Of course, coldest days this winter and my heater stops working. Is there anyway to trouble shoot these heaters?

Only thing I did was clean the prongs, and that didn't help. My power source has traditionly handled the load nicely so I know It's not that.

Is there a fuse or where do I start? Am I SOL and need to order another one?

Do a continuity check with a voltmeter on the power cable

No need to start my own topic, but I am running into the same problem. The unit is plugged in but generating no heat at all.

As mentioned above, there is a big spark when I unplug the unit under load, so if there is 1000W of current flowing what should I test next?

Thanks,
