I would suggest getting rid of it, if it got that hot, the integrity of the metal is now in question. You dont know the reason why this happened and it could happen again. Some of the issues with these are due to poor engineering and manufacturing. IF you want to attempt to figure it out, you need to get a meter that reads resistance and check the heating element resistance and divide the voltage by that number to get the amperage, then you can look and see what the wire rating is for the ampacity and check to see if it is in specification.

wrong fuel/oil mixture...try 25mls of oil per litre fuel.

i went all over town looking for a switch. finally found two lighted switches at grainger carling technology part no. 1A824. ground down the outsides glued both together jumped across top and bottom terminal with copper wire and it seems to work fine now.only time will tell. i hate our throw away society which the junk imported in from china seems to foster.

Sounds like heat element is defective drawing too much current. Make sure you are not using an extension cord on this heater, it has to be plugged directly into wall socket. Post model number on here so we know what unit we are dealing with.
