[QUOTE="bad2vbone, post: 256605, member: 18144"] Hi. Thanks for having me. My first post on the forum, wondering if someone can help me please. I have a Sunhouse SSH24a 79362s ([URL="http://www.storageheater.co.uk/Models/Sunhouse/79342S.htm"]SUNHOUSE - 79342S/79352S/79362S Storage Heater Parts[/URL]) which just recently has stopped working. Other storage heaters in house are working still, have tried swapping MCBs around but all test ok anyway. On opening the heater there are 2 components infront the control knobs (Limit Thermostat & Manual Reset Cutout?), both with 2 contacts, and connected in series with one another. I get continuity through these with a meter. All elements test ok. I am however stuck with the input controller. It looks like a stack of 3 polo mints. 1 solid wire runs from the bottom of the mints to a thermostat(?) under the heater. In the middle are 2 metal contactors (in the closed position as the heater is cold). How do I test this component? Also, as I get continuity through the Limit Thermostat & Manual Reset Cutout, I take it these are ok? Any info greatly appreciated. Although a telecomms engineer, I have done some electrical work and I am comfortable with the use of a multi-meter and some live testing if needed! Thanks. [/QUOTE]
