I bought and returned one for "fan not turning" I bought a "replacement" and again. No apparent fan. Both had same 'burnt' smell @ the vents. What up.

I'd say you're getting lights from a bad batch that weren't inspected. I have three and have never had any problems and use them 24/7, send them back with a request for lights from a different batch.

Return the fan.... only one blade works on mine on cool but I use it mostly for exhaust so I'm not gonna go and return it since both blades work fine on exhaust

The internal fan is broken, same with mine. Opened it up and its a cheap computer fan. I replaced it for 4 dollars at a computer store and it works. If you're under warranty, send it back or take the risk and replace the fan.Good luck

If you have other devices with detachable cords, go through them, there is probably at least one that will work. The best answer is get in touch of the producer or seller of the fan and try to get a new cord. If you do use a cord from another item, be sure the current strength is identical, other wise it will burn the fan out.

I had this happen to mine as well, but it happened straight out of the box! I contacted the company through Amazon and they sent a replacement, which worked for a year, then the same thing happened, but this time it was out of warranty so there was nothing left to do but replace it, with a Vornado. No problems with that one.It's a shame, I wish Air King's quality was better. The fan is the style I want, but I would not suggest buying one after the two I had failed so miserably.

I have the same problem sometimes. I think that I turn it all the way clockwise then back all the way to the left or just turn it until the fans kick on. Is everything installed correctly? Won't hurt to double check and make sure the temp probe is secure.

it sounds like it is defective... it is a little hard to turn but NOT that hard. when you turn it will feel like are forcing it a bit. i love this oven! I've purchased it twice one for my apt and another for my boyfriends apt. i hope you don't have to send it back but if it's that hard to turn for you, you just might:(

I honestly believe that is a defect - UNLESS you have a draft, then it is due to the draft. You can check for drafts using a candle, cigarette even, or incense. I have had mine in a motor home that was drafty and it would kick on and off because it was set too low so first try to raise the heater temp to the max (we had to do that and it didn't cost much either compared to our other heater). THEN if it still kicks on and off I would contact the company - we are going on 2 years with ours in Eastern WA state where it is very cold. Now that I am in a place with no draft, it doesn't kick on and off as much, lol.Hope that helps :) I honestly believe that is a defect - UNLESS you have a draft, then it is due to the draft.

If you got a bad one, so did I. I bought two at the same time, and neither of them can warm up even a small closed room. I have 10 other Vornados (6 fans, 4 of the old-style non-VH2 heaters) and all those work great. The VH2 heaters, however, are possibly the worst heaters I've ever had.

Hi Lydia, I have not noticed a smell on my fan. What odor are you smelling from your fan?

In my case the fan was only running on one speed but the light worked. I took it apart and found this part had a burnt spot. I replaced it and everything has worked fine. Good luck

Sorry I can't help, however my experience was the same. The remote failed within a month. I will have to contract to have scaffolding installed to get to the fan. When I called Hunter, they were horrible. I have installed new fans for my porch and none were Hunters and I will never purchase another of their products. From others I have talked to (including the electrician) they have sold a defective product. Sorry to hear this is happening to many people including yourself.

The NORCO brand I bought was junk. Less than a year and loud squealing noises are coming from the fans...I've decided to order high-quality Japanese-made fans to solve my problem long-term. We were also AMAZED what LITTLE air flow it had....it seemed to barely move the air! I'm hoping that by changing all the fans to better quality fans will solve the problem.I have since bought a 220v Compaq unit which I plan to get a step-up transformer for and add to my other server rack/cabinet. I could NOT find a switch or anything to indicate that the Norco would run on 220v.

I did have a funny odor...something like oil or plastic when I first got this fan. The smell is gone now...took about a week of use to subside. The longer you leave it on the faster it will dissipate. I only used it at night, and then only on occasion because it is still so cold in NY.....Keep running it and it will go away soon!!!

I feel HeatBud should be better and I am going to order one and return one of my Lasko Myheats back. I found Myheat's fuse seems to get blowed easier. I have exchanged two of them. The third one I decide to get refund.

The one i got stopped working and so did the replacement after a few usea. It would work olay, but its kindof noisy and the fan is pretty small you have to sit right in front of it for it to work.

I purchased two of these, and the red button continuously flashed when I plugged them in. I requested a refund--and purchased a totally different air purifier.The second one I received--I dumped in the garbage--it was no use to me. The directions stated, only the green light should be on. The red one will come on whenit's to change the air filter. You were sent a defective one. Take my advice, ask for a refund--and purchase a different one like I did.
