So the first, a 200watt just stopped working. Won't turn on or anything.

The other is a 300watt, it heats 90g to 85F and never seems to turn off. How ever I mess with the dial, nothing, ie, push it in or pull on it. It will turn off when I go all the way to the lowest setting, turns on as soon as it goes up slightly.

Any way to fix them??

I need a real heater...I hate all of these stupid heaters....
My hob heaters work better...ugh.

Both under a year, bought new. I mess with the dial with them in the water, then tried out of the water, nothing. No leaks, cracks, it isn't crazy hot to the touch either.
