I've replaced all the female outlets so I don't have to worry about overloading them. The OEM "stab" units may be a bad idea when using a full blown 1500 watt heater. Consider running the heaters on the lower wattage settings--or replacing the female outlets.
What size was the cable supporting that outlet? 14 gauge is only good for 15 amps, you need the cable to be 12 gauge and breaker to be 20 amps, to run a 1500 watt heater on high.
