- Join Patrick Robertson with Momentous Building on a journey of solving a defective electric floor heat. In this video, we discover the solution to our Schluter Ditra Floor Heat system breakdown, and the required steps to avoid replacing it.
đ„ The Promise of Cozy Warmth:
With dreams of toasty floors and comfortable living spaces, we eagerly embarked on our journey with the renowned Schluter Ditra Floor Heat. Its cutting-edge technology and reputation for providing efficient and luxurious warmth had us hooked from the start.
đĄïž A Slow Chilling Reality:
Alas, our excitement soon turned to disappointment as we noticed our floors failing to reach the desired warmth. Despite meticulous installation and following the manufacturer's instructions, our expectations of cozy comfort were slowly met with frosty tiles and a lingering chill in the air.
đ Seeking Answers:
Driven by our determination to uncover the root cause of the issue, we delved into extensive research, consulting experts, and troubleshooting methods. We examined every aspect, from the thermostat settings to potential underlying floor or electrical complications. The solution was found when a Schluter representative came out and did a thermal scan of the floor.
đ§ Replacing the System:
After exhausting all avenues, we came to the difficult decision to replace our Schluter Ditra Floor Heat Thermostat wire. While disappointed by the unexpected setback, we remain steadfast in our pursuit of a cozy environment that matches our vision.
đĄ Lessons Learned and Moving Forward:
Schluterâs new Ditra Heat thermostat wire has issues. Although it is rare, failure does occur. Worst yet, if fails after days of use. We also learned the Schluter team is very responsive and provides great customer care. They paid for the full replacement of the system.
đ The Next Chapter:
As we embark on this new chapter, we share our story as a reminder that even the most promising endeavors can encounter unforeseen challenges. We encourage others to learn from our experience, and together, we can build a community that supports and guides each other toward the home of our dreams.

Thank you for sharing!
Your video is excellent!
Can you tell us how to order the repacement sensor and repair connectors for our schluter failed flooring!
We have the same problem you are addressing in this video!
Thank you so much!
Make sure you take pictures and measurements after you install the wire, to make any repairs much easier!
I recently watched the original video and now this one. I first thought you had another manufacturing problem, but it turns out it is the same video, but with better editing and music. Looking forward to your growing skill in presenting your professionalism on youtube.
Sometimes the special affects are not needed when people need a professional to calm their fears about problems, just speed up the video with the speeded up sound. No need to pay copyright music that wayđ.
Good job
Thank you for the great compliment. Learning and getting better is an essential goal. I appreciate your advice and feedback!
Super helpful! Schluter thermostat is reading 170 right now though floor is cold. Seems like we all got the same bad batch of sensors.
Yes, That was exactly the situation we ran into. Were you able to contact Schluter and get a tech out there?
@amandaturner5981 did you have a company do the work or was it diy?
@@akilfahd We are a construction and Real Estate Company. We handled the repair internally with our team :)
Thank you for sharing the video. We have floor heating in our shower and it was working fine for about 2 months. Now the temp reads 72 and it shows that it is trying to heat to 82 but the floor is not heating. If the shower is on the temp reading does go up assuming from the warm water but it goes right back down afterwards. Could it be a faulty sensor or is there another reason why the heating cables are not triggering?
It sounds like there is another error in the system. A simple resetting of the thermostat device may work. Does the floor ever get warm? or does it stay cold?
Nice video! I have question , did you call schluter company than they come and mark where the thermostat was!!!?? Thanks
Thank you! Yes, Schluter has a special tracing device that can read through the floor and see the wires. They then mark it out on the floor for us. Finally, we surgically break apart the tile being carful not to damage the wire.
