I had a $20 space heater fail after about 4.5 yrs of use. It looks the
nichrome filament burned through near a crimp fastener (below is a pic).

Is there any cheap easy method of repairing this, without it winding up
burning down the house?

Thanks

Hi,
I'd just buy another one. Repair may work for a while but will fail again.
