20 Most Recent Lakewood 7101 Oil Filled Radiator Heater Questions & Answers

if thats the heater im thinking of it is a closed system, you do not refill.

Element is burned out or the thermostat is no longer working.

Wash it thoroughly, open the electrical boxes and wash them with pressurized water to wash away the silts. Dry it with a hair dryer set on low heat. Don't get the things too hot to melt anything. When dry, close the electrical compartments. Let the radiator sit for about 5 days. Putting it under the sun will help for the first day. Try it after 5 to 7 days. It usually works just fine.

I always list things like this as free, on craigslist.

Hi Joe. Typically the switch interrupts the hot wire, which is black. Therefore, two black wires are connected to the two screws on the switch. Look in the area where you see the one black wire and you should find a second black wire. Connect each of the to the switch and you will be switching [controlling] the hot [black] wire.

Your heater is sealed and never needs any more oil than already is there. In the unlikely event when the oil leaks out - replace the whole heater.

i would not do what you are stating you may have a dead short and create a fire hazard
