Sounds like a bad temperature control switch. If it looks like it can be replaced, check with Johnstone or Grainger Supply company to match it up. Google it for their websites.
about the only way I can figure is to let the room get very cool and adjust the thermostat to its lowest setting. now turn on the unit. monitor the heat until the stat just opens. the thermostat bimetal will be closed and will open when the bimetal expands and opens its contacts. another way is to hitch up a chart recorder to measure temperature with its output connected to the heater. [too expensive for you or the DIY to accomplish]

Hi, what you may want to do, since the plastic is stripped on the dial, that is on the metal post, is buy you a package of JB weld. A 2-part epoxy that works great for these types of repairs. You can get it at a hardware store or auto parts store. Drying time depends on the package you get, they have a fast dry, and a 4 to 6 hour set up time. This epoxy is awesome and will do the job. I have looked online for something that would replace this control knob, but can't find anything, so I came up with this. It will do the job and is user friendly. Just center the shaft or better yet, turn it all the way off. Apply the epoxy to the shaft, and place the round plastic knob on the shaft to the off position. You will be ready to go. Please let me know how this goes for you, and I know by the time you pick this up, mix it, and put it on, you will be way ahead of solving this problem.
Sincerely,
