Sauna Not Working
 
Our Sauna stopped working a few years ago and we have tried
everything. Even contacted the manufactor to replace the electrical
mechanism. Nothing worked.......so it has been sitting in my garage
for a few years. It is in perfect condition, by looking at it...but
not working.
Any suggestions on what we could do with the sauna shell? I've
thought about using it at a storage or changing room. Any other
suggestions????? All reasonable suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.

Find someone like a handyman, in your neighborhood and let them look
at it in return for allowing them to use it. Saunas are not rocket
science. A heating element, maybe a fan, an electric light bulb, and
some sort of a timer.

Hi,
Little more than that with digital control panel contolling temp. and
time. Basically what you are saying is correct. Ours has fancy digital
readout control panel for temp settings and timer.

Sounds like time to call an electrician.

As to alternate uses, you could fill the sauna with pasta
and canned goods, for the up coming food price hikes we've
been seeing.

I forgot the thermostat. But, anyone with a modicum of electrical
knowledge could figure out how to bypass the timer and thermostat to
see if the heating element worked or not.
