If anyone can gudie me to a group where I can post a question on
Holmes 1 Touch portable heater, I'd appreciate it. I need to post a
question on the item I have (see pic below).

You can ask it here. Not a bad looking heater, the same power as most space
heaters, but with a small fan and small size. If price is a concern, you
can find heaters with the same output for half that price. They may or may
not fit your needs.
I got it for $25 at Walmart 3 years ago. Until recently, I didn't use
it much - I used to only to take the chill out of the bed sheet for
like a VERY short period in winter. I just sleep w/o heater, using
many layers of blankets with one being handquilted wool.
But recently, I got creative and got silly I migth add. I placed the
unit under the sheet next to me under to give an enclosed environment
cus my bedroom is really big, actully, because the room connects to
the area where there are closets and basins, preventing em to use any
heater ffectively.
(I have recently sealed that connection by putting a styrofaom at
night so that I can use oil-filled radiant heater and have the room
not cold when I get out of bed in the morning. Also, by keeping the
bedroom to the hallway closed and using oil-filled radiant heater, I
find that the central heater (via the thermostat from downstairs) can
warm the hallway area of upstairs better. This hallway is open to
downstairs since the upstairs of the house not for the whole house. I
don't know the right words to explain. )
Anyway, I was abusive of this small heater, not waiting for 10 mins
before trying to start again when it stops partly because I didn't
remember about the tiny print on the back that says to wait for 10
mins when ti stops. (I just saw it when broguth next to my PC for no
apparent reason.)
So it stopped working altogether and I wonder whether it's just the
wire blowing up. I have a family friend, like a brother, an
Electrical Engineer, who will be visiting me in a week or two. I am
thinking to ask him to take a look if it is just the wire. This unit
has some sort of sensor, right? Could that be that sensor?
I don't want to bother him if it is the sensor that got damaged
instead.
You need an electric blanket.
I thought about it but I don't have much problem with my bed setup. I
don't like much heat when I sleep.
Or to convert your bed to a canopy bed and bolt the heater to the headboard.
My suspicion is that there's a fusible ling somewhere in the thing, and it
melted, but it's also possible that the heating element broke.
Good to know what can go wrong inside.
No way to tell without opening it up and testing for continuity.
That's what I thought if the issue was was indeed the heater.
