I'm not doubting that the fan heaters died, I had one stop heating but that was after a while of using it, but for them to go a start a fire is a bit out of the way, if you cover them then yes I can see a fire starting and yes they can stop working. I don't get the car metaphor? Please inform me where I said this??? I would like to know where your mind read this bit from??? So in one breathe you say fan heaters are dangerous but the heating pads are not as they are only 14 watts!!!They are restricting the current, hence the moment it shorts it increasing and so does the heat. That is the reason why you attached a thermostat, fires has started due to heating matts and heating cables that I know for a fact. But this is for SA, not sure if it will happen so easy in the states as they only have 110v where have 220v power unless this has changed?</blockquote>
