I unplugged it for an hour and put it back in the tank and it still doesn't turn off. Replace? Or is it ok to use for the rest of winter

If you want to keep using it and still have some peace-of-mind, just hook it up to this http://www.kensfish.com/aquarium-supplies/aquarium-heaters/finnex-max-300-controller.html
