I am trying to figure out why my base board heaters are not working properly. was wondering if someone could explain if everything was hooked up correctly. i have 3 heaters in one room with a wall mount thermostat. I put in a new heater, and new thermostat, nothing. there is power going to everything. there are 2 white wires and 2 black wires for thermostat. then 1 black and one white at the heater. i connected the red wires to white and black to black. also there is a ground wire at each location. is this right and what am i missing?
Is this a new install?
What is the voltage of the heaters?
If it is 220, is the breaker installed properly? Is it a double pole breaekr or two tandem mini breakers. What is the voltage between the two hot wires.
More details of the complete wiring would help also.

replacing old, for some reason two of the heaters in the room quit working. so i looked into it and found that they were getting power so it had to be the heater, so i bought a new heater but nothing happened. voltage is 220 at each black wire coming out of wall for thermostat and heater. it is a double pole breaker. there are two sets of wires at each location which come from the box. the thermostat is a 4 wire, and at the heater they had the 2 white wires twisted together, and then black on black. I don't know what else to tell you about it. it was working last year, could something have happened, like the breaker went bad? but i am still registering power at both locations.
