The interior heating system of the VAZ Nine can be called traditional. Comfortable temperature is ensured by warm air heated by the heater radiator. It is sent to the cabin through an air duct system. Essentially, everything here is quite simple. However, owners of “nines” often experience problems with this component of the car. It is especially unpleasant when they occur during the cold season. Often these problems can be fixed with your own hands. But before you begin repairs, you should know not only the possible causes, but also understand what is located and where.
Design of the VAZ-21099 heater
And then everything is simple: the created flow passes through the radiator honeycombs, where heat exchange occurs, as a result, heat is transferred to the air, which then blows into the required zones through the air ducts.
The design of the VAZ-21099 stove includes several main components:
- stove body made of plastic;
- heating system radiator (connected to the cooling system);
- electric fan;
- air ducts;
- heater control mechanism.
This car used heaters of two modifications (old and new), which were slightly different in design, but their components were completely identical.
Housing, radiator, dampers
Thanks to the housing, the required redirection of heating is ensured, since the movement created by the fan motor is immediately fed into it, rather than being dissipated. The body of the VAZ 2109 stove itself consists of two halves, connected to each other with special brackets. To reduce flow losses, a seal is placed between its halves. Partitions are made inside both halves, which provide the correct direction.
There is also a niche inside this case into which the radiator is installed. Initially, the radiator was made of brass, but now it is almost always made of aluminum. The design of the stove radiator 2109 is identical to the main one (consists of two tanks, tubes through which coolant circulates, and plates that form honeycombs), but is significantly smaller in size.

The heater of VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 does not heat, causes of malfunction
Using the example of the interior heater - the “stove” of VAZ 2108, 21081, 2103, 2109, 21091, 21093, 21099 cars, let’s look at the causes of a common malfunction: “the stove does not heat.” The solution to this problem will be relevant with the onset of the first cold weather.
Causes of malfunction - the stove does not heat
— The car’s engine cooling system is contaminated
The heater radiator is a “stove” that is part of a small circle of the engine cooling system. Therefore, warm coolant (coolant) begins to flow into it, from the “jacket” around the cylinders, immediately after starting the engine. As a result, the “stove” should start heating almost immediately.
If there is air in the cooling system, it is driven into its highest point - the radiator, and the “stove” does not heat up and no coolant enters it. He rarely leaves there on his own. Therefore, it is necessary to force the air plug out. More details about this procedure: “How to remove an air lock in a car engine cooling system.”
— Insufficient coolant temperature
Reasons: the thermostat is faulty - the valve does not close, there is not enough coolant in the engine cooling system.
The heater radiator is clogged - “stove”
The blockage may be oxidation products of the cooling system or sealant, if it is repaired using it. Or after eliminating the leak using a special product. In this case, the coolant does not circulate through the radiator and it does not heat. It is necessary to remove it, wash it with a stream of water, and blow it with compressed air. If it is completely clogged, replace it with a new one.
— The heater fan motor does not work
In this case, warm air is not driven into the car interior. The motor may not operate fully or may not operate at any speed. Details of the malfunction of the heater electric motor on “The heater does not work on the VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099, reasons.”
— The heater control damper does not work
The flow of warm air is not directed into the car interior.
— The stove valve is stuck in the closed position
In this case, coolant does not circulate through the radiator and it does not heat.
— The partition inside the heater radiator fell out
A partition is installed inside the radiator to prevent coolant from leaving it immediately. The delay allows the stove to work more efficiently. Without a partition, the stove will heat, but weakly. The radiator can be checked for the presence of a baffle. We remove the radiator and direct a stream of water into one of its pipes. In a working radiator, the stream of water from the other pipe should come out with a delay. In a faulty one - immediately.
Notes and additions
— The warm-up time for the interior of a VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 car at a temperature of about zero degrees (or with a slight minus) with a working heater - “stove” - is approximately five to ten minutes.
— A working “stove” 2108, 2109 should provide heating of the car interior at an air temperature of minus 20, at maximum speed, up to 20 degrees Celsius, and in the area of the driver’s and front passenger’s feet up to 25 degrees Celsius.

Internal structure and principle of operation
The heating system installed on the VAZ-2109 has its own differences and features compared to other cars in the AvtoVAZ line.
