I ordered mine in November. only used the low setting most of the time. Low setting stopped heating so I switched to high. Now both not working. My husband said fuse was ok. Has anyone had this issue? any ideas what is wrong? The light still comes on...

Same thing happened to both of mine, in two different cars. Both do not work anymore, after about 1 1/2 months of use. How do I return them and get a refund ?

I had the same experience. It operated great for a couple of weeks. Then one day I noticed it was on in total day light. It eventually went out and operated fine that night. A couple of days later it just stopped operating completely. I just returned it for a refund. It's a great light, just what I wanted, and worked fine then just quit. Go figure????

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

You can try and replace the fuse, the little glass tube. Same thing happened to ours. Hope that helps

You are lucky ... mine lasted less than six months. Apparently the fuse needed replacing but I would have to send the whole thing back to the factory. I decided the $170 was a sunk cost and just threw it out. Never liked the fact that it had no on-off button nor temperature control nor removable liner, making it very difficult to lift and move. I now use a crock pot and it has all those things and only cost $20.00

I had mine up for about a month before it started to flicker and dim. I put up with it working sometimes and finally went to lowes and bought one that works all the time.

Have you checked all the connections to make sure they are tight? My husband loves his light and luckily no problems. If we had a problem we couldn't fix would have a lighting shop check it out, since we like it so much. Sorry I can't help.

Did you turn it up on high? Mine had to be run on high for a few minutes and then could turn it down. I never really liked how it worked but waited too long to decide to return it and didn't. Hope you have better luck!

You are correct. I have had mine and it did the same thing. Pushing the reset and timer button and the light went out. I cant find my manual. Thank You!

Call Amazon, I had the same problem with two of the four lamps that I have ordered over the past few months. I e They were great and replace the two, and I asked for a discount on the other two and kept them just for nite light, and they still are only warm. I am happy with amazons customer service , the two that they replaced are still not as warm as the first one I bought, so it must be just the luck of the draw. they look great, and they do seem to help with odors. in my mind I feel that they are doing me some good, so what else matters. Good luck with your lamps.

I have never repaired one of these but basically there is going to be a thermal fuse in series with the heating element. Odds are that fuse has activated by open circuit /defect. It's a common problem with devices operating near the fuse threshold. You would take it out, read the rating marked on the side of it, order a replacement on an electronics supplier website like Digikey, then put a new one in. It needs to be brass crimped on due to the heat, not soldered.

The bulbs in mine quit working fairly reg. I sent a set back because the light went out within a week, they really need to improve the setup...The last few times the bulb quit I was able to get it working again by clearing the contact points (screw heads ) where the top connects to the bottom. I loosened the small Phillip's screws and retightened them on the wire then I used a tooth pick in the bulb holder to bend the contact points away from the side so it would contact the bulb. So far this has fixed mine the last 3 times they quit. As far as a bulb the only thing I found that MIGHT work is they sell a replacement lcd bulb for the old 3v MINI- MAG flashlights I found one a Lowes $5 for (2) but I haven't tried one yet..It is nice to have the Lights working I hope Hobbs fixes the poor workmanship of the lights I really like the salt & pepper set.

Hello, I just received my unit. I plugged it in and the Power Light was flashing red AND the blue UV-C light was flashing. Resetting the unit by pushing and holding in the UV-C Button changed the power light to green but the UV-C light is still flashing. Any suggestions? Possibly the bulb was damaged in transit and needs replaced? Thanks for any help!

did you ever get your steamer to work. I have to keep hitting the reset button. It only last a couple of minutes and the steam quits again. Someone said I may need a new thermostat. Just wondering if you found a fix or tossed it!

You may mean the temperature fuse. I bought one from Radio Shack for about $2. But buy one with temperature setting slightly higher than the one installed in the cooker. Please check other people's posts on this issue. I changed one by myself for about 10 minutes. It worked without any problems for more than one year now.

I have not noticed that problem. I still seem to be getting about 6-8 months with mine. I have 7 watt bulbs in 12 volt system, but am running several LED fixtures on this line, so I'm using less than a third of the capacity of the unit. Perhaps you're overloaded? Check the wattage of the bulbs you're running and see if you've got too much wattage overall. I also had a problem when I initially installed it where several bulbs blew. but it turned out to be one of the fixtures I just added. When I removed the fixture, all returned to normal. Must have had a short in it.

I had an issue with the switch mechanism. When hooked directly to the battery, life is good. But when their switch is put inline, it doesn't. I replaced the fuse to no avail. I think got out my ohm meter and checked the fuse and the switch. The switch turned out to be bad. I'm now left with either returning the whole thing or just rigging up a toggle switch that I can buy at Home Depot.
