Any electrical gurus that can tell me why my heater almost burned the house down on Saturday?
My wife smelled electrical burning through the wall so I rushed home and shut everything in the garage down and aired it out. When I started flicking stuff back on it was obviously my heater.
You can see some of the clips started turning black on the adjustment dial on the bottom left of the pic but the main part that started to melt was a connection to the motor by the black spot.
The heater is a 5000W 240V one from Menards. This would be the third winter it has seen daily use. It did run for a couple weeks this year before this.
