1. Check Thermostat Settings
If your Lasko heater is blowing cold air instead of warm air, be sure the first problem is in the thermostat. Sometimes the wrong setting of the thermostat, the defective or damaged battery of the thermostat will occur this problem
2. Clogged Air Filters
After a long period using, the heater’s air filters get clogged with debris and dirt. If your Lasko heater is not blowing warm air or heater shuts off frequently, the problem may start with the blockage of the air filters. The blocked vent will prevent smooth ventilation. Resolve this issue by following our mentioned methods:
3. Furnace Overheating Problem
If replacing or cleaning the filters doesn’t work, it would be better to check if the furnace is functioning well. Due to overuse, furnaces become overheated. There is a protection switch in every heater to prevent the overheating problem.
4. Check Ductwork
The heater may produce cold air if there is any problem with your home’s ductwork. When the ductwork is blocked with debris, it interrupts the normal airflow from the heater. Thus the heater becomes overheated, and the protect switch is enabled. For that, cold air comes out from the heater.
5. Incorrect Fan Functions
You may see a fan function on the menu bar in various Lasko heater models. The engineer embeds this function to use the heater as a fan. If the fan switch is turned “ON” and the thermostat’s temperature is below your room temperature, cold air may come out from the heater.
6. Dirty Flame Sensors
It would be best to clean out the flame sensors regularly to keep the heater in fluent working flow. Due to the dirty flame sensor will occur producing cold air from the heater.
7. Blown Circuit Or broken heater coil
If there is any blown circuit or breakout in the electrical path, the heater will fail to produce warm air. Sometimes broken heater coil will create such problems. No worries. Read our suggested solution sensibly.
