There is an electrical burn smell when on. Has anyone experienced this?

I never had this smell on mine. Have you checked the wire to make sure that there are no cuts? If there aren't any, I would definitely contact Cuisinart to make sure the unit is safe.

All LEDs will have some heat but nothing to hot to touch and I haven't had any smell, maybe just the adhesive. It should go away.

Have not been able to find an answer to your question. Some reviewers talked about a smell coming from the timer. I have not found this to be the case.

Never had this issue. I bought a replacement unit for one I had for over 20 years. The old one still worked but had been beaten up from 20 years of use on a boat to control inside moisture. I suspect that similar to turning on any home heater for the first time in the fall, the smell could be from dust particles that have collected on the heating element; it might depend on how the item was packed when shipped.

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

I don't know had to return it cause it started smelling like it was burning soon as turned it on and didn't come on the next time I tried to turn it on.

Sorry, this one is mounted in a box in outdoor installation so have no idea. I don't recall is having a smell. I can say it has worked flawlessly once I got it set up. If you get one just make -sure- to hook up the wires to the solar panel last. There isn't anything about this in the manual but if you hook up the panel before the battery is acts crazy.

I believe so ! Its Brand New ! I am sure that will go away ! are you sure there was no plastic touching it when u plugged it in !?!? Does it smell like plastic or rubber burning ?

this happened with mine too, i think it's ok. the lamp does get pretty hot, especially if you keep the tv on for a long time,and i think when the lamp is new, it hasn't been heated up that much. but the smell goes away after a few days.

i wasn't able to figure it out either, which is lame because i read that having blue lights on when you're trying to sleep makes it very difficult, also ive had mine 6 months and already it's gotten considerably noisier and i detect that electrical ozone smell or whatever they call it, smells not so much like, burning electronics, but really hot, overheating electronics, it's how my OCZ started to smell after 5-6 years of hard use, not 6 months of rare, intermittent use.

I get a slight gas odor when it ignites each time it lights. I am hooked up to natural gas which has an abundant amount of odorant. I have a natural gas cooking stove with electronic igniters. with the delayed ignition of the burners I get the same odor. with the heater the burner is quite long compared to the small pilot. I'm guessing with the large amount of gas being pumped out it can't burn all the fumes that quickly. ask your installer and see if he has the same explanation. also as long as there is no excessive amount of carbon monoxide everything should be ok. please advise me on my comments . remember I am not an expert. so ask these questions of your installer and advise if he agrees. I have my heater in a remolded garage converted into a large bathroom, shower and laundry which in itself has a lot of odors. I will be shortly be installing a fan which will hopefully disparate most of the odors. gordy from meriden conn.

No, you should not smell any burning. Dryer is defective. Stop using it and return it immediately

Yes my battery has a weird smell. Sort of like bad plastic Kind of smell. So it has been there for a while. And it will not go away. I don't know if this is normal or not. Maybe it is normal for bad quality batteries or bad quality plastic

Not an electricity expert either but this thing started smelling very burnt and started discoloring after a month plugged into our 120 v so I don't think I'd risk it... We had to throw ours away to avoid an electrical fire. Have you tried the Comfort Zone spray? That might be a better option for you.

No odor noticed on mine. Works well. Maybe just some dust being burned off at startup. Should not be a smell after that.

I got no smell.. but I would think that is is not totally un common... if there was any residual oil or other substance on the plastic it will burn off.. it should stop after a short time... good luck..
