Thi sis more of a notice*** I just got a recall notice regarding all Marineland Stealth Heaters. You can return them to your local petco or petsmart for a refund or replacement, regardless if you still have the receipt. I have 5 of the heaters and recently had trouble with two of them. The temperature dropped in one of my tanks and I had to crank them all the way up, and they still would not heat up. I had to unplug them to reset them.

If you exchange them at the store, I recommend calling ahead to make sure they have enough adequate replacements, if your going to swap them out in the same day.

Has anyone else had trouble with these heaters? Below is the notice I got from Big Al's

4.7L 4x4 - after the vehicle has been sitting for a few hours, it will not even try to start on the First turn of the key. The dash lights and Radio play, but it won't make any other sound. No turn-over, no clicking, no nothing. The Second try.. she'll fire right-up with no problem. I imagine this is a sign of things to come.

The battery is under 2 years old, original starter. I'm having them both tested soon.

Has anyone experienced this and know a quick & easy resolve?

Or do I have to work my way through the process of elimination???
