The product, in the report: Hunter HPQ15C-EA electric heater 24 in. 1500-Watt Digital Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control
Our Hunter HPQ15C-EA began to act oddly, shutting off with no apparent reason. I removed the bottom, thinking that the plastic button that operates the tipping switch might be broken, and I’d repair it.
I found completely melted wires. See attached images.
I have rarely run this on HI, because of a personal preference to run devices such as this at medium power. We have another Hunter heater, and run it also at medium (LO).
Please see attached images. I feel fortunate that the wires simply melted apart. I cut off the damaged end and looked at it...it was completely separated from the spade connector, which I saved. The insulation was reduced to powder, and the copper wires are brittle. Perhaps a poor quality of copper wire?
