Heater part

[g_man1146]

Morey,

The Cadet heaters in my '99 LXi were recalled in 2000 because they had a
overheat shutoff that had a reset button on the front. The new ones have this
thermal safety reset on the inside. It seems that people were resetting the
thermal cut off device without cleaning the dust out of the inside which, in
most all cases, was the cause of the cut off activating in the first place. The
new position forces you to open the heater to reset it and their thinking is; as
long as you have to open it to reset it, you will clean it at the same time.
Other than the position of the thermal protection device, they were identical so
I saved the old ones for more parts that I never needed!

I believe that you will find a different type of thermal cutoff in your new
heater. I don't believe Cadet makes a built in toe space heater without such a
device.

new heater came, it doesn't have this overtemp snap disk any more, just a wire
running along where the disk was.
