I replaced a six foot baseboard. It has power at wire connections but baseboard does not heat up. There are four wires coming out of the wall plus two grounds. I have the whites connected to each other. and the blacks connected. any Idea what is wrong.
Thank you

Are you reading 240v across the wires that come from the wall? Where is the thermostat located, is it wall mounted or housed within the baseboard? At the other end of the baseboard, is the wire from the element tied to the wire that loops back to the junction box you're splicing in? Is this, in fact a 240v heater with a 240 volt supply?
