Lasko 675900 Stanley® Heater Questions & Answers
Portable Heater keeps turning off
I just fixed my Stanley Lasko 675900
FOR GOOD and would like to tell the world how to fix it!
1. Remove the front plastic grill.
The bolts are torx heads with a center pin. You may be able to find a
torx head driver with the center pin but I improvised. I Used a
dremel tool with a small rounded diamond bit to grind the center pins
out of each screw so I can use a standard torx head driver on the
screws.
2. Remove the heating element. These should be Phillips
screws.
3. Blow out the dust from the back side of the heating
element. (be careful with the fragile fins)
4. put it all back
together and it should work just fine.
5. (optional at your own
risk!) I believe the small gadget attached to the top of the heating
element with the white wire is the limiter. You can use pliers to
slide the unit out of the element and either move the unit further
toward the center area, or cut the device out completely with wire
cutters and then splice it back together. If you do this REMEMBER TO
CLEAN THE BACK OF TH HEATING ELEMENT EVERY MONTH TO PREVENT A DUST
FIRE!
I hope this work for you and good luck!
My little heater keeps shutting off after a couple
The cleaning suggestion worked well. I cleaned mine with a blower nozzle on my air compressor. After blowing out all the dust and dirt from the front to the wind turbine out the sides. I saw a cloud of dust blow out of mine until it stopped blowing out dust. After that it seems to not be shutting off anymore. So Im thinking next time i won't take it apart just try using the compressor blower attachment again. Thinking ill get the same result. Also i changed the screws to a standard Philips head so disassembley in the future will be easier. Some of the torques screws had the stopper in the center of the screw that had to be drilled out. Must be a stopper for people that like to repair things themselves.
Stanley heater wont come on
Keith here. HI, every thing that produces heat today, and most transformers, are protected with a thermal fuse. They are rated in degrees Celsius with "*** C". Some are visible and appear as a metal can about 3/16 X 3/4 inch with leads out both ends, one with a ceramic cone around the lead. But some are hidden in white braided tubing. An ohm meter will easily ferret out an open one. It is important to always replace one with exact or slightly LOWER temp rating. Of course, they can't be soldered, and if the one you are replacing is riveted in place, I have used short chrome, high- temp **** splices. I lost track of all of them I have replaced for folks.
I am currently using a Lasko 5812 heater. The problem is it keeps shutting off, especially in the high setting. How do I fix this?
