Granny's gone and done it again

no, bought it at a yard sale for $10.00 best it will do is 90.

if the heat plate is getting hot wouldnt it have to be the thermostate ? It never kicked off though. so confused . Figured gutting it would be the best thing. IDK

I'm surprised it works at all wired 220 but plugged 110
Be interesting to see what a manual says

maybe why it wont get hot enough ? Thats right isnt it , If its marked 230.240 volts it shouldnt have a 110 plug ?

Quote: I'm certainly no electrician, but if it's truly set up for 220 I'd put a 220 plug on it & go from there.
I'm thinking the thermostat is probably fine, but isn't shutting off because the low voltage isn't allowing it to work properly....idk
If y'all can't get it figured out when they visit you, get hold of @ChickenCanoe at Sally's house; he's good!

Quote: Low voltage would, I think, cause it to not be getting hot enough
I'd think 220 would melt a 110 plug.
Again, I'm not well-versed in electricity, 'specially AC, so talk to someone who knows what they're doing before you get hurt.

Granny I have to agree with Whites on this one. If it is truly 220 you don't want to be messing with it until you can get more info on it. Other than coming up with the model 150 info I've struck out. Sorry was really hoping I could find some info on it. I've gotta get dinner started so will talk later

No offense taken! It's very "rustic." I'll have to pull up more pics later. I'm trying to fundraise and it just makes me so tired. I end up stress shopping.

can I help in any way?
