Storage heater not heating up but powered Discussion ThreadStorage heater not heating up but powered Electrical Advice
Hi guys,
I'm on a job where one of the storage heaters isn't heating up. it is a dimplex model FXL18N 2.34kW.
There are two of these heaters in the property but one is not heating up. I've checked & bypassed the supply using peak supply to verify that electricity is getting into the heater.
At the elements 240v, resistance is 23.7 ohms.
The control / thermostat clicks when moved but no change in resistance at the element & there is no disconnection of electricity when the thermostat is turned to zero. I've duplicated the test at the other heater & exactly the same results.
No thermal trips as there is electricity at the elements live & neutral, can anyone think of anything else i've missed or can try?
Cheers Jon.
