Switch it out and see if you can get another one. I don’t think they are made to be used as a switch. Could be wrong on that.
I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

Ken Check all connections and make sure they are tight like said before.
I am working on an inverter for one of my saws and screws not real tight and the plastic cover on the copper wire is wrinkled indicating heat!

You'd be much better off adding a fuse/breaker box between the heater and the main, and use that for on/off, It's made for it.

Most breakers are designed to kick at no more than 140 F. You would feel that warmth on the exterior of the breaker. I think it would be hot to the touch if it was nearing the trip point.
I am not an electrician.
