Sounds like the thermostat is burnt out or a shortage

SOURCE: Blinking lights. Shuts off.

Hello, Mne was also shutting down. Turns out that is was clogged with dust, therefore overheating and turning it self off. If you're handy, you may want to open the heater and dust it off with a can of compressed air. 
Worked for me.

SOURCE: Have a lasko ceramic element heater

just wanted to say that I am having the same problem.  I turn it on and it stops working.  When I push the power, it only lights up for a second and beeps and then goes off.  Is there a solution to this yet? I think the company owes us an explanation.  I have already tried to plug it in to different outlets and still get the same results.

SOURCE: I have a lasko tower ceramic heater that keeps shutting down.

mine does the same thing every year. I just clean out the dust from the vents on the back of the heater so the heater can breath otherwise it could get too hot and the safety fetcher kick in and makes the heater stop working.

I do not know how to solve this problem but i will add my own solution. Like you said, you will have to wait for it to begin functioning again after you plug it back up.while its unplugged, you have to wait a moment until a small click it made.

The fan is operating on my Model 1500 V portable heater but no heat is coming out. Is there a way to replace the heating element? We are in the Scottsdale, AZ area if you have a service company that...

Most of these heaters are not worth the price of repairing.You will spend more on labor then a new heater will cost. One thing you can try is to shut switch off on the heater and turn the thermostat to high then unplug unit for 10 mins. Plug back in and turn on. Some of these heaters will reset by doing this.It may not help but it costs nothing to try. Hope this helps you. Thanks

Lasko heater shut down

The 5840 has a problem with dust getting on the heater element and turning itself off after 2 minutes running. HERE IS THE FIX. Unplug the unit from the AC outlet, Then using a can of dusting air ( the kind you use to clean a computer key board) aim the compressed air INTO the middle louver of the upper adjustable heater vent and blow out the dust that has gotten on the heater element. ( You are actually blowing into the unit, clearing off the lint/dust that has gotten on the backside of the heater element that you can not see without openning the entire case).You can see the front of the heater element inside the louvers, It's the shinny metal part that looks like a small radiator.It sits behind the middle louver. After blowing out the dust, shake the entire unit to allow the dust to settle to the bottom of the case. Using a vacum cleaner try to vacum out any dust from the LOWER FRONT intake. Once the dust has been blown OFF the heater element, the unit will work just as new and not shut itself down!

Lasko heater run about 5 minutes and shut down/how to clean

i have the same problem ... i almost throw this heater out ,,
the fix .. open the unit theres 6 screw at the back.. remove it if you have problem removing the triangle screw use the small square head screw ...size 0 and then you also need to open the black plastic ..
i believe it has 8 screws .. then vaccuum all the dust .. chances are the front and the back of the heating element is covered with dust ..
after that put all back together and i guaranteed it should work like brand new ,,,, dont worry its not that hard ... the only hard thing for me was removing the 2 triangle screws at the back .. Goodluck

Lasko 5350 will not power up. Tempermental.

I had the same problem with mine,, I called the 800# and they told me to either vacuum it out weekly or use a hair dryer to blow out the vents, both solutions seemed to have work for me ~ good luck
