What does it mean if the set does not turn on and you have a slight burning smell?

It means something is burning and you should disconnect it. It also means you have a good sense of smell.

That means something is WRONG big time!!! Turn it off and have it checked out by a pro. Something is burning and u don't want a fire in ur truck or car.

yes, i did. just yesterday was the first time i had the light on for an extended period of time. the plastic got hot and was getting "broken in" and you could smell it. i turned on the fan and seems to have gone away now. sort of like when you get a new toaster or toaster oven. first couple of uses you can smell the parts...

Hi, If the item is very hot (after a long time using), you may switch it off and then switch on again.

Did you put the battery in correct way? Check it,if still not work try in different way and see. Or try new battery and check the connection ( contact) of battery. If still not work then could be problem of the set. My set has no problem to start.

There was a slight smell at first but it wore off. This is common in many electric heaters. I call it the newness smell. However if it continues to smell and the odor is strong there may be some defect. Possibly a piece of plastic stuck on the heating element inside. Give it a few days and let it run for a couple of hours.Keep a close watch on it.

I would not use any appliance if it smells like something is burning. I would contact the mfr. immediately. We have one, it works fine and there is no odor.

I am sorry to that I can't help you. This was a gift for my grandson. He loved the set. My son and his wife were pleased with it and had no complaints as to any odor.

If your smelling plastic burning that's not a good sign. I never had that problem with mine. I would suggest sending back to manufacturer.

My husband smelled it too, we investigated and found the cover to have melted and turned dark brown. that was only after using it a short time. I would take your tv cover off and look. These bulbs could be a fire hazzard.

I can hear a slight sound on mine, along with the light going off. It seems to take several seconds to reactivate if there is constant movement.

I say send it back and request an exchange. Mine just had a new smell and was ok to use immediately.

No zots? No light? No heat? Sounds BROKE to me! Really, take it back where you bought it and replace it or get your money back. Mine lights up when I push the on button and heats up immediately.

There is a slight "something cooking" odor, more so when the unit is new. Mine is over one year old and I don't notice the odor any longer.

Depends on the smell. If it is a plasticky smell, it is due to it being a new product, all plastics emit an odor for a short time. A week out of the box and it will be gone, even a few hours in the sun will do it. If it is a burning smell, it could be a short circuit, if so return it.

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