[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 307471, member: 6969"] Well I'm going to do the CU change at this property next week, and I'll refrain from ordering a new one until I have tried to reset this one. The last two I had like this, no amount of pushing, pulling or prodding any moveable part would get it to reset. But perhaps it's just me? This is certainly NOT an intuitive mechanism. So I'll take this out of the heater to "work" on it so I can see it properly, and have a look with a magnifying glass to try and understand how the mechanism works and which bit needs pushing in which direction to reset it. and let you know. Unfortunately the last two failures that were replaced, I have thrown away the old failed ones, so no longer have them to experiment with. To be honest, if it can't be reset, I have half considered soldering a thermal fuse across the contacts of the trip. It would be a lot cheaper, but of course you would all consider it a "bodge". But given that thermal fuses are used as an over temperature device in many storage heaters I can't see what would be wrong. (plus I already have a bag of thermal fuses) :coat [/QUOTE]
