A King WT-1 (single pole) or WT-2 (double pole) replacement thermostat will work for Martin Industries heaters that do not use a thermocouple (which looks like a length of copper tubing with a bulb on the end).
Check your thermostat. If it does not have a thermocouple, count the number of wires coming from it. If it has two wires, order a WT-1. If it has four, order a WT-2. Both are available online. Make sure there is adequate room to mount the new thermostat. They need about 2 inches length by 1 inch width, and are maybe 3/4" to an inch deep.
In my case, there was plenty of room. Because these thermostats are made for King brand heaters, you will likely have to do small modifications to the mounting plate to mount the new one. I had to drill two small holes for the screws that mount the King version to the plate. I also had to provide two wire nuts for connections. Other than that, installation is straightforward. A wiring diagram is provided with the new unit which - while not totally accurate to the Martin application - will guide you.

How do I determine the voltage of the wall thermostat for an electric baseboard heater.?
There are two different types of thermostats for electric baseboard heaters. Line voltage and low voltage. Connection to a line stat used the source voltage from the distribution panel and operates like a switch. Because the baseboard heater usually is 240 volts the stat breaks both hot inputs. The stat output goes to the baseboard heater. When the stat calls for heat its internal switch closes and applied the 240 volt to the heater. On the side of the stat will be a voltage and current rating that the stat must operate within. The other type of thermostat is used in low voltage installations. Instead of the switch being in the wall like a line stat, there is a low voltage relay mounted in the baseboard heater itself. This relays coil is usually 24 volts AC. An external 24 volt transformer is needed to supply a voltage to this coil. This 24 volt supply is first taken to the low volt stat and an internal low voltage switch is used to energise the coil of the relay in the baseboard heater. The difference between the two stats is very noticeable in that the line stat is very heavily built with strong termination points. The 24 volt stat is very flimsy in comparison as the current it has to handle is only the relay coils current.
Electric baseboard heater wont turn off?
Wiring a baseboard is no different than wiring a plug or light. A simple picture in your mind is this. You have to imagine yourself an electron travelling from the panel along the red wire to the thermostat, thermostat to the heater, heater back to the panel. With that read on. I find making a sketch helpful sometimes if the possible connection become unruly. I will not go into electric panel connection since a licensed electrician should do that. Too much juice there for the faint of heart. a) The wire type is different (red jacket (red & black conductors) instead of basic white (black and white conductors)). b) The breaker in the panel is of the 240v variety (twice as thick as the normal 120v variety). b) Most heating "circuits" are of the 20A variety. What that means is that the 20A breaker, combined with 240V, will allow 4800w (20A x 240v) peak. Rule of thumb is to use 80-85% of allowable wattage. So, that means you can feed up to 4000w of baseboards on 1 20A circuit. This will avoid a breaker jump if they fire full-blast at the same time. This scenario appaers in cottages most often. You are away, come up for the weekend and crank them all up at the same time. Go watch the meter when you do this. You can cut wood at the speed it spins. c) You will have a black, a red, bare ground wire entering the baseboard. Red goes to red, black goes to black, bare copper to frame (usally there is a green colored screw). That's your ground. VERY IMPORTANT to ground the unit. 240v kills real quick. BEFORE YOU MAKE THE CONNECTIONS READ FURTHER FOR THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION Here is where the fun starts: a) If you have a baseboard thermostat, then follow instructions in the thermostat package (which there usually is). The source wiring is as described above. b) If you choose to install a wall mounted thermostat, its a little different for 2 reasons. - If the source wire from the panel comes to the thermostat, then on to the heater you need to wire as follows: [AT THE WALL THERMOSTAT] The black wires from the source and one to the heater are wired together. You are now left with a red from each wire. You wire the thermostats wires to each of the red wires. Bare wires together & to box [AT THE BASEBOARD] ]The wiring at the baseboard is as described above (red to one side, black to the other side, bare to the casing) - If the wire from the electrical panel and the wire from thermostat meet at the heater, different scenario. [AT THE WALL THERMOSTAT] The Thermostat wires are wired to the red & black, at the thermosat. [AT THE BASEBOARD] At the heater connect the reds from the thermostat and source together. Connect the remaining blacks to either side of the basebaord. The bare wires are connected together & to the baseboard casing.
Can you get a Wiring diagram for 240 volt electric heater?
Yes, you can typically find wiring diagrams for 240-volt electric heaters in the manufacturer's installation manual or on their website. It's important to follow the diagram carefully to ensure safe installation and operation of the heater. If you are not comfortable working with electrical wiring, it is recommended to hire a professional electrician.

The first possibility is the thermostat didn't work.
