my W123 300D.  As it is no getting cold at night, I plugged the block
heater in, it worked splendidly ONE night, the engine started smartly
the next morning, and the block heater hasn't worked since.

Is there anything to look for or consider other than just a
prematurely failed block heater unit.  Everything was new on this,
heater unit and wiring.

Thanks!

Did you check the circuit you plugged the heater into?

Yes, I checked the electrical outlet, and it seems to work normally.
The block heater is not on a an car circuit, i.e., no fuse, etc.
