Disassembling a Vornado Heater

Vornado makes whole room heaters and personal heaters, both which run on your home’s electricity. Unlike some other room heaters, Vornado heaters have a fan to circulate the warm air around your room as they run. If your Vornado heater is malfunctioning and the warranty is expired, you can take it apart to find out what’s wrong. Because the heaters are small and relatively simple, they aren’t difficult to dismantle.