The heater consists of a pair of plastic casings (on the right and on the left), which are connected to each other along the entire perimeter with clamping brackets. A special flagellum is placed in the grooves of the casings to seal it well. The fan supplies air flow to the interior of the machine. The VAZ-2109 stove is designed so that the fan can be easily removed independently from the engine compartment.
An electric motor of type 45.37230 is attached to the casing, and a fan is located on its shaft. To obtain its desired rotation speed, additional resistance was provided. It was attached to the left side of the hole in the heater casing using a screw.
Heating system radiator
A radiator is built into the stove body to heat the air flows, which then blow into the cabin. Using three screws, this element of the system is screwed to the right casing and sealed with a polyurethane foam gasket.
The radiator design is a combination of:
- 2 rows of tubes.
- 2 rows of cooling plates.
- 2 plastic tanks.
Tap
It has two pairs of pipes, it is connected to the cooling system by rubber pipes, where coolant circulation is ensured using a pump. In the valve casing, on the axis of the supply line, there is a plate valve, which has a hole; it allows the coolant to pass through. The valve lever is connected by a rod to the handle lever, which also controls the process of heating the air flow. If you turn this lever, the hole in the valve will open the line for coolant to enter the radiator.
To ensure uniform heating of the car interior, the stove has two central nozzles, as well as left and right, to which air ducts are connected.
Exhaust ventilation
The car is equipped with exhaust ventilation, which circulates air from the interior to the street. It is located behind the body openings for the side windows.
Air also passes out through the deflectors when the car moves. The ventilation process is carried out due to the vacuum that occurs at the deflectors during movement. Air is sucked out from the rear of the cabin under the deflector trim; for this purpose, the rubber valves are pressed out and the air flow goes out through the deflector hole to the street.
Rubber valves are needed to prevent outside air from entering the car interior.
Replacing the Radiator Heater VAZ 2108 Low Panel
If during a routine inspection of a tank with coolant VAZ 2108 2109 21099 you saw that it became smaller, increased to its usual level, and after a few days the level dropped again. This means that there are some leaks in the cooling system. It is sought through a visual inspection: the attachment points of the hoses, clamps, and the absence of cracks in the hoses are checked. If during the inspection you find that coolant is entering the passenger compartment, this indicates that VAZ 2108 2109 21099 is leaking from the heater radiator. With this malfunction, you begin to drip antifreeze onto the accelerator pedal and connect with it on the driver’s shoes. Antifreeze. corrosive liquid, so you can ruin good shoes. In addition, the antifreeze itself costs money; a liter tube of antifreeze costs about 5. Therefore, since antifreeze begins to leak from the radiators of the VAZ 2109, you need to look for this leak and fix it. What do you need: a replacement heating radiator (stove) for a VAZ 2109 . But it is not easy to approach him. Our client is still in control of the vehicle, saying he needs to disassemble the entire front panel. Of course, without this it will be even more convenient to change the radiator, but it will take you about 3 hours, we are not talking about reassembly. Therefore, the method for replacing the VAZ 2108 2109 21099 heater radiator without removing the front panel is given below. But first you need to drain all the antifreeze from the engine cooling system. Only a VAZ 2109 filled into the cooling system circulates about 8 liters. antifreeze, so prepare tanks where you will pour it in advance. Wear rubber gloves because it is best not to touch antifreeze with bare hands. It will also be useful to have a couple of liters. , because perhaps a little, however, it will shed. Open the coolant reservoir cap and find the cap at the bottom of the radiator.

Prepare a hose about a meter long and a centimeter across. Insert one end into antifreeze. Remove the radiator cap and push the 2 ends of the hose to the radiator outlet. In a VAZ 2108 2109, the radiator 21099 usually holds about 2 liters. antifreeze. When the antifreeze does not leak out, unscrew the plug. Now you need to drain the antifreeze from the small cooling circuit. The engine has a special limiter for discharging antifreeze. This is the vehicle's lowest cooling point.
Drain plug VAZ 2109 for the cooling system
Prepare several plastic bottles (preferably 5 liters), cut off their necks to make it easier to drain the antifreeze. Open the heater mixer in the cab (closed in the picture) to allow all the antifreeze to flow out of the radiator.

Typical faults
As with any mechanism, problems can occur in the heating system (video author - Andrey Kuzemsky).
