Has there been a recall on this Patton PRH11 Electric Heater?

SOURCE: When the alarm on the Patton Electric Heater sounds, whay does one do to fix that?

I have the same irritating unit and there is not a solution beyond buying a different heater. The alarm is sounding because the heater's thermometer is hot and it thinks you are warm enough. You cannot tell it otherwise; all you can do is wait for the heater to think you are cold again, then it comes back on.

Either the air entering the heater is to cold and unable to satisfy the thermostat or the contacts inside the thermostat have “welded” together, or other faulty internal wiring which could keep the heater running indefinitely. Take it back to where ever you purchased it from or throw it away, that could be a fire hazard.

Hope this helps.

There is a round sensor under the heating elements which sets off the alarm when it thinks it is overheating on the PRH11. Unfortunately, a dirty sensor will fool it into reacting like it is overheated. I cleaned the sensor which was dark and revealed it to be a lighter goldish maybe brass in its original color. If your sensor is dark, it will continue to trip the alarm for overheating and will need to be replaced. If you were lucky like I was and can clean it, the problem should be resolved and it will operate like normal until it gets dirty again. This procedure lasted for 3 days and I had to clean it again. I believe I left the dirt on too long and now my sensor has tarnished plus I live in a rural area with significant dust requiring this recleaning every few days. I only used a damp paper towel with water to clean. Cleaning may work better with alcohol or a tarnish removal solution.

SOURCE: CAN THIS HEATER CAUSE AFIRE AND IS THIS HEATER ON

I do not know if this heater is on any product recall but we have used patton heaters for years and pretty much have had good luck with them. However there is a fire hazard present if you set or store combustibles to close to the front.Tip over switches don't always work and I would never recommend using a heater of this type in a unsupervised area.I hope this is of some help to you. Thank you and happy holidays.
