I was wondering if anyone has ever accessed the rear electric heater. My
coach is a 94 with a walk through bath. The electric heater is positioned
under the clothes closet on the drivers side. This closet has four drawers
below it and the heater is positioned below them. I'd like to get at it to
give it a good cleaning. Every time I turn it on it smells like burnt dust
for the first minute or so. I've pulled the drawers out and had a look
around but didn't see any obvious screws that would let me remove panels or
the draw frames. Any ideas?

Hi, If you have what is called a "toe-space" heater, designed to fit
under the toe space of a cabinet, it will have two screws on the
front that attach it to the wall or cabinet. The heater will slide
out and then the cover can be removed to gain access for cleaning.
Be sure to turn off the power prior to removing the heater, just
turning the thermostat down won't necessarily protect you from a
shock.

Thank you Rich I pulled it out as you and Fred directed and gave it a good
vacuuming. Quite a build up of dust bunnies. Works and smell much better.

Rob:
It is not necessary to remove any drawers, etc.. The heater is
held in position by a couple of screws. You might have to remove the
face plate first. It's been a couple years since I pulled mine.

Yup Ron you're right. Two screws and it was out. By the looks of it mine
hadn't been cleaned in years. Easy job to do now that I know how it's done.

Since we are discussing that heater, I thought that I'd go out and test
ours. The fan runs just fine once the thermostat is turned up, but there
doesn't
seem to be any heat coming out.
Is there a fuse or switch that I might be overlooking?
How about a source for a replacement heating element, if that turns out to
be the problem?
Thanks!

John, you might have to pull that heater out and take the cover off it. It
has a long cord so it's easy to wrk n.
