Storage Heater

posted 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.
I have the same problem

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.
