagnose the issue. If these components are functioning correctly, further inspection of the HVAC controls may be necessary.
