I have a 5ft Intertherm portable heater that is about 20 yrs old that wasn't used for a couple years, Here is the problem/question:
When in use it now makes strange noised and doesn't heat very well. It is a softheat sealed liquid(of some type) and is somewhat entertaining. It will make some very convincing sounds like a dripping fountain, rain running down a downspout, etc. however, it's not heating hardly at all. Is it shot and should be trashed or is it repairable. Thanks for any info. Geo
