I am not sure, but if it is plugged in to a grounded outlet it should be fine. If you are experiencing issues with the heater return it if you can as comfort zone is not the greatest customer service company

If this is heard only when set to PHONO, you could be experiencing static discharge (especially in very dry winter weather or if you routinely leave a record on the platter). Google "records static electricity" for more and suggested fixes.

To Everyone. I brought this adapter. Opened it up on Xmas Day, plugged it in, walked out of the room. I saw a orange glow out the corner of my eye and I started to smelled smoke. I walked back into my bedroom and the area rug was on fire.The adapter was on the floor by the baseboard. My floors are concrete, the sparks caught onto the rug. I'm so glad I was home when this adapter started a fire on the area rug in my bedroom and burn down my apartment.

You need to ensure there is no electricity going to the circuit before using the removal tool - it could cause a short, spark and cause damage to the socket.

I had the same problem, the flatscreen LCD TV made a loud crack or pop every few miutes, very annoying.I had a COX HD box (digital cable box from cable company) and had to unplug the box wait about fifteen seconds, then plug it in again. Had several days to weeks until I had to unplug the box again and then plug it in again.The pop was from some static created in the box and passed to the sound unit of the HDTV. Nothing to do with hot plastic.

i feel your digitizer must have gotten scratched during repair. i'm sorry to say, you might need to get a full replacement ie digitizer and LCD

Yes I think so. We have been using it since we turned our heat on . No static electricity in our home. Love it!

Well, I had my phone in my pocket cleaning the house. I would guess maybe about 10 or so would be the most. I now leave the phone on the counter while its on.

Sorry to hear that Scott. I would open it to look for obvious damage Luke a fuse or loose wire orr burned power supply.

Yes- the same thing just happened to us. We purchased this item two months ago and this morning found that the screen had a green scratchy tint. By the evening, we could view nothing. We've tried everything: changing outlets, resetting the base unit, changing out the batteries, turning off the wi-fi in the home in case of interference. Nothing worked! From what we can tell, it's a base unit issue, as the handheld is still capable of pulling up color without issue on the startup screen. Summer better be willing to make this right...For the $200 we paid, it's not worth it...

sorry - no insight here. my habit is to not multi-task with electronics, particularly when an electrical source is involved. neither me nor my electronic lineup have been electrocuted as a result.

No issues that I know of. Sounds like static electricity is effecting the unit? I'd say its defective. Good luck!!

Yes, I had a lot of static though. I found another cord on here that worked better. I don't remember the name of the other cord. It's in here though.

I haven't but it sounds like maybe the female connector(part that plugs into your power supply) may be too open(causing a poor contact with the male part(pin) in your power supply. You could try(WITH CORD NOT PLUGGED IN) sticking something like a ice pick and bending the round metal part that makes contact with your power supply to make a smaller tighter circle. Don't make it too small that you can't fit the pin from your power supply in the plug, just a little may work. That or if you haven't had it very long, call saying the one you got is defective. Things like this cord are very cheap and probably not tested as well as they should be, the sparking/arcing is caused by a intermittent poor connection. Probably not a fire risk but it could cause your power supply to fail prematurely.

I personally don't have a problem with static on a regular basis. When the mattress is encased by the protector, there was a bit of air inside it after it was zipped entirely. A tiny bit of static (Nothing of significance) may have occurred in between the mattress and protector after i forced the air out that was trapped inside. Other than that, I've had zero static problems since. Hope this helps!

NOt normal but lightning can cause many problems depending on how close the strike. May not be a fire hazard but anything can help. As long as the equipment was protected, the unit is worth the investment.

You bet!! Replace it as soon as you can. The hot could cause sparks, then fire! Good luck!
