I'm pretty sure that my bedroom toe kick heater is in need of replacement. I turn it on, the element turns on but the fan did not.

Is there a good source for these? I'm just guessing but it seems around 1500 watts and measures 12-14 inches wide and 5-6 inchs tall.

I might take it apart and oil the bushings first.

Try WW Grainger. I replaced one on my previous coach with one from them.

Ours are Dayton. I must confess ours also do that after trying them for the first time each season but physically spinning the squirrel cage and some vacuuming has prolonged the inevitable.

You might want to check them all by running them with the registers off. I have noticed that 1 or 2 of the 5 elements on each were burned out on some hindering warm toes.

Dale I am waiting for a Squirrel Cage and Motor to arrive today or tomorrow, UPS. My bearings were shot, and it made a lot of noice when you tried to turn it on, so I ordered a new unit.

My unit was a Marley S1100A Electric Toe Space Heater. this isn't the site I used initially, but it has the same products.

I got my part from Carroll Parts 800-654-3545.
P.N. Y1225-2002-000 $61.25

Good Luck.

I went out and turned the fan by hand to get it started and it's working for now. There was some carpet fibers in and aroung the fan.

It is made by Cadet manufacturing inc. Model ZA 101 made in 1986. It looks like they have a cross for it, being the RM151, heater only or RMC151W complete.

Thanks Mike,

We are in a cold snap right now. We dodged the snow but it's cold. We keep an old, old kitchen wood and coal burning stove burning during the day. The hardest part is going out and getting wood.

And I'll bet Jan hates like H*** when you make her go out and get the fire wood? :D

By the way we will have a High of 79 degrees today. :p
