Honeywell (HZ-341BL) Ceramic Heater - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
I need a tilt switch for the honeywell HZ-341-bl
Hi, Jim...
I'm presuming that your heater has a tilt switch that isn't working. Is this right?
Tilt switches used to contain mercury (which has been phased out because it's so toxic). They now contain ball bearings... which may have gotten frozen (especially if you live in a high-humidity area).
I'd first of all open up the heater, identify the switch (generally black plastic, around 1" long by 1/2" wide - something like that) and rotate the heater back & forth... listening for the sound of a ball bearing rolling back & forth. If you don't hear any sound, you can try CAREFULLY knocking the switch housing with, say, a ball-peen hammer to loosen it up.
If this doesn't work, you will probably want to replace the switch. You can find them on Google, ranging from $2-6. If you're handy with a soldering iron, you can easily replace it yourself. Otherwise, find a friend (or take it into a shop) for a very quick & easy fix. Don't forget to epoxy the housing of the switch to the heater, so it doesn't rattle around!

Hi there my dog chew
If you look at the cord it should tell you what kind of wire it is....... If not most of the little heater use 16ga stranded wire rated for 105degree C at 300 volts.

Honeywell ceramic heater hz341bl
Like most heaters, this Honeywell ceramic heater has a tip switch designed to turn the heater off if it falls over. Unfortunately, all you need to do is bump the heater and the switch can open. Sometimes the switch will stick and the heater won't come on even when it is upright—sticking during storage could easily happen, particularly if not stored upright. When the switch is stuck on my heater, when I try to tturn it on the yellow and green pilot lamps flash once but nothing happens.
The solution is to rattle it, shake it, and invert it a few times to unsitck the switch. It always works for me. Something probably best done before you get frustrated to the point of shoving it through the floor. Also, if the heater was running when the switch sticks, be sure it cools down so the thermal switch has a chance to come back on.

The heater won't turn on and when the power button
These units have thernistors and safeys that prohibit it from operating outside of safe parameters, they are not an economically viable repir item due to cost and parts availability for even a doit yourself type ,the liability in modifying it isnt worth the risk.

HZ-725 honeywell cooltouch heater..Lights on but no heat
The screws are "Tamper-Proof Torx" head, it takes a special T15H tool bit to remove the screws. I just disassembled one of these non-working units and the problem with this unit is a open diode on the heater element board. Not sure the purpose of the diode, but no voltage is going through it. I doubt if parts are available as I see no link for parts on the
www.kaz.com website. This unit has been quite hot inside as the plastic mounting peg for the heater element board is melted near the diode area.

Replacing a 2-pole baseboard heating thermostat
Here at home where I reside we have an old school thermostat that has the mercury bulb that acts like a sensor, and in other cases it could just be as easy as replacing the batteries in the unit itself, usually a lid that hides them, sometimes it works

Where is battery on a Honeywell LR95329 Thermostat Base please?
They all hide in the thermostat base.
Load on the contacts is 24 vac standard, 30 volts max. the battery however is a standard AA or AAA Duracell battery, it is not 30 volts.... Those are available almost everywhere, You can pry the front of the thermostat from its wall mount sub base and see the batteries inside... just replace them.

Need help replacing a thermostat
If you have wifi try the Hive Thermostat. Control your heating off your iPhone or with a touch of the button on the remote controller.
Otherwise there are many hard wired systems available.
