You havent said what size tank? TopFin is a Petsmart brand and very low quality imo. If the heater is staying on and you arent getting warmer, it is going to burn out. Aquarium heaters, even the best arent meant to be on constantly. They come on, get very hot and shut down, usually in 1-2 mins. You could do a warm water change, get to the desired temp, which should be minimum 87 btw, and if the heater is still functioning, it might maintain. Easier would indeed be another heater.

Ya agreed... After reading the reviews it seems its a grade A POS.. So.. I went and bought a Finnex 300w. Problem solved
