Repair it yourself

 The Rowenta Instant Comfort Fan Heater is a wonderful heater for the bathroom. It has a plastic cover over the buttons to keep it dry while you are taking a shower. But a few weeks ago it stoped for no reason after only about five minutes working.  At first I thought that it was some kind of security system which started when the air is too humid and I tried to start it up over and over but it did not work. The Rowenta Instant Comfort Aqua I could say that I was ready to buy a new fan heater for the bathroom for showers in winter need some heat for sure. But I though that I would give it a try to repair it so I decided to open it and use the vacuum cleaner to clean it. The heater has two Phillips screws and two torks screws in the back. The heater opened You can see all that dirt inside, so I cleaned as much as I could. And I put a special attention to the thermostat part, it was really dirty and dusty at that precise spot.

So I decided to loose the strings and lower the frets with 600 grits sand paper. Well I started with 600 grits paper sticked to a wooden box to make it flat, but the procedure was too slow, so I changed to 280 grits first. I went over and over the frets to remove material until I thought they would be more comfortable to play. But this is a delicate thing because if frets are too low or not well leveled then your guitar may sound buzzing or out of tune.
