A sauna heating rod can break down for various reasons:

1. overheating "heat death". If the heating elements in the sauna heater are not sufficiently ventilated, overheating can occur. This means that the sauna stones are stacked too densely or there is no or incorrect air circulation in the sauna. This can lead to the heating rods being damaged or even burning out. 2.

Corrosion: As the heating rods are made of metal and this metal corrodes, the heating elements can be damaged. Corrosion can be caused by moisture (too much infusion water, sauna outdoors), salt and other environmental influences. A typical fault is when the heating elements are not completely covered with sauna stones and come into direct contact with the infusion water.

3. ageing: Like all electrical appliances, sauna heating rods have a limited life span. When they get old, they can no longer work effectively and eventually fail. Heating elements are generally wearing parts.

4. improper installation: if the heating elements are not installed properly, they can be damaged. This can happen, for example, if they are installed too close together or too close to the wall of the sauna heater.

It is essential that the sauna stones are replaced regularly. For private use every 2 years, for commercial use annually. Due to the extreme heat loads, parts crumble and prevent the air circulation to the top. In addition, stones lose their ability to store heat over the years.
