baseboard heat problem

[bcloser2me]

I have electric baseboard heat. The problem is that the heat does not shut off. I have replaced the thermostats, but the problem still continues. Please help.

The heat *never* shuts off to any of the baseboards??

Are the 'stats big heavy Line voltage ones or are they light-duty ones which control contactors (relays)?

If the latter, the problem may be outside the thermostats.

The wiring of the thermostats/heaters is probably done wrong.

imho:

When you say never shuts off, do you mean you can still feel residual heat, or full power heat?

Have the person who installed them recheck them.
