This morning, my ceramic heater didn't go on with the light switch, as usual.

This has happened before so I set it aside, thinking an internal overheat switch had tripped. The replacement infrared heated everything up just fine.

A week went by, but my ceramic heater still wasn't working. The following season—overwinter—it had restored itself.

This time, the failure appears to be the light switch itself. This has also happened before. Since this is the only electric item on this circuit, I'll be replacing the expired 15-amp switch with a 20-amp switch.
