- Showing how to fix a small space heater by replacing the thermal fuse.
I am aware that I made a mistake with the level of the background music. I very much appreciate all of you kind people who defended me against those few people who rudely pointed out my error. To those who made constructive comments regarding my audio gain mistake, thanks. The point is well taken. I have taken a video editing class, so my skills are improved; but I prefer not to spend time correcting this less-than-perfect video, since it is getting the message across adequately. Cheers to all and upward wishes.

i've got one of these wonderful old metal shop heaters and this is the exact fix video I needed to see. Thank you for the illumination.
I am a female that knows absolutely zero about fixing anything mechanical but after watching your video, I fixed my small Holmes heater all by myself....yeah, all by myself. I am so proud. I feel like a big time electrical mechanic now...lol...Thank you so very much.
There are few things more rewarding than repairing something that was on it's way to the trash heap. Congrats!
John Heiney absolutely
Way to go Linda. Thank you uploader.
Linda Goad good job and just because we are girls doesn't mean we should know, I'm a girl and I fix diesel engines, still the only girl I've seen so far lol. We must encourage our daughters to be more knowlegable on men's subjects
those complaining about the music turn on your "captions" easy as that thank you for making this video
If he wants more viewers
or subscribers then he'll keep the music off.
Older dudes should use the Internet more. This is much more helpful than others I saw that were useless and not helpful. Thanks.
Some heaters can have a self-resetting thermal overload device. The Lakewoods don't have it, but if your brand does it will cause the heater to stop, then work again later after it cools down. If your heater is acting up, it can be a problem with the wall outlet, or somewhere between the outlet and the breaker panel. A house can have a poor connection in the wiring. If there is a poor connection at the outlet, it will generate excess heat. If the plug and/or outlet get hot, you have a problem there. Please understand that I am not an expert at fixing heaters. I just figured out that the thermal fuse was the problem with mine, and hoped to help others avoid discarding good heaters that can be fixed. I am aware that I made a mistake with the level of the background music. I very much appreciate all of you kind people who defended me against those few people who rudely pointed out my error. To those who made constructive comments regarding my audio gain mistake, thanks. The point is well taken.

Great video but turn the music down can't hear what your saying
Turn the music up! Loved the heat wave theme! Helped make something as annoying as a dead space heater fun to repair (I downloaded the song off iTunes and blast it on the loudspeakers as I fixed it). Many a thanks!
That was exactly the very same heater type that i own that stopped running ! That was excellent instructions on how to DIY.. Thanks a million..
Much thanks John Heiney, after watching your video I was able to get my space heater going using the insulated wire inside a co-axle cable to make the jump, amazing.
Saved me from sleeping in a cold van.
My night of sleep is thanks to you
The same thing happened to my space heater (I have the exact same one you to) about a year ago. I replaced it with a resettable temperature switch from an old furnace that was rated at the same temperature. Now for trips, it will auto reset. Next thing that went out on that space heater was the thermostat, it fused and wouldn’t shut off. This thermostat has a tip over sensor that connects to the thermostat to disconnect power. I replaced the thermostat with one from an old in-wall space heater, and added a pressure switch to the bottom of the heater to act as a tip over sensor. Now all I have to do is add a knob to the new thermostat, and I’m golden.
How has it worked? Does the temperature switch trip correctly? If so what one did you use? I need to replace mines thermal fuse and figure if I can upgrade it then why not.
Johnny, Guess what died last night? I watched your video and ordered the fuse on Amazon. You are a wizard!
Great video, got the part from your comment section NTE8110 from Amazon, and with your directions fixed my heater in less than 10 minutes. Thank you.
I know nothing about electrical stuff, but am determined to rescue my great little DeLonghi Tower heater. Can't find the thermal fuse (yet), but we have a multi-meter somewhere and your video gave me the info (and courage) to move forward. Have to learn how to use the meter and then I'll be back if I have questions or to report. For now, I've retrieved this great little heater. Thank you for giving me the inspiration. (and to hell with all the nay-sayers on the Motown music. Great video!)
Best video I have seen all year!
thank you man it's been three days of could in 8c until you become and helped me
Great video! To the point and clear. Music made your voice a bit hard to hear in parts.
I like the tune it compliments the video heat wave🎼And I understood the whole consept of changing the fuse 👍🏼
My space heater just died. This is exactly the video I needed to fix it. Great job! Thanks! BTW, the music is cute but makes the video harder to watch.
Excellent music video, although it seemed like I could hear some talking in the background at times.
Thanks for posting. Fixed and warm now!
when you add music as a bed it is not supposed to overpower. I was unable to continue watching this as the music was ultimately too annoying and loud. Had to move on.
C Roob SAME
Tough shit...its his creation, your just visiting
all was fine with his music... just fix ur sound system...
I gave up my whole repair project. Couldn't find another video and couldn't hear this one.
You couldn’t ask for a better compacted heater!
Thank you for helping me out to fix my heater! As far as the music..GREAT TUNE! To hell with the haters. Have a nice day!
For all you trolls that don't
Like this music. I your butts
Freeze off this winter.
Get rid of background music!
They're right, please leave that music out!

