The continuous clicking sound you're experiencing when turning on your Optimus H-7328 heater could indicate a problem with the device. There are a few possible reasons for this issue:
1. Faulty Thermostat: The thermostat controls the heater's temperature settings. If it is malfunctioning, it may cause the heater to click repeatedly as it tries to regulate the temperature. In this case, you may need to have the thermostat repaired or replaced.
2. Loose Internal Components: Over time, the internal components of the heater can become loose due to regular use or transportation. Loose components, such as fan blades or heating elements, can create clicking or rattling sounds when the heater is turned on. You might need to open up the heater and tighten any loose parts, or have a professional examine and repair it.
3. Defective Fan Motor: If the clicking sound is accompanied by a malfunctioning fan or if the heater has a fan-forced operation, it's possible that the fan motor is faulty. The clicking noise may indicate that the fan motor is struggling to start or is hitting against something inside the unit. Repair or replacement of the fan motor might be necessary.
4. Electrical Issues: Clicking sounds can also be caused by electrical problems within the heater. Loose or damaged wiring can create intermittent connections, leading to clicking sounds when the heater is turned on. It's important to exercise caution with electrical issues and consult a professional or contact the manufacturer for assistance.
To accurately diagnose the specific cause of the clicking sound and determine the appropriate solution, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer's customer support or consult a professional technician who specializes in heater repairs. They will be able to provide more specific guidance based on the make and model of your Optimus H-7328 heater.

Is there a cut out safety switch on the base. Make sure where it is sitting has the switch fully depressed. It is there to switch off the heater off if it tips over.
It can't be much more than a cord, heating element, thermostat and perhaps a safety thermal fuse. If you're handy with a multimeter, put it on the OHMS setting. With the thermostat set all the way on HIGH, you should find each of the elements to be a dead short (near 0 Ohms). That would include the thermostat, the heating element and any other safety devices you find in the wiring. If any of those don't read a dead short, that's your bad actor.
According to the user manual the unit will automatically turn off when it is within 2 degrees of the temperature it is set at.
It's internal timer settings range from 1/2 hour to 8 hours.
