[Pete Masterson]

Note that some models of the toe-kick heater were recalled. You may simply want to replace it.

This is the actual heater:

As far as I know there is a thermal overload type switch on the electric heaters that will shut down the electric heat element and activate the orange indicator light if the heater gets to hot. I would turn off the applicable circuit breaker, pull the heater out, remove the cover and clean the heater by and vacuming and or blowingit out. Alsolook for anything unusual and inspect the wiring connections. You also need to make sure you are getting adequate air flow from the blower on the heater and that nothing is restricting the air flow, you could compare the blower performance to the other electric heater in your coach.

Good Luck

the wife commented that the toe heater in the bath/hallway was cycling on/off for short periods. i checked it out, and, for the 1st time, i noticed that the orange lite on the front of the heater is lit when the heater isn't blowing, and is off when it is blowing. thinking that the thermostat was set too low i turned it up to the max and it still cycles on/off for short periods. i.e. 10 or so seconds per cycle. it's the original heater. anybody?
