Storage Heater not heating up

Thermal fusible link 'blown'?

maybe how would I find this out? would it be easy to replace?

Most likely the fusible link (or if your lucky the thermal trip) has gone. Very probably your put something over the it, or the thermostat failed.

The usual procedure is: 1) Turn off. 2) Open the cabinet 3) Reset overheat trip or replace fusible link. 4) Close cabinet 5) Turn on. 6) Give stern lecture to tenants that drying clothes/towel/coats on the heater cause the heaters to stop working if they are lucky or causes a fire if they are less lucky. Explain that the Landlord pays for the first such visit, subsequent visits will be charged for (unless they are due to some other problem).

As mentioned earlier, take the cover off (isolate the circuit first) - it should be close to the IN/OUT controls.

You'll be able to get a spare quite easily online if you google for the heater model.

they are usually resettable trips unless your heaters are very old.

The resets are very hard to push back on, they feel like there is nothing wrong.

If you can't work out where they are, you can trace the point that has 'blown' with a mulitmeter (but only after midnight of course)
