I just received the Eliminator EF1000watt fog machine and it says its heating up but the actual heating element is not heating up, it just sits there chronically cold even though the remote says its warming up, i do not see any loose wires any suggestions? oh and the manufacture isn't emailing me back it was working fine when i got it untill now, plz help this is very frustrating being that halloween is soon

Did you open up the machine and actually feel the heater element directly? I know the V960 I have when it heats up, does not feel hot at all anywhere around the case, even when blasting full on. It's only a 1100watt heater, but I actually thought it was going to get warm. Does your fog machine work at all.. I am guessing not after letting it heat up for 10 mins? Sounds like the heater is dead.

Hmm.. sounds like heater element. You got a Fry's, Guitar Center, Target, Walmart, etc near you? If so, they have 400/700/1000 watt machines there. Depending on it's use, you could rig a $10 motion detector to fire off fog on a manual remote button machine, or for a graveyard scene, you'll want to see if you can get the $10 timer remote.
