How long have you had it? If you are still inside the return window, that is what I suggest. I had two heating elements go out within about 6 hours of work. Returned it and got a Hakko. No regrets.

I have had mine 8 months. I repair musical gear. Keyboards etc. No trouble out of mine. Have not needed to crank it past 385. There not mentioned for fast. But precision. Elements available on amazon or manufacturer website. My buddy burns his up alot too. Too much heat

No I have not ever had to replace the heater unit, I use mine everyday ( Cause of such a cold winter) and it still runs wonderful. Comfort glow is such a great company, call them and I'm sure they will tell you how to replace, but looking at mine, I would say the bottom?

The heating element is plastic , developed a crack and could not be repaired on mine. I replaced it with Rheem that performs much better .

I called the supplier (Back to Basics) and they sent me a new one for free, but mine was broken when I received the unit but I am sure they will sell you one. They were very positive in their customer support.

It's got a year warranty. If a heating panel goes out, you have to replace it. When you bought it, there should have been a paper in it with instructions to replace. They are fast so just call and send the current one back and get a new one.

I would try contacting Thermos. I found this online: www.thermosonline.com/replacement-parts.html Good luck.

Mine stopped working after a year as well. Turns out this is kind of a common problem, and the only published fix is to send it in to Honeywell, at your expense (to send it and receive it). For that much money and effort, you're better off buying a better, more reliable space heater.

I haven't tried. But it's not s trough it's the heating element. Apparently they are not very helpful with replacements according to other reviews. personally, when mine dies completely I'm getting rid of it.

Miss Gosset; The company advises you not to open the heating unit but if you call them they will tell you how to take care of the problem. I still had the warrentee on mine & they sent me a whole new unit. They will probably let you purchase a new electrical unit if you don't have an effective warrentee now. Just give them a call & they can direct you. Hope this helps. Joanna

There should be a number on the right side of the machine; call them and give them the model number, and they can tell you where to send it for service. Sounds like you may have some lime scale insulating the heating element from the water you are trying to heat.

I have not yet had to replace mine, but if/when that time comes I would think that some of heat gun elements offered on ebay, compatible w/ Liester or Bak Rion heating guns would work as a replacement. I second the recommendation to let the heat gun run on level zero to allow the element to cool after use. I just let it run until the gun nozzle is cool to the touch.

I think you can replace the element if that's what has broken. If you go to a sight called 'How To Mend It' they seem to have an answer for you. good luck and a Happy New Year to you and your family.

Yea happened to me too. I emailed them and they sent me a replacement part. I was told not to max out the heat temp. So I kept it less then a 100 deg. C from the max temp after I replaced the thermol . They did not charge me for the part either. So basically if I were you and if you have time to return it for a full refund and buy another one and keep it 100 c under the max temp you should be fine. You could email them and see if they will give you the replacement part but it was a little hard changing the part. But it can be done. It's been working fine ever since.

We had one and in order to fix that problem, it had to be shipped back to the company, packed in a exact way and they supposedly would reset it. Ours was only 1 yr. old and we had used it 3 months during the winter. We paid more for a better warranty and we ended up just junking it. Good luck as we were not happy with the iHeater.

I have never repaired one of these but basically there is going to be a thermal fuse in series with the heating element. Odds are that fuse has activated by open circuit /defect. It's a common problem with devices operating near the fuse threshold. You would take it out, read the rating marked on the side of it, order a replacement on an electronics supplier website like Digikey, then put a new one in. It needs to be brass crimped on due to the heat, not soldered.

I would try e-bay, because the manufacturer phone # does not provide service any more. I tried to buy an extra gasket because I know they eventually wear out, and was told when I called that they no longer supply parts, service, or help of any kind. This was about a year ago. If you are able to return the pressure cooker you might want to do that. If not you could disassemble it to sell the parts on e-bay. I need a gasket :). I hope Montel is hanging his head in shame over this, but most likely he's laughing his way to the bank and doesn't care.
