Seems to be missing a plug ;)

I wonder if the condensation reduces their lifespan? Lucky mine has lasted a while, as they seem to have gone up dramatically in price in the last couple of years.
 
Had the same one in the fermenting fridge for last 10 years (insert kiss of death now I've said that!)
like Yeastface said maybe condensation/moisture ingress?
How do you control the heater?
 
I’ve had mine without any problems for many years now!
athumb..

Maybe Dimplex have lowered their standards since I bought mine in about 2016?
:hat:

I've just bought one off of amazon for £21.99 with an IP55 rating, the other one was an IPx4 rating
