Keeping Warm: How to Replace a Faulty Bathroom Heating Unit

In winter, how can you take a shower without relying on the heater? However, if the heater's warm light is broken, what should you do for repairs?

How to Replace a Broken Heat Lamp in a Bathroom Heater

1. First, turn off the power supply. Hold the front end of the bulb with your right hand and rotate it to the left to remove the damaged heat lamp. Check the bulb to see if the filament is broken. If so, replace it with a new heat lamp that has the same specifications and model, then install it back.

2. If the issue is with the wiring, use a multimeter to check if there is power in the circuit. Pay attention to ensure the wiring terminals are matched correctly. After that, put on the outer cover of the bathroom heater. Some covers are secured with clips, while others may need to be tightened with a screwdriver. Turn the power back on and check if the heat lamp starts working normally.

Warm Air vs. Infrared Heat: Which is Better for Bathroom Heaters?

1. Many consumers find it challenging to choose between warm air and infrared heat bathroom heaters. The choice should depend on the actual needs of your family. If you have a baby at home, it’s advisable not to opt for infrared heat because it emits very bright light, which could potentially harm a baby's eyes if they look at it for a long time.

2. In this case, you can choose the warm air type, which operates similarly to a home air conditioner. While it’s slightly more expensive and takes longer to heat up (around 20 minutes for the entire bathroom to warm), it’s more suitable for homes with children. However, the later maintenance costs might be a bit higher.

3. There are also bathroom heaters available that combine both warm air and infrared heat. This option gives you the advantages of both, providing the warmth quickly with the infrared feature while also having the steady warmth of the warm air system. You can control it through the panel, allowing you to switch between warm air and infrared heat as needed.

In summary：if the heat lamp in your bathroom heater is damaged, you can simply choose a replacement with the same specifications and model. If you want both warm air and infrared heat benefits, consider opting for a dual-function product.
