I cant answer that one but perhaps you need a plug adaptor I would contact the company.

When I turn my A10 on in the morning it takes 2 minutes for the boiling water sound to come to a complete stop because the thermostatic relay tripped the heating element off. I hope that is not too long a wait ;)

As the other users commented, it's either your stove (not so likely) or your outlet (more likely). If you run low voltage the amps will increase and you'll get a very hot cord. Or, if the outlet is in poor condition your not getting good contact between the plug and the outlet. This also can heat things up. Could be a short in your heater too. But whatever the reason, it should not be that way. My cord has no overheating issues.

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. 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.

My unit has not over heated. If its really hot, I would think it is a defective unit.

Are you running it off the correct mains? Mine was doing this until I installed a transformer.

Let me see if I can help. First the "problem" has been addressed. Wahl was concerned with the power button to be deactivate of activate accidentally so a delay was put into the switch so when it is turned on it can not be turned off for 2 seconds and likewise when the unit needs to be turned off. It turns out an annoyance was created rather than fixed so that has been changed to not have a delay. If you push the on/off switch rapidly, it will not engage the electronic switch. As others have stated, Wahl offers a 5 year warranty and stands behind their product, so if you bought on Amazon, you have a record of your purchase and can get it fixed or replaced at no charge if it you discover an issue.

same thing happen to me, I got a new part for the heater it kept doing the same thing, so I just stop using it, because it will go out at night an you will wake up cold, I think it is a bad heater.

Make sure your contacts on the heater and breaker panel haven't loosened. We had the same issue with a pump and the neutral had become loose from the vibration.

It sounds like a broken wire somewhere between the plug and the heater. Or the heating element went bad.

It shouldn't take 6 hours. Mine heated up in about 5-10 min. The power button should light up as an indication that there's power to it. If all power sources checked out and it still doesn't work then you just got a defected one. Good luck.

the only time the heat setting is on is when you use the heat (red) disk. The heat disk has prongs that fit into the unit. The other attachments are just for vibration without heat. Those attachments just slip on. Have fun! Years ago, Wahl used to make a stronger, more powerful unit. This is still adequate and I would buy another in a heartbeat.

Hi, I have only had that happen when I use the unit for an hour of more. I reckon that the quality of the product varies, and your unit may be overheating more than normal.

Whenever using ANY power supply, there is always gonna be some warmth/heat coming from the unit regardless of whats connected to it. This is perfectly normal. Now if its HOT to the touch, that is not good. Replace immediately. Hope this helps. Be safe ....Chris.

Dear Michael, I am sorry to read that you are experiencing problems with this heater as well - it sounds like exactly the issue we had. Please avoid the mistake I made and do not spend thousands on attempts to fix it. Please read my review to get a sense of what we experienced and don't waste any more time and money on this product. By the way, the water heater I replaced it with is still going strong and I haven't had to think about hot water since I got rid of the Bosch. Best of luck!

It takes a lot of power so make sure you have a heavy enough electrical cord attached to it. The heating element could also be bad. Mine had a faulty temperature gauge that never got past 100 degrees, no matter how hot the temperature was so you could also check that using a different thermometer.

It shouldn't be over heating, but a cool down period is normal after a safety shutdown. I run mine for a solid hour, most times. Be sure you are grinding items recommended for the mill. If it is quickly overheating under normal operating conditions, you may have a defective unit.
