I purchased one of these a few months ago and now I can't get the top of it to heat up past 34, (zone 1) has anyone had this problem?

Yes and I kept moving the cables around the cables and wraps back with electrical tape. Started working but I unhooked every night. A few times I had come in and it was off but bed was hot. I really did not think it was so. Last week everything in my room was off but the room had a funny smell. Machine was turned off but this machine still burned up everything thank God I can in the next day everything had melted. Long story short send it back or chuck it. I am being honest. Thank God cause I was getting ready for 10 day vacation. Unplug every day. Problems starts get rid not worth it.

I have no problems at all with mine heating up the room... Let it rest for a while if you have it on constantly (high), 24/7.

Well, a lot of them. i had mine go out (as ecotemp said) and i don't think it got below 38f. if you do have a problem with yours im sure they will say it's because you let it freeze. thats what all their complaints are about it seems. and their customer service is non existent, they just said it was all my fault then (get this) he hung up on me. i never raised my voice (but he did) i tried to call back and they would not pick up my call. i will never even think about using them again. good luck!

Sounds like a defect. I have never had that problem. The bottom element always turns on and heats up for me.

It's been several months since we replaced ours, so only going on memory here. There was a 'one minute' button which would heat on high for one minute. If you enter say 530, it should heat for 5 minutes 30 seconds, at whatever power level selected. If it doesn't do that, it's defective. Try entering a time then hit the timer button, which should just time down and sound the alarm when the time is up. If that doesn't work either, you know it's defective. Good luck. (Our control panel worked fine for 10 years.)

that has not happened here with mine. Every item has come out perfect. I'm thinking you have a defective one that does not heat up enough. Oh Dear, now that is a hassle.

We just purchased ours a month ago, and they must have changed the temp max, ours has gone over 106

I haven't checked mine, but it's nowhere close to 140-150F; it's more in the 200F Range. Something is definitely wrong with your Machine.Did you descale it regularly? Maybe that's something to look at.

I could be an overheating issue.....when left in the on position for awhile it generates so much heat it turns itself off. I now have one that wont stay on more than 4 seconds on high and around 30 seconds on low..then the overheating sensor shuts if off. It seems once this happens it will always shut off instantly going forward.

I've never had that problem. Mine has worked fine since I got it. You might want to check and make sure its not getting to hot.

Sounds silly be but when the cool button is on it stays cool (unlike some that go back to hot when you stop pressing, it's almost more like an on and off button)try pressing up and let it run for 10-15 secs. If that's not the problem try contacting the company they are really good at sending new ones are sending free replacement pieces. Good luck!!

It may well be due to the low temp setting at 51. I would suggest trying the automatic temperature control versus adjusting the save-smart temperature and see if it makes any difference. The physical size of the area you are heating can also make a difference. Ours doesn't cycle near as often, but we keep the temperature set at 68 and heat a 900 sq ft area. If you still suspect something is wrong call 1-800-233-0268 (Lasko customer service) and see what they tell you. No matter what we'd appreciate knowing what you find out.

Mine is only about 6 months old, but I run mine at 91° and it has worked great so far. Maybe check that it is installed according to specifications? Or you may have a defective unit.

I never had occasion to check the unit for temperature, and having moved, no longer can do so. I am surprised at a report of heat, especially high heat. I suggest contacting Paradise directly as to a possible defect of this unit.

Mine has never has done that. I noticed it gets very hot in use. I would call the manufacturer or check on their support page.

Hi Rochelle ~ I've had my up and using it since September and have not experienced overheating and/or the 88.88. I would definitely be contacting the manufacturer or where you purchased it from if it's overheating and get another one. Good luck!!
