The product, in the report: Crofton Ceramic Tower Heater with the Oscillating Feature Model # HC-T51M made 01-13 Purchased at Aldi store in Marion, Illinois.
We were using a Crofton Ceramic Tower Heater Model # HC-T51M made 01-13. We noticed after about thirty minutes it was not heating anymore. We let the unit cool down and opened to see the issue. The black wiring in the unit had been melting and burning for some time. About 4 inches of the wire had been charred and melted. The black coating on the wiring had become brittle. Wiring had broke from the heat from where it was originally saudered to.
