[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 307438, member: 6969"] I am familliar with the round ones with a white button in the middle. you press those down they go click and reset. This is the third one of this design I have had recently. Once "tripped" there are two strips of copper that have sprung apart. you can push them together, but there's nothing to hold them together. I've pushed and pulled every bit I can see and can't see a way to reset them. So I thought they were held in place by something that "fused" and caused them to spring apart if they overheated. Have I just been unlucky and come across 3 of them that have broken and not just tripped? I don't need one urgently, a week or so will do. In this case the storage heater has a convector built into the front, and there's a coal fire in the room so they are not without heat. I'm going back in about a week to do a CU change so it would be good to have one by then. My "problem" (or perceived problem) is I have always been able to buy them for £15 and charge the customer (letting agent) £20 for them plus fitting. Now all of a sudden, unless I can get them cheaper, it will be nearer £40 to the customer, and I don't want them wondering why I'm suddenly ripping them off. [/QUOTE]
