No one can find my model listed anywhere. Im in the a/c repair field, so ill assume theres a defrost heater staying on too long. Is this a common problem? is there an easy fix, or is it time to scrap it? It looks like new, and works great. Being in my elderly mothers home, is this a dangerous situation until the problem is corrected?

It cuts the heater off(opens the circuit) when it reaches a preset temp to prevent overheating by the heater and turns the heater on(closes the circuit) when it gets cold again.
