After 6 months use the fan motor seized. I took off the front grill and lubed the shaft with light silicone oil. The fan motor worked for a few days, then the motor quit again. The heating element works fine, but with no airflow over the element, I think the element would ignite the motor/case. This was not a very good heater when it worked. It would heat a whole room, if the room is very small. IMO JUNK.
