After 6 months, my unit now keeps going off after about an hour. No, I don't have the timer set to go off. Any ideas?

I haven't experienced that with my unit. Sounds like you need to contact customer service.

I absolutely love this little heater! My electric bill dropped from $150 to $50. Yes mine turns off and on sometimes quickly but it is producing heat. I changed the mode around and back. It got better. I would contact them and ask what can be done if it persists.

Check to make sure the room temperature is lower than the setting. If the room reaches the set temperature it will shut off. But it will come back on once the room temp drops again, but there is a lag between the temps.

Where do you live? Has it now turned warmer there? One of the last times I used my heater, about a month ago, it only ran for about 15 minutes and then turned itself off. I happen to have a couple small thermometers in my bedroom, so I noticed the temp was warmer than the 68 setting I had the unit turned onto. I did use it a couple times after that in the bathroom which is on a very shady side of the house and the heater worked like normal. So I think it's just smart enough to know when it's not needed. This is just a guess on my part.

As others have mentioned, check to see that the unit is not set to manually on, if it is not then you probably are experiencing the beginning of many problems to come with this unit. I returned the one I bought because of similar problems. Mine experienced problems early and multiplied with age. Read some of the reviews on Amazon. I would advise taking it back if possible. This would be a great unit if it worked properly for a reasonable amont of time.

Seriously ? Mine never stops unless I power it off. The only thing I can think of is something with the timer setting. Maybe you have the timer set to go off every few minutes. Can you get a stopwatch and get some data on the intervals of on/off ? Maybe unplugging it will reset it if it is for some reason set by the timer option. If that doesn't reset it then perhaps it is malfunctioning. It definitely sounds like timer related.

since it is intermittent it sounds like you may have a load (that is not always on) connected on the timer line side. The timer side needs a dedicated path. Also, you may want to check and make sure that the voltage on the line side matches the voltage you set the unit to.

My timer still works, bought one back in Oct 2012. It should have manuf warranty for at least a year. Try it

Wish I had an answer. I've noticed that about mine as well. I set the duration for 10 seconds, and it only dumps for 5 on the timer.

I don't use the timer as it was slow to set. I use the light sensor and have the lights come on at dusk and go off 6 hours later

Mine is still going after 6 months. Every now and then I forget to turn it off after I use it, so I appreciate the auto-off feature that turns it off for me after a few minutes.

It has a timer. It'll only run for that set amount of time then it'll turn off. That's normal.

I agree with both previous answers - the timer is really loud. I can't find my instruction booklet, but the box it came in said automatic shut-off. I just checked the Cuisinart website and it says automatic shut-off after four hours.

I also have never got the timer/clock to work even after uninstalling, reinstalling, switching wires, reading instructions over and over, praying and being overall pissed. Have been manually using it as a switch for the off/on operation until I rip it out for the last time and toss it. Clock does not seem to keep time.

Have had mine for a few days, and I can't get the timer button to work. Any clues?

This happened to me also. I noticed that the little tabs that determine when the timer goes on were bumped and not fully in or out. I set them correctly, either in or all the way out, and it's been working correctly since. I hope this helps you.

It shuts off automatically after 1 hour. I don't think you can override that.

There is a timer on the unit. Make sure it has been turned off. If it isn't it will shut off before it reaches 50.... I know you said it runs longer and still doesn't drop down to 50. Make sure you read instructions and check all settings. I had this problem in the beginning... I had to read the booklet again.... Hope this helps Mine works great
