SOURCE: Electric heat thermostat wire melted

The cause is a loose wire nut which creates arcing. This is a very common problem and the cause of many fires -- it's a result of low quality work.

This may be the smell of Varnish used in motor winding. When we turn on the machine it gets heated a little bit resulting in a burning electrical smell.

I have a Honeywell Oil filled heater, HZ 680 series. When both switches are turned on, they light up but there is no heat. Also, a funny smell then the switches automatically turn off. Is there anything...

These heaters last about three years,and are throw aways,unless you have some in the ole shed like I do.Checking the switches is the first thing to do,remove them to see if they are burned up on the other side where the connection is.If they are,that could be the smell,or the thermostat is melted down,and smelling,again,throw away,,or save it,and buy a new one,and you will have parts for when it goes out,if the switches are melted down,a compatible switch,if found,can be replaced in the heater,but something made the switches melt down,most likely a heating element in the tanks,non replacable.

Light doesn't turn on, nor does it heat up once I turn it on. First time I used it this winter it worked but smelled like it was burning and then stopped working?

sounds like it faulted and burned out some wiring i wouldn't use i would get it looked at to make sure all ok as it may now be elecrically dangerous, if that burning smell, smelt like rubber i'd say definatly electrical but without seening it to hard to say

Have 2 compact flourescents in the bathroom vanity. was in the tub and heard a strange sound.(like air in the faucet) for a few seconds, then the strong smell of electrical burning for several minutes....

Hello,
The problem is probably in the wiring behind the bulbs. If I were you I would not use those lights until you can get an electrictrian in there to pull the vanity lights out and check the wiring.

Electrical burning smell in house

Mhenn, It is my guess that the 'electrical burning' smell is from your heating system. Since there is no smoke and the walls are not warm.... then there is no real problem. The smell maybe just dust has collected in the duct work that is burning off the central heating systems electrical heat strips. If you have electrical heat strips then that may be the problem. If you have a central gas heat system, it may be the same type problem. Hope this helps you. Henry

Model 5700/7 Radiator heater won't work

May be safer to return the heater if it is new. You would not want to risk a short and/or electrical fire.
