Maybe the fact that the heat sink is shiny and clean while the rest is grimy and gross? I think you would normally expect there to be lots of dust on the fins, deposited by years of convection. On the other hand, since the cover is off, it’s probably reasonable to think they’ve just replaced the part? Idk, I’m guessing (about all of it).
I’d assumed it was open BECAUSE it wasn’t producing heat; that is, because it was broken. And isn’t the cover lying on the carpet in front of the heater?
But maybe I’m completely misunderstanding. Can you tell us what you photographed and what we should be noticing?

It doesn’t produce heat. I think the cover got recycled.
