DuraFlame Heater Repair

- In this video we try to save a Dura Flame heater that has quit working. It worked for several years and the heater was a excellent heat source, but the temperature controls were never good at all. It would come on during the night while still set @ around 63F or 64F and the temperate in the room would be over 70F. It would be very inconsistent. I desire to save the heater and use it in the garage or shop. I will try to fix the heater if it is a simple issue, but I really want to add a separate T-Stat for control anyway since it never had good control. I really don't want any modified heater in the house so it would still work fine if needed for emergency use, but primarily will be used in the shop when I am out there working on a project. Hope you find the video helpful and thanks for watching.

If we could only be friends in real life. I could come over and you could explain in a way I could understand it while we work together to do the same to my heater. Lol Your very knowledgeable I love your videos even for someone like me who has absolutely zero education with anything electrical but who can grasp and somewhat understand what's going on. I find all your videos very enjoyable.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Merry Christmas!
Great video , when using high powered loads the long lead should be uncoiled as it will generate eddy current resulting in heat that will damage the cable and would also explain the drop in voltage
I think you are referring to the drop cord. Yes, it should be uncoiled for sure. I should have mentioned not to use one at all with heaters and it was simply to show the meter on camera. Thanks for your comment.
Appreciate your depth of knowledge that you are sharing, great stuff
Thanks Shane!
You know what burns better than a DuraFlame log? A branch of the Davidians... Could not resist.
Nice work! How's your HO insurance? LOL😆😆😆
I mentioned that I did not modify and don't recommend modified safety cut outs of course. I only changed the temperature ON/OFF control of course and I still will only use it in the shop! Thanks.
Man that was way too complicated. Next time just set a chair on fire.
Haha! Next video maybe....
