Over a week ago, there was a strange smell in the house when the heater was running (the line filter was connected to the TV and other equipment, along with the heater - it was not overloaded). Yesterday, the 10A fuse in the line filter blew and upon opening it, a Wima MP3-X2 0.047uF capacitor was leaking, and tests shown it had electrical leakage.
This capacitor was apparently under stress, causing it to heat up and eventually started to short when it overheated.