If the VAZ 2108 heater motor is broken, you can understand this by comparing some symptoms:
- If the motor does not work when switching operating modes, the cause of the breakdown may be hidden in the resistor. When repairing, you need to replace the resistor with a new one, because it cannot be repaired.
- If the fuse is blown, you need to check the insulation of the armature located on ground. There may be a short circuit.
- If, when switching modes, the VAZ 2108 heater fan rotates at the same speed, this may be a consequence of contamination or oxidation of the collector. In case of repair, it is worth cleaning the collector and, if nothing has changed and the fan continues to act up, you can replace the bearings.
If the VAZ 2108 stove motor does not even show signs of life, then the reason is not in its design, but in a broken circuit. To find out if this is true, you can use a voltmeter.
Basic faults
Sometimes, there are cases when the heater motor fails. In order to determine that it is the motor that is broken, it is enough to know a number of characteristic symptoms of motor failure.
The first sign of a malfunction is that the motor that activates the fan stops working when switching from one mode to another. Usually, the cause of such a breakdown lies in the additional resistor. Since this part cannot be repaired, it just needs to be replaced with a new one.
The second sign is that when the electric motor is turned on, the corresponding fuse blows. In this case, you need to check the winding of the armature located on the ground. It often happens that it simply closes.
The third symptom is that the fan rotates slowly, regardless of the mode in which the stove motor operates. This, as practice shows, is a consequence of contamination, or worse, oxidation of the collector. To eliminate this malfunction, the collector must be thoroughly cleaned. If this procedure does not produce results and the fan still rotates slowly, then try replacing the bearings. They have probably reached a critical stage of wear and tear and are moving with great difficulty. Less commonly, the cause may be an interturn short circuit inside the armature winding. If the motor of the VAZ 2108 stove does not turn on at all and does not rotate the fan, then the reason is not in the design of the motor, but in a break in the circuit itself. To make sure of this, use a voltmeter and carry out diagnostics.
The device of the VAZ-2109 car heater
As mentioned above, the design of the heating system of the “nine” is quite simple. Let's look at it in a little more detail. In particular, the stove itself consists of 2 casings. They are made of plastic and connected to each other with special brackets. The designers decided to use a harness as a sealant - it is placed in the corresponding grooves of the casings. At the top of the heater there is a fan responsible for the forced supply of heated air into the car interior. It is secured with 2 screws. It should be noted that, if necessary, the fan can be removed or replaced by approaching it from the side of the engine compartment. This solution is quite convenient.
How to change the heater radiator on a VAZ 2109
Most often, when there are problems with the heater core, we are talking about detecting a leak. This situation implies replacement of the unit.
Heater parts: 1 – elastic bushing; 2 – spring nut; 3 – left fan casing; 4 – electric motor; 5 – impeller; 6 – right fan casing; 7 – windshield heating flap; 8 – damper for the foot airflow channel; 9 – heater control damper; 10 – right heater casing; 11 – bracket for fastening the heater casings; 12 – gasket; 13 – radiator; 14 – clamp; 15 – supply hose; 16 – outlet hose; 17 – tap; 18 – left heater casing; 19 – sealing cover; 20 – resistor; 21 – support for the heater control damper axis
Heaters old and new
Finally, we note that the VAZ-21099 of different years of production used heaters with certain design features that related to the angle of the radiator and the location of the main damper.
In so-called old-style stoves (on cars before 1998), the radiator was installed almost vertically, and the main damper was located under the heat exchanger. There was a partition between the rear wall of the case and the radiator, which formed a channel that provided air supply down the case.
When the damper was open, the air flow moved through the radiator, where it was heated and supplied to the air ducts. In ventilation mode, the main damper closed the heat exchanger, forming, together with the front wall of the housing, another channel through which the flow went directly to the air ducts.
In the new model stoves (on cars produced since 1998), the radiator position angle was significantly smaller than on old heaters, which is believed to provide a larger contact area of the air flow for heat exchange.
The position of the main damper and its shape also changed (it became arched). It began to be located above the radiator. In the closed position (ventilation mode), the damper ensures air movement along the shortest path to the air ducts. In heating mode, it blocked the cold air supply channel to the air ducts and directed the flow down the housing, from where it went to the heat exchanger.
