I bought one that had this problem over a year ago. The seller (John Royer) wasn't interested in helping even though it was supposed to be working. Didn't even answer my emails. I ended up opening it up and found a device on the outer PCB not plugged into both its sockets (I presume this is the thermal fuse others were talking about). I nice gentleman opened his up and sent me a photo so I could see how it plugged in (I didn't know what it was or if polarity was important).
Worked like a dream ever since.
