What To Do If Your Infrared Sauna Brand Has Gone Into Liquidation
Over the past few years, several infrared sauna companies have unfortunately gone into liquidation, leaving many customers without warranty support, spare parts, or technical assistance.
Brands that have disappeared or ceased trading include:
Found Space
iHealth Saunas
Vikara Saunas
Healthwave Saunas
If you own one of these saunas, you may have discovered that the original retailer, distributor, or manufacturer is no longer able to provide help. Many owners are left asking the same question:
“Is my sauna now useless?”
The good news is almost certainly not.
Most Infrared Saunas Are Repairable
Unlike many appliances, infrared saunas are built using fairly straightforward electrical systems. Most units are made up of a small number of key components:
Infrared heating elements (quartz halogen, ceramic, or carbon panels)
Control panel and control board
Temperature sensors
Electrical wiring and connectors
Safety cut-offs and timers
Even if the original manufacturer has gone out of business, these parts can usually be repaired or replaced with compatible components.
In many cases, a sauna that appears completely dead may only have a single failed part such as a heater tube, control board, or sensor.
Common faults we see include:
Sauna not turning on
Infrared heaters not warming up
Control panel errors or blank screens
Faulty temperature sensors
Burnt-out quartz halogen heater tubes
Damaged wiring or connectors
The key thing to remember is that the liquidation of the manufacturer does not mean your sauna has reached the end of its life.
Specialist Help Is Available
At Infrared Sauna Repairs, we specialise in diagnosing and repairing infrared sauna systems — including those originally sold by companies that are no longer operating, such as Found Space, iHealth, Vikara, and Healthwave.
Because these brands typically used standard infrared sauna technology, we are able to:
Diagnose heater failures
Replace quartz halogen heater tubes
Replace ceramic infrared heaters
Repair or replace control systems
Supply universal replacement control panels
Repair wiring faults and safety systems
In many situations, we can even upgrade older saunas with modern universal control systems, improving reliability and extending the life of the sauna.
Replacement Parts Are Still Available
A common concern for sauna owners is whether replacement parts still exist once a company closes.
Fortunately, most infrared sauna components are not proprietary, meaning equivalent parts can still be sourced and installed.
These include:
Quartz halogen full spectrum heater tubes
Ceramic infrared heating elements
Temperature sensors
Control panels and control boards
Wiring harnesses
Safety switches and relays
Many older saunas can even be retrofitted with upgraded control systems, including Wi-Fi enabled controllers and more robust heating elements.
Don’t Attempt Unsafe DIY Repairs
Infrared saunas operate on mains voltage electricity and contain high-temperature heating elements. While some repairs may look simple online, incorrect installation can lead to:
Electrical hazards
Heater damage
Premature tube failure
Fire risk
If you are unsure what has failed, it is always best to have a specialist diagnose the issue first.
Your Sauna Can Still Have a Long Life
Just because the company that sold your sauna no longer exists does not mean your sauna needs to be replaced.
With the right parts and expertise, most infrared saunas from Found Space, iHealth, Vikara, Healthwave and other defunct brands can continue operating for many years.