Electrical component of the stove
Below is an electrical diagram for turning on the fan. For it to work, you need a temperature sensor, which is located in the radiator. When the coolant reaches a certain temperature, the sensor gives a signal and the fan turns on automatically.
Main components:
- Mounting block.
- Ignition.
- Additional resistance (resistor).
- Motor.
- Button that controls the motor.
A – to the terminal with a plus sign “30” of the generator.
Some cars still have an old mounting block installed, in which case the fan is turned on via a relay.
Operating principle of the stove
- The liquid is heated to a certain temperature and enters the radiator of the VAZ 2108 stove.
- To ensure constant circulation, rubber tubes are installed between it and the liquid cooling system, fixed for better fastening with clamps.
- Warm air enters the car interior through several openings. The heater motor with its own fan is designed to distribute air evenly.
- The air flows directly to the feet of the driver and passengers, and also exits to the panel. The heat flow is then delayed by the dampers, and therefore the air is cooled. Thus, cool air is supplied to the windshield.
If the operation of the furnace is not satisfactory, it can be modernized. This is done by installing fiberglass.
The action goes like this:
- It is necessary to disassemble the stove, wash all parts and begin assembly. This action can also be used to visually inspect parts for damage. For example, the casing ear often breaks.
- After this, you need to glue all the flaps and fill the seams with sealant. Glue the casing and wait a while until the sealant is stable.
- Assemble the “insides” of the heating system and cover it with fiberglass. Thanks to this, the temperature will increase to 10 degrees.
DIY repair
To carry out repairs yourself, you need to use the following tools:
- a Phillips head screwdriver;
- 10mm wrench.
When dismantling, you need to remove the plastic trim, which is located on the outside of the windshield. To remove it, you need to open the hood and remove the 5 bolts that secure the trim to the body. Remove the rubber seal from the engine compartment and pry the casing with a screwdriver to get to the motor and oven fan. Now you can remove the motor. It is attached to the body of the VAZ 2108 with two bolts.
When the clamps are disconnected, you can turn off the power and disconnect the positive wire of the furnace under the dashboard. The negative one is attached over a special thread and pressed down with a special nut. You need to unscrew the nut by touch and fold back the negative wire. By disconnecting the wires, you can remove the motor and install a new fan. The entire structure is assembled in reverse order.
It is important to note that breakdowns associated with the stove also depend on which panel is installed on the VAZ - low or high. Both have their downsides. For example, on a high one the central flap does not open completely. It is she who is responsible for supplying cold and hot air to the car interior. To solve this, you need to adjust the damper. And to get to it you need to disassemble the dashboard.
If we talk about the low panel, this is where the thermostat often breaks. Of course, if it wears out, the oven will not work. It is recommended to change it every two or three years. And if replacement does not solve the problems, it is worth replacing the hoses that connect the stove and radiator.

Replacing the heater motor on a VAZ-2108-2109
The fan (motor) of the heater provides airflow to the car and increases the efficiency of the heater. If it malfunctions, the quality of interior heating deteriorates significantly. Extraneous sounds may appear that distract you from the road and are very annoying. The only way out is to repair or replace the failed unit. As a rule, car enthusiasts immediately go to a service station and shell out considerable sums for performing such work. For what? As a rule, changing the heater motor on a VAZ-2108-2109 is a matter of 30-40 minutes.
Basic faults
The first thing to do is figure out the reason. Start the car, switch the heater to different speed settings and listen to the sounds of the motor. If after turning on the blower no action occurs and no sound appears, then the fan simply does not work.
If the motor starts only at third speed, the cause of the malfunction may be the resistor installed in the switch (such a malfunction occurs quite often on VAZ cars).
Let's figure out what could be the reasons for the stove failure. There are several of them:
- The fuse has failed. The first thing you should do is check the integrity of the fuse that powers the heater fan. The cause of the device failure may be a small short circuit. Please note that one fuse link can power not only the motor, but also the clutter lighting, heated mirrors and other devices. Therefore, if the stove fails, check the functionality of other devices.
- Poor contact in the mounting block. This problem is common both in domestic cars and among foreign cars. The problem can be corrected by simply cleaning the contact group or pulling the contact.
- Ignition relay malfunction. The control device tends to stick. In this case, the heating system fan will turn on only when the engine is warm. If the malfunction manifests itself in this way, then it is advisable to immediately check the relay and, if necessary, install a new one.
