This patton space heater is relatively new, within a year and hardly used. The on indicator light will go on, but the fan and heat will not. now I know this isn't the best solution, but sometimes it will work after we shake it a bit, almost like something is loose or stuck. thanks so much for any help!
These fans have a safey feature (sensor) that shuts the heater off if it is tipped over. It sounds like this component is not functioning correctly - may be set wrong and will not allow the heater to turn on unless you shake it to reset the sensor. If it is still under warranty return heater, if not call Patton and ask for help.
