I have a prest heatdish.when i pull out the plug the plug is burning heat

It all depends on the how much dust has accumulated on inside of the dish.

Try to use the Swiffer first before mechanically altering any part. Slide the duster in through the grate, and move it around. Pull it out and repeat on the other area. You'll just have to do this around 3 times.
If heavy clean is necessary, then you might have to resort to bending the lip of the dish to separate the grate off from the dish.

IMPORTANT: make sure the unit is unplugged and cool down before attempting any of these cleaning methods.

No repair is economically viable now, sorry need a new one.

hi check the connetions on the heater plug and the cord replace if brunt then try it again ?

'tdulany's remedy for cleaning the dish on the Presto Heat Dish probably works well, but how do you get past the grill covering the dish in order to clean it?

your right this is a poor design and if we set back and think about this for a second? The coils burn at around 2800 degrees "red hot" so what exactly sticks to it at that temp? nothing what is really going on is that the tip switch inside gets hot and shorts out. I have posted a fix for this and am using my heatdish every year in winter and have "NEVER" had any further problems.check out my posts for solutions to fix the cleaning problem that is really a buzzer problem.

no repairs, however you do have a full year warranty. Just return it to Costco and they will exchange it for you.

I bought a Presto Heat Dish at Costco (Calgary) and not even a year later the control switch's filament burned out. can you send a replacement switch or provide me with a local supplier so I can return the defective unit and repair it myself?


Thanks!

Or try a thrift store for a used one. Do a search for "heat dish" without the quotes, and you will get a few hits. Amazon.com has a few of this type of heater.

It sounds like the heater is drawing more amps than your fuse is capable of handling. look at the i.d. plate and see what the wattage is for the appliance.

I rewired my heat dish. I UNPLUGGED THE HEAT DISH. I loosened the three screws on the back and removed them. Then I unclipped the dish at the bottom. The dish should be loose and the bottom section of the dish should be detached from the plastic casing. Look inside the casing at the bottom. There is a red cable attached to the buzzer (it’s the silver metallic piece). Detach the red cable from the buzzer. Now look directly behind the buzzer is a black wire that connects to the circuit next the buzzer. Attach the red cable to the female receptor foot the black cable. Plug it in and it should work fine. This will permantly disable the buzzer, SO YOUR HEATDISSH NOW LOINGER HAS A WARNING SYSYTEM. IF YOU TURN YOUR HEATER OVER THE BUZZER DOES NOT GO OFF, THE BUZZER ALSO INDICATES OVERHEATING OF THE UNIT. SO BE CAREFULL. MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED WHEN WORKING ON IT. GOOD LUCK AND BE SAFE

• My Presto Heatdish has noise time after time after turn on. How can I fix this problem? Thanks.
