I noticed the small electric heater we have cut out after an hour when using it plugged in and wouldn't turn back on even with a fully charged battery and shore power so we used the furnace instead. Why would it do that?
Was anyone or any thing (chair leg, etc) in front` of the heater when it cut off? Or did it tip over or tilt?
They have safety features, designed to prevent them from starting your rig on fire. Usually they shut off until you turn the heater off and on again (sometimes you have to wait a bit). Or you could try unplugging it. Some have a reset button. The worst ones, you had to open up the case to reset, but I don't think anyone is making them like that any more.
Or it could just be defective.
Yeah it seemed odd to me. Didn't tip over. Just shut of and wouldn't turn back on for some time. It works well at home and has never done that before. Only happened in the RV.
