Congratulations on your ingenuity! Yeah, it doesn’t make much sense to spend that much to send it in for warranty repairs and then probably not get it back until some time in June ;)

Alls well that ends we though and we’re glad you have a functioning heater again. Congratulations on your ingenuity!

Looks like that little ceramic disc had a metal sleeve which had come away from the body of the heater. Rotating the disc and ensuring it fully contacts the heater body made the heater work again. Seems like a faulty weld. I think the two ceramic discs provide the electrical resistance that transfers the heat into the radiator which then distributes it to the oil but I really just guessing. Looked into the warranty which is 5 years but I think they wanted $15 shipping cost and me to ship the defective unit back to them which I imagine would be at least another $15. So $30 to use the warranty plus all the paper work when a new unit costs about $80 doesn't seem like a great deal. Anyway looks like I've got a functioning unit again. Thanks for the advice.

Unfortunately, It is a little bit difficult to understand your exact problem from the description you gave but, it always best to have any appliance serviced by a qualfied tachnician who has the right tools and training. You are going to almost certainly have a difficult time filing any kind of warranty claim without the original purchase paperwork. The Honeywell oil filled radiator heater is a good unit but if yours has met its demise after a couple of years your best bet may be to take a few days to look around and see what is available on the electric oil filled radiator heater market and uprade. Good luck with your space heater search and stay warm tis winter :) Mike – Sorry to hear about your issues with your Honeywell radiator heator.

It stopped working. I took the front cover off - had to use a flat bit to get around the star with a male project screws and one of the connection covers to a little white ceramic disc was all black. I imagine that this is the faulty component, it is fairly easy to find a replacement or should I just buy a new heater. It is somewhat new - 2 years - I'd have a hell of a time finding the manual and receipt though. Also the ceramic disc was somewhat glued in place with some white substance - kind of looks like toothpaste. Thank you for any advice.
