Usually No. They are built as a sealed unit and should be replaced if they are leaking.

SOURCE: lakewood 7096 heater

Some of the newer models have a thermal fuse which may be blown. It doesn't look like a normal fuse at all. It is similar to a transistor in looks and should have continuity from one end to the other. It will be tied in to the incoming power cord inside the heater, and may be covered with rubber coating within the wire. It will look different when you notice it. Sometimes its too far down inside where the heat causes it to blow prematurely. The purpose is to cut the power to the unit in case it overheats. You can get one at radio shack for less than a couple of bucks. The older models don't normally have one, but I would suggest you put one in it if that's the case.

How do you refill the oil?

Did it leak out? Most oil-filled heaters are sealed and not intended to be refilled.

Troubleshooting lakewood fan model hv 18

This one the best brands on the market that I have ever owned.
If the fan motor will not turn on or hums and/or turns slowly more than likely its a lubrication problem.

1. Unplug the fan from the wall remove the 516 screws to the cage

2. Try turning the fan blade by hand if it is tough to turn more than likely it's a lubrication problem

3. You will have two oil holes one in the front one in the back spray WD-40 into these holes, turn the fan blade if it starts to free it up apply more WD-40 and keep turning the blade add more WD-40 until the blade turns freely. Especially in the rear oil hole because this is an oiled bushing that you are adding oil to. Once the fan is turning freely replace the front cage with all the screws plug the fan and I hope this solves your problem. You may add 3 in 1 oil or some other very light lubricating oil periodically.

I hope this solves your problem Mike

I have the 750 and the caution light always stays on and unit is no longer producing heat.....

This is a limit switch problem. You need to replace the limit switch. It may even be a resetable one. If it is, then you can just simply push the bottom on the back of it and it will reset. If its not then you will have to replace the Tstat.

Do you ever have to add oil if so where is the fill cap

Hi,
Those units are sealed, this traps the oil inside and provides a maintenance free heating system.
There is no need to and therefore no provision made to add oil to the heater.

I have a Lakewood Model 750 Strip Heater and the caution light is lit. How do I get the unit working again.

chances are the thermostat has been damaged due to excessive heat or corrosion has accumulated on the connections coming from the temperature dial. it is possible to bypass this component but not advisable, if you choose to do so, please monitor the heater at all times and be sure to unplug it while not in use. replacement parts are still available.
do not attempt to service the heater while it is plugged in to an electrical outlet.

Where do you refill the oil at

Oil heaters are not meant to be refilled. The oil is inside the heater already. If you need to add oil, the heater is defective. Do not use it.
