When we were in Moab in march I noticed the wall above the baseboard heater on Cindy's side was HOT. I touched the top of the heater and almost burned my hand. I quickly turned the thermostat off and pulled off the cover. The elements looked ok but when I turned it back on parts were around 500 F! That probably was hot enough to cause a fire. THe one on my side was ok, so I disconnected the wires on hers. When we got home in May I bought 2 new ones from Home Depot ($35.00 each) and will replace both when we return in the fall.
I had previously cleaned the one in the bathroom and the front but hadn't cleaned these.