Lol for real, shit agitated me
Lol...sounds funny but enjoyable😂
You can jump it with a wire of course and it will work fine. But a thermal fuse costs $1.50. A house costs $100,000 and up. You decide. The temptation is to replace the fuse with a wire, just to get the heater working until you can get a fuse. That's OK, unless you're a procrastinator like me. This heater needs a fuse in the range of 120 degrees C. I have four of these heaters, so I keep an extra fuse on hand.
Hi, I have a problem with one that does heat but the autocycler does not work, any advice?
Do you know where a guy can get a replacement thermostat for these type milkhouse heaters?
The thermal fuse is either good or blown. Other brand heaters might have a thermal overload device. These can automatically re-set after a cool-down period. They pretty much all have a thermostatic control which turns the heating element and fan motor off and on to regulate temperature. These can malfunction and cause erratic off / on cycling. I really don't know much about these heaters besides finding out about the thermal fuse when I took my first one apart.
I have the same heater but mine works only intermittently. The thermostat seems to be malfunctioning. The heater won't stay on very long and then it keeps starting and stopping never actually staying on. Any advice?

Hard to hear over the music
Thanks so much for sharing you knowledge!
Please remove music from the background, I can not focus on what you say. But thank you very much for the video.
the music is loader than your voice but you deserve the like
Thanks for the video! BUT PLEASE turn the music way down, or off! Can’t hear you talk.
Good video! Ignore others comments abt the music. Wasn't my fave but had no problem hearing you when you spoke. Some people just have to have something to bitch about.
thanks for sharing this video..done everything..keep in touch always
Excellent tutorial and I loved the music.
Really? Loved it?
Thanks for the education. 👍
You can replace the thermostat if you can find one like it. Take a picture before you disconnect the wires, so you can reassemble properly. It is possible to replace the thermostat with an on/off switch, but then you will have only high and low settings. That might be acceptable for some situations. Experiment thoughtfully. Safety is of prime importance.
sir great video to the point thank you!!!!!
ThankYouGreatSound!!!
I worked at a retail store where half of these heaters came back. I checked a few and most were thermal fuses blown. Weak? or overtaxed? I got several working and found that some were a bit tight on the tolerances and the fan blades would rub against the internal duct. It took a bit of twisting to get the fan to run centered in the housing.
Can't hear a darn thing your saying with the music playing, I mine had a melted piece of plastic attached to what seems like a bearing
my vorando heater, when it set at high speed , the coil will star to get red and will shut down. but if i unplug it and turn on low setting , let it run on low setting for a few minutes, then turn it on high setting it will run fine. what would cause that ? great vid by the way!!!
Now if someone could post a picture sharing how to adjust the automatic high limits to a higher temperature. They all shut off at way too cool of temperature, then you have to turn it off for a while so it will reset and can only run on medium heat even though there is a high setting. Many have both a thermal fuse type like the one in the video AND an automatic type.
Wow Awesome 👏 Thank you 🙏🏼 so much! 👍🏼
I like the background music sounds good keep up the good work.
How about using the same model of heater and showing us how to replace a frayed cord that is frayed right where it exits the heater's casing? In the picture, the cord exits the case on the lower righthand side of the unit. I am having a hard time removing the plastic insulator from the case.
Leave the bloody music out. Good video
It was bloody.
1:45 what size butt connectors is that? Where do you get them? Thank you.
GOTDAMN MUSIC IS DRIVIN' ME NUTS!!!😲
Forget it! Im Gone!!!
Geeeezus!!!
what if only the low setting does not work? My low setting only the fan blows but no heat, High setting works fine.
If you just jump with a wire I know you say possible to burn house down but where would the trouble or fire be?
Right at the heater it’s self or cord?
Or do you think at the breaker box or wiring leading to breakers
This is a helpful video. The space heater that I have isn't creating any heat inside, and the fan is moving very slowly. Would the thermal fuse cause the fan to slow way down, too? Or is there something else wrong with mine?
I was afraid I was going to be able to hear his instructions clearly. But nope, thank god. That annoying music took care of that.
Tone down the music so you can hear instructions
One of my Patton Space heaters is running continuously regardless of the settings. I suspect the temperature dial (my own description of it) is defective. I have to unplug the space heater for it to shut off.
Good video but please lose the music way too loud...and I'm not an old guy who doesn't enjoy music but I couldn't hear what you were saying.
I got that same heater! Would the thermol fuse make it continue to run and not turn off even when the knob is turned to the off position??
If it's producing heat, then the thermal fuse is still good. Sounds like you have a thermostat issue. If it still works properly, you can get an in-line on/off switch: www.amazon.com/STARELO-Extension-Waterproof-Grounded-Receptacle/dp/B0CH814D6H/ref=sr_1_1_sspa
Felt hyped 2 minutes into it and then realized i just got rid of most my electrical tools and stuff. FML
This video seemed very promising, but when that very annoying noise ("music") started, I had to look for another video.

