The product, in the report: Heat Surge electric heater. Model #30000488. Approximately 10” h X 15”w. This unit looks like a mini fire place. Two switches on the back operate the electric element and the fire place simulator.
My son turned on our Heat Surge, electric heater, model #30000488, and walked out of the room. a few minutes later he walked back into the room and noticed a large amount of smoke and smell of something burning. He noticed that the heater’s fire place was not lit up and unplugged the unit and carried it outside. when I got home I took the back off to see what happened and all the wires were melted together. It appeared that a connecter somehow came loose from the fan cage and rested against the metal on the side and started melting the inside wiring.
