    Electric Baseboard Heater Short?
    I have baseboard heaters along two walls in the main room of my apartment. There is an old style thermostat that has ascending numbers on it but really just clicks on or off. I can take the knob off but the cover plate is glued to the wall, and the only writing on the unit says "Comfort." Anyway, even though the switch clicks and is turned as far to the left as possible, the heaters keep turning on and off. Is this a short in the wiring or possibly some other problem? I can get my landlord to fix it but that usually takes a while so I'd like to know if there's something I can tell her that might expedite the process or if I should just shut off the breaker and wait. Thanks for your time and your help.
