Infrared Zone Heating System model number LS-1000X-4W S/N H291200665. I purchased it from Menard’s in 2012 however I no longer have the receipt. Unfortunately the thing nearly burned my house down. My wife and I awoke to a strong burning smell around 4 o’clock in the morning and I found that the heating element was on but the fan was not blowing. The unit was so hot I could not touch it. I pulled the plug out of the wall and let it cool down.

The product, in the report: Life Smart 1500w infrared heater
I am very concerned that the Life Smart 1500 watt space heater will cause a fire. When used a few hours, the AC plug gets extremely hot, so much so that the wall plate in my home began to melt. I purchased two of these units at the same time and the second one exhibits the same problem. I can supply photos of the damage if needed.
