Hi. Does this solve the issue of the wires instantly becoming HOT, and smell like they are burning? Other then that, by blower blows fine.

It fixed the issue in my jeep , and I had the same problem. No more melted wires.

Hello!Yes it did solve that issue in my model. Hopefully it works for yours too. Good luck!

Worked for Us - we had discovered melted smelly wires - googled and found it to be a common prob - this aftermarket solution is said to be better than oem and has proven so thus far. Personally - I think the ultimate solution would have been that Jeep would have used the simplest of A/C controls rather than "Automatic A/C Environmental Monitoring" - the simpler a ride is the better in my book ~:0) VivaChas Hot Rod Art!

I have four of those. Same thing happened to one of mine. I recommend a lamp dimmer. Saves energy, and the look is warmer and better in my opinion. I think mine blew cause I had all four of them on one extension cord. But after installing the dimmer I haven't had any more problems.

Make sure the fan is not blocked with dust and is working, Mine works fine after I removed the plug on the end and wired it directly to the outlet. I went through 3 of these in 6 months but removed the plug and it works like a champ.

It sounds like the timing is not set right, probably too big of gap. Check the gap with a business card, it should be just that big of space. If that is correct, the the coil is getting hot and no longer functions like it should!

i installed it and my dryer worked for about a month, just fine. then my husband was using it and said he saw sparks. and we havent used it since and i'm just going to replace it. Are the problems related? Sorry can't say. it fit fine and did heated fine also. Sorry i couldn't be be more helpful.

Ours blew quickly too, but there is an extra one in the white 'case' - have you used the extra one already too?

Mine did the same thing. The blower control module is bad. Needs tobe replaced. It is also called the blower resistor. Replaced mine and everything works fine now.

Not an electricity expert either but this thing started smelling very burnt and started discoloring after a month plugged into our 120 v so I don't think I'd risk it... We had to throw ours away to avoid an electrical fire. Have you tried the Comfort Zone spray? That might be a better option for you.

Not sure about that, all I know is that the plug got super hot and started smelling like something was burning. So I returned it. Just be careful.

You have to be more specific... but anyway, here are my two cents: I suspect that the blower or the wiring to the motor is bad, because the motor should operate when the manual mode is selected (FAN). Check for voltage a the fan when the FAN is selected, if there is voltage at the terminal, the blower is bad, if not, check for an open to the wires. Also you can jump terminal R & G at the terminal strip, that should turn the fan on. Good luck

Mine does the same thing, the motor for the blower heats up in use, as a result, the air is warm do to the fact that air is pulled past the motor inside the unit. But there will be a significant difference in heat when the heat is turned on either on low or the high setting. If there's no heat difference then you may have a problem. Hope this helps.

That could possibly be the reason the older unit over heated in the first place. But if you're worried about this fitting in the original spot, don't. It fits just fine. I installed this and haven't had any problems with the blower motor not blowing.

If the capacitor on your fan looks like this one (2 wires on one side, 3 wires on the other side), it probably will fix your fan. When I first noticed my fan wasn't working correctly, one of the three speeds (I don't remember which) didn't work. Eventually another didn't work. Also, there was a very distinct odor. Replaced the original capacitor with this one & it's been working perfectly ever since.

Hi Michael: That is not normal. I'd see about getting a replacement. Mine ignites very quickly and well.

Not any real solutions - the cord is short, so be very careful not to splash water on the plug. I've had mine a long time and have had no problems, although other heaters have set off the GFI.

I would say mine gets warm, but not hot. There's a fuse in there that should blow if it's pulling too much current.

Sorry for your problem but I can't be sure my experience will help you. Mine was direct-wired and burned out in a thunderstorm. Replaced it with a different version. Fan still works fine.
