Usually, the whole thing crashes and burns right at the lead-wire junction. If you&rsquo;re looking at an IPX4 rated unit, that seal has a tough job. It has to keep water out while the heater is constantly heating up and cooling down. I&rsquo;ve seen way too many cheap heaters that just use basic silicone glue. It looks fine at first, but after a few hundred hours of heat soak, it just cracks. Once that happens, moisture creeps into the housing. Then comes the carbonization, and before you know it, you&rsquo;ve got a short circuit on your hands.</p>
