[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 256606, member: 1408"] We can't recommend that you test live . If an electrician came he would check the supply by tripping the time switch (if old style) or connecting a temp 24 hr supply . He would also check the D/Pole isolator was still switching the supply to the heater. He would then remove the heater cover and check the fusible link . Then he'd be looking to see if the input control was putting a supply to the elements. Common faults if all the other heaters are working are:- Someone tripped the MCB in the board. Loose connection within the heating board. The DP isolator at the heater has burnt out due to a loose connection . The safety fusible link has operated to prevent overheating . clothing /cushion piled on heater. Burnt out connection within the heater . ******** input control. All the elements have failed. Remember that (a) There is no power to the system during daytime hours but possibly a midday boost and (B) the power will come on automatically ,generally at midnight GMT . [/QUOTE]
