I bought this table and now the table heating element only heats 1/2 the table. Anyone else having issues?

We have had no problem also. We agree with One Sincere's reply in its entirety.

I bought mine 2 years ago and it works really well and never have any problem with the heating elements. one thing you may want to check it over again is that the heat will only come on when you or your client lay on top of the table. If not it may feel cold or barely warm. I thought the heating was not working at first but after talking to the manufacturer I found this out. May be you are experiencing the same thing. Good luck. I love that table, wide and sturdy and the heat is awesome.

I have not had that problem with mine, look around the metal plate under aluminum bowl and see if anything got in there that's melting or burning.Have you tried calling customer service about this?

I had the same problem. I first replaced the over protection switch and the hi limit switch. heater then came on and as you have it just ran hot even in air dry, so I replaced the thermostat and the heater still remain hot and brightly glowing. I talked to a repairman and he said to check the heater for a short to ground. It was shorted. Replaced the element that only had one of the ceramic element holders broke. This fixed my problem. I hope this helps.

Sorry to hear you had trouble -The first one I had seemed to be very slow, but did not burn out. I bought a second unit and it much better than the first one - cooks better and actually toasts bread - I love it!

Just reset the button to re-heat a 2nd time. But be careful. It gets really toast. ;)

Probably a defective unit. Not holding heat--or not getting hot enough. Ask for a replacement. A reputable company will gladly exchange if within the warranty period

I'm sorry, my table did not have this problem. Maybe another person can answer your question. Good luck.

Mine is doing the same thing. I even cranked it all the way up to the highest setting. I can still touch the flat iron face without singeing my finger- barely warm. I haven't even had it for a year and already it's pooping out. I guess I'll never look for a discount on the internet for my electronics! I'd rather spend the extra to buy it at a store I know I can go to and get customer service or a replacement product. Sorry about your (and my) luck!

The hot steam does not work again. This is my second unit. I am returning the steamer and buying something else.

Sounds like it may be the electric control unit may be defective (have a short in it) If still under warranty call Co and request new one--it is the temp control as the unit itself can tlerate heat--mine will go above 600 deg. Good Luck, Anne

There are two other things to check...first is the timer control assy. If this fails to work you will get no heating. And the next and last would be the heating element. Do you use this alot? How old is your unit? Feel free to send me more questions if you need further help as I'm an power plant engineer by trade.

My table didn't have that problem. It's level and works wonderfully. Perhaps you have a defective one and need to exchange it.

Good morning, I have had mine for only a year and it has not had any problems. However, I had a couple of thoughts that might (or might not!) help. Have you tried a different plug in? There is a safety limit switch that will turn off the machine if it overheats that may have failed. Finally, the heating element may have failed. If you have not done so you may want to contact the people that built it - they are here in the USA so they should be available to help. Good luck, I would really miss mine! Dave

Most likely the heat element burned out. Local repair shops would not fix it even tho still on warranty. Returned the unit to Oreck. They sent a new one which works ok.

mine too, and it doesn't keep heating, it just stops but the fan keeps running so you think it's working, then look at your food and its not cooking any more. mine is getting tossed, worst product I've bought in years.

This is not normal mine has lots of steam coming from it. Make sure the piece that goes over the heating element isn't pluged - just take out and rinse it off. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem. I replaced the ballast and it took care of the problem. I also discovered the old one had got so hot it was partially melted.
