I would think the contacts are burning out on the line voltage thermostats. The contact areas have been reduced over the years so they last just past the warranty period. If it were mine, I'd locate a line voltage baseboard heater thermostat and adapt the control to operate the heater elements. Much higher amp rating and built more substantially.

Have a look on ebay for cheap converters:

if you need 110V US to 220V UK (6.99):

disconnect the wires to check for 220v to the therm. same for the elements disconnect the wires to check continuity that the elements arnt shot. make sure reset is pushed in on upper element

These heaters all have safety devises in them some for tip over and all for over heating. Your problem sounds as if it has a bad over heating sensor. These will have two wires one in one out, it is usually a positive wire. When they sense that the heater is to hot it shuts it down upon cooling it allows the heater to turn back on. The tip switch does the same if upright it turns on if tipped it turns it off. They are mechanical and thermal switches and they do go bad. These can be jumped out to trouble shoot the problem but I would not run it with out these safety devices in it.

timer pt # 68233-2 tell it when to defrost and the terminator lets it defrost and the heaters do the defrost . so I would repl the defrost thermo next and then the timer in that order . hope this hepled mm

on "high" these can draw as much as 1800 watts (or 15 amps.

If there are many other loads on the same circuit, the breaker is likely to trip.

This heater was the determined cause of my total loss house fire. I thought the company would atleast help me find some where else to live, they seem to care. But, as of lately they are doing nothing.
I am told this heater-(prh11- 2008 model- purchased at walmart for about $27.00)
- Had wiring that wasn't up to standards
-1/10,000 units cause fires
-something wrong with the heating element-stops working
- wouldn't stand level
-heating coils
-fires like mine have happened to a few other people
