You may be holding the nozzle too close to the thing you're trying to heat up. I can run mine for minutes at a time holding it about an inch from the work piece.

Hi Dolly! I would highly recommend returning for new one (contact the seller first), as they are pretty reliable, heavy duty work horse guns......don't know if you've ever returned anything through Amazon, but it's very, very easy.......good luck, don't give up on the Milwaukee.....Best to you, Nance

I would love to answer your question but the unit only worked once and would never heat to temperature again. I would keep looking if I were you. This is the second one of these we have had to throw away.

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

I had the same problem. I bought it for my son's christmas gift and he had so much fun with it. About 5th shower or so, it just stopped working. I contacted Amazon and they said to return it back and let them investigate why.

I just got mine a couple weeks ago and have used it 3 times. I do see and hear the steam when using it, it sounds like something might be wrong with yours.

Mine quit working after a few Months. Mine got Hot as well, it was working Ok in the beginning but, I think I was putting the batteries on to soon after using, IT requiers the batteries to cool after use then put batteries on the Charger.... Tell me if that might help with the cahrger getting to HOT.

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.

Sounds like it is broke to me. My rollers works just fine. However, I was very disappointed with the performance. It took longer to cook on the HDG150 then the time to fire up the BBQ and cook then. My hot dog cooker has been used only twice, and may be donated to Goodwill soon.

I have used it only once and I had the same problem. I think you have to lock the temperature and I guess I did not do it. Try locking the temperature

I used mine about 10 times and it did the same thing. The guarantee requires you to return it and send a check for five dollars and they will send a new one. I have used them for years but apparently they now have a quality control problem. I decided to throw in the trash.

I have the same issue. It just stopped working. I had an electronic tech looked at it and he think it's something on the circuit board. We didn't see any burnt marks. This device runs hot constantly.Now, I bought a zojirushi as a replacement unit. It might cost more but it runs cool.

I wish I knew, because this is a common problem. But I have a suggestion. When you are done using it, donot turn it off! Turn it on the coolest setting, zero I think, and let it cool down with air blowing through it. About 45 minutes. Otherwise you will burn up the heating element!

Is your tip fully connected? Is there any solder on the tip? Have you turned up the temp and soldered a joint? Is your heat gun accurate? Does the light blink or stay lite?

Rob- Sorry, But Can't Help You. I Purchased the Heater About a Year ago and Have Given it to a Good Friend. Myself, After trying the Heater Out, I Was "VERY EMPRESSED" !!!. It was the Best Heater We Found, to Heat My Friends Garage, for Our Weekly Card Game. Hope It Helps ? Take care Ken

I have not had a problem with mine but definitely call the company and explain to them what has happened. Be firm but not rude in letting them know that you are not satisfied with the performance of the heater. I am sure they will do something to rectify the problem. Good luck.

I had the same problem so I exchanged mine for a new one. The new one works fine. I believe the original one had a faulty thermal cutoff switch. Mine would run for a minute or two when I first started it and then cut off. 30 seconds later it would run again but only for a few seconds. I wondered if I was somehow stressing the machine to much, perhaps I was working it too hard. But I'm just re-tilling a garden so my soil is not hard. And the new one works great, though I'm using it exactly the same way. So if you have this problem, I suggest you exchange it for a new unit.

I wish I could help. When the product was shipped to me, I opened it, plugged it in, turned it on, and found it defective. It barely put out heat and ran for about 10 seconds. I put it back in the box and took it to UPS for the return trip all within 15 minutes from the time it arrived.
