I took it apart to find out that the fan was ok, but the wiring wasn't secured in any way and it was actually being hit by the fan. Would have been a matter of time had it been left running before the wires insulation whittled down and exposed the wires causing a short and possible spark/fire.
On top of that, the little red button on the face was broken off.
As far as heating, it was good.

If you are looking for heat..this is the heater you want. Yes, it makes some noise, but nothing more than a large fan. It has a sensor on it, and anything that moves or topples the heater, will cause it to turn off.I have had this heater from my dorm room to my large apt bed room (4 years) and its doing great, keeping me warm and the heating bills down.
Cons: Can be noisy..(expected considering how much heat it puts out and how large of an area it can cover)
Pros: AWESOME HEAT (even in large areas)

This heater is worthless. I have it on all day at the hightest setting about 6 inches from my legs and it still can't keep me warm. The problem is it runs for about 30 seconds to 2 minutes then it turns off. Waits about 3 minutes then it turns on again. Same pattern all day. I'm buying another and tossing this in the recycle. I wouldn't give this to my worst enemy.Spend your money elsewhere, but definitely not on this piece of crap.
Honest reviews on Lakewood 205 1320 Watt Fan Forced Radiant Heater
OK This heater was GREAT when it worked and was perfect for the bathroom when someone is getting ready on those cold mornings. I didn't find it to be very noisy at all. Not sure what that's about in the other review; just a slight hum for what you would expect a heater like this to make due to the small fan. At any rate, that's really all it was used for JUST the bathroom. I put it away in the closet out of reach and this fall just put it back in its spot in the bathroom and now guess what happens? You turn it on, it stays on for 30 seconds, turns off for two good minutes, then turns back on for 30 seconds. The thermostat must be bad. What a bummer!I remember growing up in the 80s and my grandma had a similar heater to this in her bathroom. The thing worked for decades.
Oh well off to buy another heater and add some more to the landfill!
Thanks Lakewood : D
