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.
-   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.

Need both quartz heater elements for approx. 1980's model Presto Quartz Upright- 2 tube heater - When heater is set on low setting one tube heats to 750 - both tubes operatating heats to 1500.. Switch setting is on top - Tubes are 'snap-in' -- 15-1/4" long - tubes appear to have been 'clear'. I can repair if you will tell me where to purchase the tubes.
