Do some storage heaters have fans or are you talking about the convection part of a dual storage and convection heater? Have you checked the trip switches at your fusebox? Have you tried using a phase tester to check if any current is getting into the heater (only do this if you know what you're doing). Have you tried hoovering out any dust/fluff and checking of any fuses are blown (only do this with the heater isolated from the mains at the fusebox). Otherwise get an electrician on the job.smree said:I have 3 creda storage heaters in my apartment as part of the Goldshield ESB system and 2 have stopped working. 1 stopped a while back but I wasn't too bothered as it was the smaller one in my sitting room but now the larger combination one has stopped working. THe fan part still works but it's nowlonger taking in heat overnight.
Do some of them have a thermal cut out fuse of some sort which could need to be replaced? I remember noticing something like a cermic coated resistor type component which was connected near the input/outpout dial controls...SineWave said:They have a thermal-cut-out which operates from over-heat. This is usually due to the heater being covered by clothes, etc.
You need to slip off the top cover, with wall switches in off position. It is usually a small white button about the size of a match head, in around the thermostat dial area. You know you've forund it when you hear a click.

The convection and storate parts are usually (always?) on separate circuits/rings (especially since the storage heater circuit switches on and off under control of the night rate meter or other device which controls the charging from 11PM-8AM/12AM-9AM) so the fact that one works is no indication that the other is getting current.smree said:I'm assuming that there's current getting to heater as the convection part works?
