Is it normal that the entire heating coil does NOT glow red?

It should glow all the way I had bought one and it did only part way so I returned it so if yours is not burning all the way send back is defective

That is what it is supposed to do. You do not want it to glow red hot, That would make it a bit unsafe for a shop or any space you might be creating any sort of dust in. Start the unit up an hr. or so before going into the work space to warm it up. This is the best little shop heater I have ever used. Just give it some time

mine isn't covered in wax, if it is, it should be brushed away in hot water. u should not put it on the range with wax, it will light up!

Yes, was the same problem I had; the red glow is coming from the broken resistance. The replacement come not only with a new resistance coil but also with a new thermostat.

Does the red light on the bottom of tv still glow? That would indicate a tv or remote control problem.

Hey Josh,Mine does have a reddish indicator light when I plugged it in and set the temperature I wanted. Is yours not showing that??

Mine does not glow. It is hung up on my toolbox in lighted area. Didn't even know it was suppose to.

I don't know how to answer this question. We have not noticed this but we also haven't been around the heater throughout the night to notice it. Have you contacted Lasko's customer service? That would be my only suggestion.

No it does NOT glow red. The internal temp does not register above 84 degrees even if "preheated" for an hour. It "may" get up to 134 degrees if I have the smoke generator on as well but not any higher than that.

I don't think the machine is defective. I'm assuming that that illumination light that the manual refers to is simply the red light that comes on above the area where it says..."keep warm". That's the only light that I have that illuminates on the outside of the machine. There is also a light that comes on inside the machine when I lift the lid. It would be nice though and easier to see if the actual digital screen was backlit.

Yes. There is a well noticavle orange glow when in use. But the heater works great!

I've never noticed mine do that, but if I had to make an educated guess, it would be that your use of the flat iron is cooling it down to a temp lower than what you have it set at, turning the ready light red. If I am accurate, I would also assume it would very rapidly come back to temp and turn back to green. If it does not rapidly change back to green or is changing to red when you haven't used it, I would guess you have a defective product.

I would have to say the coils are evenly distributed. I do not notice any more than the other.

Yes, you are correct, there should be a light. There is a little red indicator light on the wand handle, but when the unit is on, the fluorescent tube will glow, just like any other fluorescent light. If you have no lights, your unit is not on or working.

It should glow immediately. If it's not then something is either wrong with the outlet or the item itself. :( We live in an old apartment and certain light switches need to be on in order for some of our outlets to work. If you're new to your home that could be the issue.

There are two heat settings: high and low. On high, all the coils on the cone shaped coil holder in the focus of the reflector will glow red. On low, only the outermost one half of the coils will glow. So you should have a choice.

I had mine plugged in for a few months - only using it occasionally - and one night when I wasn't using it, started flashing red in the middle of the night - it didn't turn the heat on while it did this. It didn't stop when I used the control so I unplugged it and replugged it in and it's been fine. Nothing in the manual about that. If it does it again I will call the manufacture.
