Does anyone else have issues with it tripping the breakers? I've had this happen in three different rooms I've plugged it into the wall in.

Only when I also turned on my electric stove heater, other than that no issues. It is adorable puts out warmth with very little noise.

No problem with ours - we did change out the old electric socket for a new one though. The old one was slightly loose & pretty old. We have a Heat Surge Accent also. These heaters are awesome!

I've purchases 3 of these units for work and have had no trouble at all. We love these heaters and would highly recommend to others.

yes it does, my big one also does it too. I cannot iron clothes when I have the fireplace on, but I still enjoy them.

Assuming the outlet is working, it sounds like your base unit is shot. I've had a couple of these phones now and they are very sensitive to power surges. I put my current unit on a surge protector and it's lasted several years now.

Most complaints were due to the ports failing. The old units had a hardware fuse on each port. If it blew that port would no longer work. The new units they are replacing them with have breakers on each port which reset after everything has been unplugged and the unit sits for 20 minutes or so. I have 2 of the new ones and the breakers to my knowledge have never tripped.

It will not trip just because power goes off and on.If it trips because of a ground fault or because you test it, the gfci will not reset automatically. You must push the reset button.

The red light on mine comes on everytime I "plug" it in to the wall. I would say it is defective. Try several sockets to check for sure.

I have the two devices plugged into different breakers and they work, though I think it's not guaranteed that they do.

I haven't had that problem with mine. Would suggest you check circuit breakers and/or try an electrical outlet in another room to eliminate that as a cause.

That has never happened to me, so I can't answer specifically. However, if I unplug it, it must be reset again, so I assume the same would be true of a power failure.

I have had no issues with my steamer. First, I would make sure it is, in fact, the steamer. If you pug a hair dryer into the same plug and it trips, then it could be that the circuit just cannot handle the load. You can maybe get a new breaker... but, perhaps you should just try a different plug. Further, even if the chord looks OK, it can still be disfunctional. If you breaker does not trip when you plug in a hair dryer or similarly power hungry device, the steamer may be disfunctional. I would try to return it. If it is beyond the "return" stage, then you can change the plug on the chord and see if you still have the same problem. Good luck... I have had no issues with my steamer.

I have experienced the same thing. The blue switch mentioned in Mgg1978 works in a similar function to a circuit breaker. Christopher Covington's post is spot on. I removed the door, check the switch, replaced the door & have not experienced this problem since.

Yes, we have, but we live in a very old house. All of the outlets have a hard time handling certain things plugged in. It only happened once or twice in the many months we used it. Don't know about newer houses.

Plugged it into a regular wall outlet, which has other equipment on it, ie lights, fan and it has not been an issue. I use 20 amp breakers.

Others have expressed problems with tripped breakers and blown fuses; however, I have not had any problem. My printer is on the same 15 amp circuit with plugs and lights from several rooms. I have a 30-year old house, so my electrical circuits are not cutting edge by any means.

I had this happen to mine before. Once was when it was not plugged in all the way from the cord where it goes into the pad. Another time it happened after the power went out; we just unplugged it from the wall outlet, then plugged it back in and it worked fine. Hope this helps!

Is there anything in the home you can try shutting down? Sounds like it's caused by electrical noise, and could be something else causing it.Thankfully I guess my power's okay, as mine's never done that and I've had it a year.

Never had that problem. Did you try plugging it into a different outlet. Some are on light switches. Sorry I haven't more help to give.
