I can't believe he actually died in a housefire after making a video about messing with fan heaters. The news report said that the fire was started by an electric blanket though. Thank you for your great videos. RIP
For my use case which is usually heating a room, I wouldn't bother with a low and high switch. If you aren't tripping the circuit breaker, running the heater on high is more efficient than low because it heats the room up faster and put less overall stress on the heater over the long run with the thermostat is used in a generally sized bedroom. I you're heating a master bedroom or a living room, you should look into 240 volt heaters at that point. Running a heater on low is useful if you are tripping a circuit breaker or you have the heater blowing on you like on a desk. Having a separate switch that controls one of the heating elements is useful if you could only find 10 amp switches since there would only be around 7 amps passing through a switch. With all the power going through one switch, you would need a 15 amp switch for sure. I'd check the power draw on each setting before doing that just to be safe since each heating element might not be pulling the same amount of current.
Great fix and vid. But I wonder. The thermostat bi-metal contact 'switches', are the contacts clean...? The arc over time you see. If not, the thermo metal 'switch' leg(s) is / are out a shape / 'tired'! It asks for lot of try and error patience, but they can be bent in shape so it works again as intended. And if not, get yourself another thermostat asap pls. Till then stay with it and awake while using this heater 🤞
My cadet electric wall heater was working just fine. All out of the blue it just started blowing cold air. The fan blows. Tested thermostat and works. Kicks in when i set it at warmer temp but just blows cold. I hit reset button, didn’t work, i reset the circuit breaker, no change. Is there a way to fix it or do i have to go buy a new one?
I have a similar heater but mine starts off by blowing hot air then after a minute or two it starts blowing cool air, what could be the issue? Thanks in advance.
I should not need to take my heater apart in order to find out why it is blowing cold air. The unit is brand new and should be working. I have only had it for 3 days!
Hi! New duble switch is perfect, 100% but Heather Chinise garbage them all. 2x 1m2 cable, and oweheating and hot safety 105C work or not. I have 4 Heather Blowing 1dai, fire and end of life. , or 3 only work 1000w, 2000w owerheating switch off and 1000W. and again and again. The wire 1cm2 not 1.5cm2 not safty. overheat and overheat and bimetal off. :)))))))) Cut 105C safy, cut bimental , direkt wire 1000W x2 = 2000W my room temperature 7C and Heater fire 7 Celsius temperature. Joke. Garbage the chipest Chinis Heater Blowing. But I have 26Yers old not Cihinise Heatar ist wor but switc power 1 1000W and Power 2 max 1000W but not work switch correct. Power 1 or Power 2 no 1+2. I replace better swich. Yu are perfect metal switch. My english bad sorry.

One of my favorite videos I fixed a couple of my little heaters inspired by your video
You make something that seems so complicated seem so simple. Great to know how to save money not replacing a heater for something like this!

What is called that botom of fan ? Bcz 1 wire i have connected 1 is not now i connect bouth but i see no fan rotating at all
I have a similar heater but mine starts off by blowing hot air then after a minute or two it starts blowing cool air, what could be the issue?
Thanks in advance.
So in my case it was a faulty thermostat, I had to leave the dial at a certain position for it to work.
Great Job!!
Good job
Is it safe that the bottom of my heater fan is hot to the touch ?
Heater? It's going to be almost 100 deg today. Lol
Is this a old video in the winter?
Why are you watching videos on heaters Darrell
Fan heater turned into regular ventilator box fan
make sure those are rated for 15A

All that crossover might start a fire
Must be a UL certification
That's the way to do it!
Danny and Lynn
i have a jacket but i have one and it stopped heating ¿
edit: it works today
All yoy do is replace the thermal fuse
Buying another heater it was only,30$ i know I'd make a safety hazard
