Lakewood space heater thermostat source

The thermostat has failed. It is closed circuit all the time.

It all depends how cold you are .Start with low, turn it up if still cold.

When you turn them on from cold you can hear about 5 minutes of snap, crackle, pop until the oil comes up to temperature. After that this unit throws out a good amount of heat on the 900 watt and 1500 watt settings.

Hi,

Check out this tip that I wrote about space heater problems..

DeLonghi Space Heater does not Heat

No, the oil does not break down over the years of service. These units are made and sealed from the factory. The purpose is to make a unit that does not require repairs and will run for years. It appears that the TSTAT is not sending proper amperage through. My suggestion is to replace the unit as it costs more to repair then to replace.
Sorry for the bad news, but these units are just not meant for service, hence the price.

It seems that Lakewood has filed Chapter 7 Liquidation and it's unlikely you'll find parts for it.

The manufacturer Selco makes numerous thermostats and are distrubuted by Allied Electrical. I have been in contact with both companies to get information about replacing my KSD31 16/125~ 160 thermostat. I can't find the exact one. I am trying to find out if a similar but not exact one can be substituted.

Depending on handy you are, the power cords for heaters can be replaced, but may require soldering or other electrical and mechanical skills. You MUST replace the cord with one that has the same amperage and heat ratings.....that goes for the plug too.
