The product, in the report: baseboard heater--see previous info.. The photos I have are from an email sent to me by my daughter’s phone. I don’t know how to send them since they aren’t filed on my computer....just in my computer email inbox. I can forward the email to you if you have an email address that is not in a form....just a plain old email address....no forms.
Please send me an email address so I can forward to you the photos of the Hydro-Sil baseboard heater which had an electrical fire in the control panel. I purchased 4 of these around 2005-2006 and have been happy with them until now. I need to be able to forward the photos and not send them as an attachment.....that is.... if you want the photos.
I just want to warn others this may be a problem. I tried to contact Hydro-Sil to see whether they would like to see what happened to the heater. They are no longer in business. I never received a recall notice on this. The NC DOJ had not received any reports on a possible fire hazard. They are taking the company to court for other consumer issues. The company had an A+ BBB rating when I bought from them.
