Cleaning the blower wheel with a toothbrush will help but it is still normal for the element to glow red.
You can remove the heater assembly and patch the hole by screwing a piece of metal over it or replacing the housing with a better one [ we have lots of good used ones around ]. You can also use it as is, Foil tape would not work as it gets too hot for the adhesive. John L. |
