Why am i watching this shit?

(cont.) I figured that should be the culprit, so I wired up an extention between the two and wrapped them up nicely and neatly as to not create any such shorts from accidental contact, put it back together and she's been running smoothly without interuption. I'll be keeping a close eye on her though.
Thanks again for your response.

@Maxxarcade Thanks for your quick response. I thought that the thermal cutout sounded like the most plausible explanation, so I opened it up and looked around a bit and noticed the device located on the back of the coil housing. (cont.)

You aren't weird. You my friend suffer from the obsession all men and women suffer from it. Men are usualy atracted to complicated techno stufs like your heating thing while women are atracted to beautiful things like dresses.

@coolbluelights same, i always drew engines, motors, speakers, stereos, plugs, cords, carpet cleaning equipment, vacuum cleaners, heaters, fans, fuse boxes, wiring.....etc.....I was a weird kid as well, good to know i wasnt the only one
Very nice old heater. It'll far outlast the garbage made today!
Weird?
I have 13 vintage Maytag washer/dryers displayed in my living room along with 6 vintage fans scattered throughout the house. You, my friend, are normal ;o)

@brthdan Haha, that's pretty cool. I like old belt drive washers myself, and some day I might get an old Kenmore.

You seem to know a good bit about these heaters... I have a newer model lakewood that has a thermostat switch or something that has it shutting off and on in 1 minute intervals. Is there a way to bypass this device so that it operates non-stop?

@BlackWhiskeyBlaze Usually that problem is one of two things- Either the air vents are restricted, or one of the connectors on the thermal cutout is loose and getting hot. Though if the heater has an electronic control, it could be something wrong with that.

what does something like this cost?

Cheap or free, if you can find one. Ebay has some that are similar from time to time.
