Hi Guys,
Now I havent had much to do with fault finding on storage heaters. I have installed loads of brand new ones though.
My customer has a Sunhouse 79169 3.36kw storage heater thats not working. Its on E7 so I have hooked it up to the 24hr supply to do a few tests.
Now I removed the front cover and tested between the element terminal blocks at the bottom and got 235v, then I turned the switch off and the voltage dissapeared. So Im thinking it may just be the actual elements that are faulty. All the terminal blocks have power when switched on but there is no heat at all. Is there something else it could be? Ive read some posts which mention a faulty thermal cut out, does this sound likely in my case? If so, where would I find it?
Thanks guys.
Jay
