Storage Heater




By jane_simon on Jan 04, 2008

" "
Our Creda Night Storage Heater has just stopped working. We have changed the fuse in the socket but it still does not work. Could it be the element. Is there any way of finding out whether the element has gone before purchasing a new one.

Same Problem

-   I have the same problem with both my creda night storage heaters. Any what kind of costs are involved and whether it is better to go with a big company to repair it or whether a single electrician can do the job-   carlosvborge

You will need a volt/ohm meter. remove the element or at least the wires on each end. set the meter to ohms, touch each lead from the meter to the opposing ends of the element. The meter should have some type of resistance. If it shows open or the needle doesn't move (on the older non digital type) then the element is bad.
