[QUOTE="Jonboy73, post: 469938, member: 30585"] I've looked at a Dimplex XT24 (4 element) storage heater. It is warming up but not putting nearly enough heat out. That led me to think 1 or more of the heater elements had gone....which also stacked up with the tenants view that the ends of the heater were cooler / hotter in the middle. (With all power off) I tested the resistance across each of the heater elements contacts (all 4 of them get 20 ohms) and I get 58 ohms across the L&N terminals. With 20 ohms at each element, I'm guessing that these are all OK? What else can be replaced on these heaters.......is there more than 1 thermostat? What result should I get if I test resistance across a good stat (or conversely, what would I get if the stat was faulty). Any help appreciated, thanks. Jonboy [/QUOTE]
