The product, in the report: Milk house heater. 4 settings off, fan, 1300W and 1500W with thermostat
Howard Berger Co. Inc. Model CZ792, 120V 1500 A Milkhouse heater. and other models that use thermostat model HUAHUI. MT3 thermostat. I Wrote to the company but so far no response. There seems to be a design fault. The safety switch tilt wieght has a plastic mount that melted and dropped off thus defeating it’s purpose. The thermostat adjustment range allows the leaf spring to short out and cause the heater to be 100% of the time and have electrical contact with the leaf rather than the contact points. We can send photos if needed or the thermostat. No fire occured.. luck not skill. The units are not UL nor CSA listed but no claims were ever made that they were. Lesson learned read the label.
