Thank You ... no; no. That's not good enough. I'll start over. A MONSTEROUS BIG THANK YOU, Homestead! Tonight, I will not lie shivering but will rest soundly and comfortably in my bus conversion because my space heater is fixed & working again. Your DIY space heater fix video was spot on! Following your lead, I had my heater (that has worked in 2 to 6 sec intervals followed by 20mins of nothing for months now) running again in less than 30mins AND at $0 expense! I am appreciative, have subscribed & clicked thumbs up!

I'm in San Antonio, Texas. Weather app says 35°F feels like 26°F. My heater just went out, an since this being Texas a state where 'most' Texans prefer Summer Over Winter weather. Stores are lacking space heaters right now. So this video is coming very handy for me right about now. I explain all of this 1.) For people in upper statea q+s who are use to cold weather. 2.)are going to criticize this video because of the potential saftey hazard of bypassing the the thermostat an cut-off sensor. 3.) Plainly to thank people like this guy for making little everyday life situations more (relaxing/easier) & more knowledgeable.. SO I THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. [("P.S. Nice Guns By The way man..Ha)].

So when one goes out the fix has to be immediate. The Temps here are in the 20's & 40's and we're still using 2 heaters that I fixed when this video was posted. You stay warm my friend- Taco

Thank you so much! My heater is almost the same. Exact function and wiring, but white with a different fan. Something happened with that rotary switch where one day I trusted the switch to OFF and it kept going. When I came back to use it, the switch wouldn't turn at all. I suspected the wiring was, like you said, a simple positive and negative. But the thermostat always worked. So what I did instead was I removed the switch and drilled a hole for a simple on/off toggle switch. For safety I got a 20A 125V AC toggle switch with that round metal lever that flips up and down. Then I cut off the 3 leads on that rotary switch that went to the heater and the fan. (The fourth lead is the hot input for the switch so it wasn't necessary to transfer since we were replacing the switch). I tied all of those wires in the rotary switch together to one of the new toggle switch leads. I tried the hot wire from the plug into the other toggle switch lead. Now I can flip it on or off, and I can still use the thermostat to control the fan speed.

I honestly wouldn't bypass a safety feature like that knowing that it broke because the kids kept knocking it over. You're just asking for your house to be burned down. If I didn't have mischievous kids, I'd just hard wire the heater like you did but use an external thermostat. There's no reason to cook a room to ridiculous temperatures, and the cycling will keep the cord and plug from overheating. In your case, I would go online and replace the thermostat/safety switch. You might have to drill out the rivets, and either install the new switch with a rivet gun or bolt it in. Your other option would be to get another heater, and use the old heater somewhere else. They're inexpensive. A new heater is a lot cheaper than a house. Also, just drill it into your kids to respect things like heaters. It will save them a lot of pain in the future.

Good information in a pinch but time to throw it away as soon as you can replace it. Saving $20 isn't worth the house fire. Wanting to go years on a heater like that is just stupid, especially when you have kids knocking them over. Now if you were mounting this to something solid, it wouldn't be so bad without the protections you removed assuming the thermal fuse is still in place. I personally use one of these in my garage and the tip over protection being absent is a requirement. But since I'm in the middle of a storm where I need it and it broke it's been bypassed, when it can be replaced it's getting dismantled and trashed.

I live in Canada. I have the same one but made from Konwin. The thermostat keeps clicking on and off. Only k ocked over once. It's the lower switch that's messing up on me. I can't find any parts anywhere. Watching your video now

Here for old heater's alarm going off early. Current heated goes off and on every few seconds - both annoying as f***! So what was wrong - I did not come here for an obvious wiring.

If it’s a silver cylinder and attached to some plastic it’s part of your thermostat
