The product, in the report: Fahrenheit model number FSSWH1502 Smart Series Forced Air Low Output 120 Volt wall heater.
Purchased a Fahrenheit model number FSSWH1502 Smart Series Low Output 120 volt force air wall heater about 6 years ago from Home Depot. On 11/24/2017 (last time we used it) went to turn off the heater and it wouldn’t turn off. The on its own went from 68 degrees where is was set all the way up to 78 degrees in about 2 hours. All we were doing was warming our bedroom up before bed time. The only reason for turning it off was it was too noisy. It is no longer hook up and I have removed it. I worked fine before this happened. If we had went somewhere and left it on who knows what would have happened.

The product, in the report: Fahrenheat FUH54 5000-Watt, 240-Volt Garage Heater
I purchased a Fahrenheat FUH54 5000-watt electric heater from Home Depot in January of 2014 and had it installed in my garage. I ran the unit to keep the garage at about 50-degrees through the winter. This fall I turned the unit back on to again keep the garage slightly heated. On two occasions the heater thermostat failed to turn off the heater. The last time it happened, the garage was close to 80-degrees before I discovered it was stuck on. I turned off the breakers to the heater to shut it off. I then opened the bottom of the unit where the thermostat and wiring is located. I found that one of the wires that goes to the thermostat had the insulation charred off on the thermostat end, indicating it had overheated a lot. I did some research online and found that the thermostat in the unit is known for this defect...that there is a flaw with the thermostat that causes arcing and overheating. This is a HUGE fire hazard. There was enough heat in the wire to destroy the wire insulation which is also enough to start a fire. The serial number on the thermostat is 5813-11002-000, thermostat model number is ATC-26B SPST.
