Someone threw away a Space Heater, and I snagged it.
Initially, the fan blade wouldn't turn.
I cleaned up the fan shaft, and used some WD 40, and it started working.
The problem now is that it heats good for a few minutes, then shuts off, even though the room is not warm yet. It does have a thermostat.
I have since cleaned the contactors on both the small thermal breaker (below the thermal fuse in the photo), and I cleaned between the contacts on the Tip Over / Temperature Adjuster.
Does anyone have any insights on what might cause it to shut off, beyond the items I've mentioned.
Everything inside looks fairly new, heater springs, etc.
Thanks,
Gary
