The most common cause of the lack of heating in the system of sexual heating is a faulty or incorrectly calculated and installed warm floor resistance.
In this regard, current issues, how to identify a malfunction and, if possible, to independently eliminate the defect in the work without attracting high-paying labor of qualified specialists, consider below.
Variants breakdown
With the unevenness or absence of heating in the electrical system of sex heating, the causes of the breakdown are not so much.
Do not fall into a panic if all the parameters of the correct installation were complied with the installation, most likely get rid of the problem will not be difficult.
You need to check the flow of power to the system, the function of the sensor and the integrity of the load cable system.
The simplest reasons for the lack of heating are failed in the settings or the thermostat breakage.
| № | Possible reasons | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| one | No electricity online | Make sure the thermostat is able: the light bulb should burn |
| 2. | Set up or changed settings | Check and restore settings |
| 3. | No voltage online | Measure the voltage in the network, disconnecting the thermostat and connecting the device to the terminals L and N, should be a value of 220 V. |
Malfunction of the thermal protector
Do not rush to open the floors, check if the thermal sensor works
In order not to open the screed ahead of time, check the health of the thermal sensor. Its cable is a two-core wire.
For testing, you need to measure the resistance between the veins. Typically, the resistance values are within 5 - 120 kΩ, the exact value is indicated in the technical passport to the thermostat.
Resistance check:
- The multimeter is translated into an ohmmeter mode,
- Set parameters,
- The resistance value is measured.
If the resistance value when checking does not match the passport, then the sensor is not working and requires replacement.
Turn off the power supply before checking
Check the electric warm floor and make sure that the heating system itself is working, by connecting the power directly to the floor wires. For this you need:
- Disable food in the electrical network of apartments or at home (fold the plugs on the electrical tailor).
- Connect feed wires directly with a shield, bypassing the thermostat: Contact number 1 with contact number 3, and contact number 2 with contact number 4.
- Turn on the supply of electricity, wait half an hour while the floor is warm up.
If with such a connection system heated, then the thermostat unit itself is faulty. If, after all the events, the floor does not work and the reason could not be eliminated, the problem is much deeper in the literal sense.
Problems with load elements
Check the warm floor resistance multimeter

If the problem in power supply and the regulator is not detected, it means that the integrity of the load wires is broken.
Test yourself the heating element, for this it is necessary to measure the mixing floor resistance to the multimeter.
Connect the measurement device to Contacts No. 3 and No. 4. The resulting digit must comply with the value declared in the manufacturer's passport. Read more about the resistance of the warm floor, see this video:
In a situation with a film floor, it is enough to measure the resistance on the non-heated area.
Options for multimeter indicators
| № | Indicators | Breaking |
|---|---|---|
| one | No resistance, or equal to the value close to zero | A short circuit occurred in the system, most likely due to the incorrectly calculated cable cross section. |
| 2. | Above passport | The heating element is broken isolation |
| 3. | Below passport | In the floor system there was a break |
Any of the above situations will entail additional work to identify the place of defect and its elimination. With warranty service, contact the firm that has been installed. The post-warranty breakdowns will also be eliminated by a firm that mounted a warm floor, since they have the necessary documentation, including the installation scheme.
