So I have bought two MES 30" 20070910 from Amazon.
1st one was ordered through Amazon warehouse for 173. When I opened it up, i noticed the top plastic part of the hinge was broken. I unwrapped everything and plugged it into a 14 GA extension cord and tried to season it. Waited 30 mins, the temp inside the MES went from 60 to 50 degrees. I changed the outlet and tried again. Waiting an hour, no temperature changed. Unplugged the extension cord, took the MES into my house, plugged it directly into the wall and try to run the unit, waited a hour, not change in temp. Returned the unit to Amazon, told them it was defective.
2nd one was ordered though amazon directly, brand new for $179. When I opened it up, I notice the plastic on the right front leg was broken. Unpacked everything.... plugged it into a 14 GA extension cord and tried to season it. Waited 30 mins, the temp inside the MES went from 62 to 56 degrees. I changed the outlet and tried again. Waiting an hour, no temperature changed. Unplugged the extension cord, took the MES into my house, plugged it directly into the wall and try to run the unit, waited a hour, not change in temp.
I have to contact Amazon again for another return. Does the MES have heating element problems on arrival? Any other ways to troubleshoot? I have also tried different outlets in the house....I just don't believe that both the units have dead heating elements....
Tempted to pick one up from lowes for $149....any difference between the 20070910 or the 20070511 models?
