Is anyone having a problem with the heater shutting down during operation. I assume it is from over heating. After it cools it can be restarted.

We never had a problem and it does not shut off. You should check with manufacturer to see if it can be a defective unit

I encountered the same problem, it shuts down itself after being turn on for awhile. This is due to malfunction and bad design of the product. I returned mine to amazon once I found out the issue.

After approx. 33 days of owning the device it quit working completely. Of course its a 30 day warranty

We had the heater on for hours and never had any problems with it so far. The only time it shuts off is if we move it. You may want to contact the manufacturer and ask them what the problem is. They have a live chat on their website - http://firesense.com/

I had the same problem and was told by their customer service that a bad batch of thermostats was installed in some units. They are sending me a new thermostat, which i guess i will install myself. I also have had two issues now with the on/off switch not working properly. I am sorry I bought this unit.

We purchased our November 2012 and used it year 1 w/no issues, year 2 the unit failed several times and unplugging and plugging it back in worked, however, we are now on year 3 and the unit works for 3 minutes at a time and auto shuts off and won't light until cooled and unplugged and plugged back in. Today sent a note to the manufacture for assistance/replacements parts.

Rob- Sorry, But Can't Help You. I Purchased the Heater About a Year ago and Have Given it to a Good Friend. Myself, After trying the Heater Out, I Was "VERY EMPRESSED" !!!. It was the Best Heater We Found, to Heat My Friends Garage, for Our Weekly Card Game. Hope It Helps ? Take care Ken

I have not had that problem with my heater. But it sounds like there may be a small clog in the line near the pilot light.

Contact customer service I have heard they are very good about replacing defective units, mine is still working without any problems. I have read about complaints of heater unit failing, I'm crossing my fingers my unit is still working okay.

Hello, You might try to unplug it from the wall outlet for a minute and plug it back in again. If it doesnt work try it again. If that doesnt help your control thermostat on the front panel on the unit might be defective. I never liked the Lifesmart Heaters because mine was bought defective right out of the box new. It increased my electric bill too because it ran constantly. I will never buy another one again. If you need a new thermostat control you have to take the whole unit apart. If you have some warranty left on it they might fix it at the factory if you ship it to them. My Lifesmart Heater has a help number located on the back panel or check your owners manual. I hope this helps you out.

You mean it stopped working? I can't answer your question, because I no longer own my heater. I sent it back after only one week, back in December 2010.

did you turn up the dial to maximum heating temp?.sometimes it gets turned down by error. IF it is all the way up...check the electric going to the heater...(that it is on) IF good..they it burned out....get a new one...

Is your unit new or have you had it for some time? Problem normally w/ kerosene heaters from my experience is the wick or fuel is contaminated. I would contact mfg. they normally have been able to help me with this type of problem.

I haven't noticed this problem. I use the heater to heat up my garage to allow me to workout. Once the heater reaches the preset temp and turns off I unplug it. I'll let it cycle next time I use it to see if I experience the problem you describe.

My problem is If turn OFF the light is turn OFF, but heater is still ON, If you turn ON the heater the light is ON but heater is not ON not heating, sometimes when its ON and Its heating the thermostat numbers moves backward, from 90,85,80,75,and my room temp.showing 90degree Its funny ... I called Mickey Mouse Honeywell Heater, Ha,Ha,Ha, My Heater is just 2 months old, My Heater too make metal bending noise, I have to plug and unplug my heater every time from the wall socket to turn On and turn OFF ...to me Its a dangerous heater !!

This is a great heater. We haven't had a power outage this winter - so am unable to answer your question. However, I'm sure it would restart automatically & keep its setting. A good question for the manufacturer.

Yes. I appreciate the built-in safety regulator, but this model turns off when it's not overheating at all -- and, even if it were, the coils should shut down, not the fan. Without the fan to dissipate heat, it takes even longer for the heater to come back on. Very disappointing.

Your heater is broken. This happened to me as well. I've gone through a lot of steam cleaners, but this had the shortest life span.

I don't know. I keep my house at 62 degrees and let this heater run around 78, and it runs for an hour or more. It only shuts down for a while after the room is very warm. Then when the room temp drops the heater turns on again. Maybe try turning up the heater to 80 or more. I would try to make sure the heater can run for over 30 minutes before it shuts down due to the room temperature being warm enough.

not sure hasn't happened, but will come back on if you move the heater while on. shuts off and will go on by itself.

Buy a good heater next time. The one I bought lasted about one year. I heard a lot of stories about these heaters and not good stories either.
