i hated the heater, it worked for 12 hours then did not work at all, in order for me to return the defective merchandise, i had to pay for the shipping, which would run me about 40 to 50.00, so i trashed it. i don't understand why i had to pay for the shipping, when they sold me a heater that didn't work, i will never buy another one!!!

Be sure the batteries are installed correctly. Try unplugging the heater and re-energize.

Use a voltage meter to check for 12v at the connection between the long wire and the short wire going to the heater. If you do have 12v there then there is a problem with the heater itself. Otherwise I think there is a fuse in the part that plugs into the cigarette lighter. The circuit that supplies the cigarette lighter usually also has a fuse on it.

I would unplug the unit for a few minutes then plug it back in. If that doesn't work then try resetting the unit, here is the link for the instructions: http://www.uniden.com/content/ebiz/uniden/resources/ownersmanuals/D1680-4om.pdf

Your heater is broken. This happened to me as well. I've gone through a lot of steam cleaners, but this had the shortest life span.

The fan should come on when plugged in. Return it before it before it over heats and isn't repairable.

I do not have this experience yet. It seems like the heater should be shut off when power goes out, restarting the unit should require manual reset. Hope the unit is designed this way.

My problem is If turn OFF the light is turn OFF, but heater is still ON, If you turn ON the heater the light is ON but heater is not ON not heating, sometimes when its ON and Its heating the thermostat numbers moves backward, from 90,85,80,75,and my room temp.showing 90degree Its funny ... I called Mickey Mouse Honeywell Heater, Ha,Ha,Ha, My Heater is just 2 months old, My Heater too make metal bending noise, I have to plug and unplug my heater every time from the wall socket to turn On and turn OFF ...to me Its a dangerous heater !!

I don't kno if this will help. It is complete, sealed. If it isn't corroded at plug in ,it will work. Everything is new from where you unplug it.

You might try unplugging the unit from the wall socket , wait a few minutes then plug it back up.

Make sure the blue plugs are together for cooling. Otherwise you might have to send in for a new plug

Yes, it is a plug in. I am not sure of the voltage but I live in a trailer and it works fine. I set it on a certain temp and it clicks on and off as needed. Love the heater.

Make sure you do not have it inserted in the neutral prong of the receptacle or it will not show voltage. You should always test it on something you know is hot first to make sure It is working before you rely on it

Yes, I almost thought that the heater was not working. I just use as hot of water that I can stand and forget about the heater. We have chalked this purchase up to a poor choice.

You mean it stopped working? I can't answer your question, because I no longer own my heater. I sent it back after only one week, back in December 2010.

So far the heater does not turn off by itself. There is a red light the glows to show power is on.
