Possible Causes

Missing or displaced internal heat shield, Deteriorated insulation around heater, Blocked cooling airflow, Fan not running at full speed

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If surfaces are too hot to touch briefly, unplug and stop using until inspected.

Steps to reduce exterior temperature:

  • Check ventilation: Ensure adequate clearance around the unit and that vents are not blocked.
  • Inspect fan and ducts: Confirm the fan motor is running and that internal air channels are not blocked by grease or debris.
  • Open housing: Inspect internal heat shields and reflective panels around the heater. Refit any that have come loose or replace if missing.
  • Check insulation: Replace any burnt or missing insulation pads with high-temperature-rated equivalents.