Its criminal how cheaply many brands of these type of heater are made...my screws wont hold after removing...gonna have to use bigger ones...i haven't liked the thermal fuse since the beginning
..if i turn it on i want hot air coming out..in my boat the the reflection of infrared waves off the shiny and smooth white gel coat of much of the interior I believe triggers this fuse before heat has sufficiently spread throught the cabin...its only a 24' sailboat and these heaters would work fine....an older model with just Hi/Low switch kept me toasty warm in 15°f weather..once i got the dial equipped models they shut off....all three I've purchased....2 went swimming in frustration so the third will be the patient in my experimental electonics surgery attempt today..
Thanks for the video, we have a Patton milk house heater similar to yours, it has 2 heat settings and I noticed about a week ago that it wasn't cycling properly, it started to kick on and off often. Now when I turn the heat control knob all the way up it acts like it wants to run and sometimes it'll run for a few seconds but then shuts off again. I can hear it clicking a lot while it's trying to start but it mainly just clicks on and off and won't get going. Does this sound like something other than a thermal fuse? I think you mentioned in another comment that the a thermal fuse either works or doesn't, there's no in between?
Music is blaring at ear splitting level.
How you clean it
Informative ...but the background music is an annoying distraction!
How to fix DQ 1702, comes in and off, I'm guessing that the wall plug-in when it gets hot it's causing it to go on and off???
I have a part that became unattached. For the life of me, I can't make out where it goes. I am very mechanically inclined. I watched your video hoping to spot a replica. Help. !!
Thank you. :)
thank you
More better without music
oh man good old radio shack so *nastalgic*
Great helpful video but I could really do without the blasting music. This is an informational video not a high school hop.
Will you turn the music up a little more ? Sorry but it sounds like someone talking in the background.
Thanks I love this song
Could have heard you better , if the music wasn’t so loud .
thanks
Is it a blown fuse if need shaking forever to blow heat when it is on , after cleaning it inside , is what made it impossible to work ?.
My coil's are set " north & south position , straight " , and has 2 black knob's on the face , like a " 8 " almost , and a red circle light above the top of the top black knob .Then above of the knob's is the vent iI guess is called where the heat goes out at .I wish I knew how to fix it . I should of just let more dust get inside , & wait for a fire from the dust , so my room would be warmer longer .
I have a small fan heater similar to this. It turns on and turns off after 10-15 seconds. Does this fix work in the same manner.
M. Irfan Arif I have the same problem with a Patton milk house heater, started cycling on and off a lot about a week ago, now it won't stay on for any length of time but I can hear it trying to cycle on and off....
Annoying music but good info
too much metal noise comes not the fan kind a shaky part may be resistance?? what u thing?
Loud music, could not hear the repair explanation
Another video ruined by background music.
Dump the music.
Here, here!
Amen to that! Couldn't hear half of what the hell he was saying because of that noisy background. Never use background music in an instructional video...Shame on you, John.
Hell yeah
Where did u buy the fuse? Could've put a link in the description for us
Manuel Rodriguez he showed it in the plastic package from radio shack
Radio Shack. Part # 270-1322.
I appreciated the info but it was hard to hear with the song volume so much higher
My space heater is warm but not hot and I tested the thermal fuse on a multimeter which gives a reading, could it be going bad?
Probably one of the elements burned out. These small heaters usually have a high and low setting. The low is probably wired in direct so it heats anytime you turn it on. The high rating (second heating element) is selected and turns on the second element and it should feel warmer. If one of them is burned out you will have low output.

The thermal fuse is either good or blown. Other brand heaters might have a thermal overload device. These can automatically re-set after a cool-down period. I really don't know much about these heaters besides finding out about the thermal fuse when I took my first one apart.
I have 3 of these and they all start and stop very annoying
Why you have the music so loud? Can barely hear what you said.
music drown out talking
Music is too loud. It's distracting and makes it hard to hear the speech.
Can I send you my Patton space heater? I have no idea how to do this and I have none of the tools. I am willing to pay to ship it out to you. I'm desperate. Please help!
Get rid of the music
That damn music........😢😢
Tell ur neighbors to turn down their music next time they have a party -isn’t there a noise ordinance in the neighborhood?
What is the benefit of playing music while you are talking whether it is "Heat Wave" by Martha and the Vandellas or not? It is definitely a detraction. I went to another channel after a minute and 32 seconds. Why be annoying when you are trying to provide instructional video? Use the music as a short intro into your video and then kill it.
Is own Lee way to fix it
Please dont play music over your instruction.
the music should be off, he needs to talk louder.
Interesting decision to play music over your voice instructions. Uh vay
As I'm in a disco party! he should turn the music off completely it's annoying. disappointed.
Mine keep turning off. Mine is electric
I just threw mine in the trash after the dog knocked it down, it wasn't on but the blades bent
What? I can't hear you! Byep
