I know next to none about wax warmers. I use leftover candle wax in my melter and all I smell is hot ceramic. This is over 10 years old and I wonder if it needs to me tossed. I noticed red wax on the bottom on the hot plate… I can’t tell you the last time I had red wax. So, I’m guessing there’s a crack and wax is leaking though.

Now… should I toss the whole thing? Base and all? Replace just the wax holder part (is this even possible?).

Are there safer units now that doesn’t use a wildly hot light bulb?

Any tips would be much appreciated!
