Answer

Zack, Check the venting of the unit as this could cause the heater to short cycle. If this is good then check to see if there is still 240 Vac to the heater when the heater is going off. If there is not then test the thermostats to see which one is open if any. If they are all closed then you will need to check to see if there is 120 Vac from the timer to the heater. If there is not then replace the timer.
