hi,clive

Why I have got this question because I was watching a video and saw the lady was posing and touching
a heater in her room .That's made me wonder how to ask a question if the heater is heat enough to burn
her!

For this, your words are fine. Is/was the heater hot enough to burn her?

Hi,
IS NOT THE HEATER ON HEAT?

So which mean the above sentence is wrong?
Yes, it's wrong.
However, you could say Isn't the heater on 'heat' ? This means specifically 'Is the heater switch turned to the 'on' position?'

Best wishes, Clive

Your answer is very useful,

recently I live in the UK.

Thanks again
