Thanks, will give this a try… bought ours just 5 months ago and started tripping breakers just a few days ago…
My pleasure, firefighternuge. These heaters are very disappointing. Good luck with your repair.
Excellent video. I just bought a new one of these. Would silicone caulk work to seal the cord?
Thanks for your kind comment, Mark. My experience with silicone has been that it tends to break loose and peel off after a while. In a harsh environment like this, I don't think it would last nearly as long as JB Weld. Thanks for stopping by.
@@Fixitforgetit Heading to the hardware store for some JB Weld!
My pleasure, Mark. Good luck with your repair.
