Topic: Filastruder not getting above 106-108C

So I got my filastruder yesterday, was super excited, plugged it in, turned on the heater, let sit for 35-45 minutes, came back and it's at 106-108 and doesn't go any higher.  If I try to turn the motor on it's not hot enough and you can hear it struggling and it drops to 86C so not doing that anymore.  Any idea's what's going on?  I've emailed the Filastruder guys but no response.