- The airflow turns on only when you switch to third speed. Here you need to know the design of the device. The bottom line is that the first and second positions involve connecting additional resistance. At the third speed, switching occurs directly. Therefore, the fault can be eliminated by simply replacing the resistor.
- The switch is broken. Often the switch itself can be the cause of problems. To check it, you should use a regular 12-volt light bulb with wires soldered to it. Proceed in the following sequence:
— turn off the central part of the console to gain access to the switch (nothing should stop you from performing the check);
- start the car and connect one of the wires to the negative (car body). Use the second wire to alternately touch the output of the first, second and third speeds.
Now take stock. If the lamp lights up in all cases, then the switch is operational. If the light does not light, then move the wire to the “plus” of the switch. If the lamp does not light up here, we can conclude that there is a break in the motor circuits or a failed fuse;
- fan failure. If the switch is working properly (voltage is supplied) and the motor itself does not show any signs of “life”, then the cause of the problems may be the poor quality of the contact connection at the “minus”. The second option is to flood the motor brush.
Operating principle and causes of malfunction
Let's take a quick look at how the heating system generally works. To adjust the temperature, you open or close the tap of the heating device. After this, well-heated coolant begins to flow into the radiator, which is a source of heat (on a warm engine, the coolant temperature can be 90-95 degrees Celsius).
By switching the speed modes of the fan motor, you can set the speed of its operation. The volume of warm (cold) air entering the cabin directly depends on this. It all depends on the position of the tap - whether it is open or closed. In the future, using panel dampers, you can regulate the air supply and direct it throughout the cabin - to the windshield, legs and into the cabin, and so on.
Features of replacing the stove on a VAZ-2108-2109
So, if strong squeaks, squeals or complete failure of the fan appears, it needs to be replaced. This is done in the following sequence:
- Prepare the necessary tools - a 10mm socket, a Phillips screwdriver and a handle with a ratchet.
- Open the hood of the car and unscrew the five screws that secure the plastic trim to the windshield. Remove it completely and set it aside.
- Pull out the hood seal (it will also interfere with operation).
- Pull out the protective casing, behind which the fan motor itself is located.
- Unscrew the two mounting bolts that secure the motor to the car body.
- Get into the passenger compartment and under the instrument panel on the driver's side, find the positive fan wire and discard it. Here you will find the “minus”, which is fixed with a nut - unscrew it using a ratchet handle and a suitable socket on “10”. There is no other way to turn off the voltage from the motor, because the power wires are directly soldered to the device.
- Remove the engine (to do this you will have to twist it a little to choose the optimal position).
- Make repairs if possible. If you don’t have the time and the necessary knowledge, just replace it.
- Install a new motor and return all parts in reverse order.
Conclusion
Thus, if the stove motor fails or unnecessary sounds appear, you should not endure and freeze - take some personal time, carry out a small diagnosis of the malfunction and fix the problem by repair or replacement. Good luck.
Heater fan VAZ 2108/2109
Breakdowns of the stove motor, although not so often, still occur. If this unit fails, the quality of heating is significantly reduced. Depending on the nature of the problem, extraneous noise may appear that distracts the driver's attention. In this situation, repair or replacement of the device is required, for which it must be removed from the car.
Reasons for failure
There are several common reasons that lead to fan problems.
Fuse
One of the likely reasons leading to a malfunction of the motor may be a faulty fuse. The element is located in a mounting block installed in the engine compartment in front of the windshield on the left side. It is worth starting troubleshooting by checking this part. The fuse is marked F7 and has a rating of 30 A.
The stove fuse is located in the mounting block marked F7 and has a rating of 30 A
Poor contact
Over time, contacts may oxidize. The check is not difficult; to do this, just move the block with the harnesses. If the fan starts working during the diagnostic process, then the cause has been found. The malfunction can be eliminated by cleaning the problematic contact in the mounting block.
During oxidation, the contact is usually covered with a green or white coating.
Resistor
The operation of the electric motor may be impaired due to problems with the additional resistor. At maximum speeds, the motor is connected to the power circuit directly, and at the first two speeds - through a resistor. If problems arise with this particular element, the electric motor will only operate in maximum mode. To replace the part located on the left side of the stove body, simply unscrew the fasteners and install a new resistor.
