Hey I was wondering if anyone who knows a thing or two about the above might be able to advise on this issue that has cropped up today.
I have one of these heaters in the lounge and two switches next to it on the wall. To use the heater I put both switches on and the heater comes on about midnight, charges up to about 6am then kicks heat out during the day. All good there. Today however I have noticed the heater was starting to get warm about 5pm. Why would this be? Obviously dont want that to happen because its not at the cheaper economy rate. My electricity supplier hasnt a clue and I cant get hold of the manufacturer at this time.
Any help would be much appreciated. |

My love, there must be a timer on there. I think your hour is from the clock change but if you like send a picture of the unit plus yourself ?? and I'll look it up.
I do appliance repairs |

"Creda is owned by a company called Glen Dimplex ... and it sounds like your thermostat inside the unit is shot...

"You can check what programmes are set by looking at the main screen and seeing what programme is displayed. Switch off the 24-hour supply for 10 seconds to factory reset your storage heater."

No they have an old wheel or just come on and off with a thermostat, if it's coming on and off thermostat must be working |

They are a rotary thermostat that clicks on and off when the timing wheel rotates, it's a common fault on older units the bearings either dry up or wear down |

The two most replaced parts (experience earned from working for electrical wholesaler for 40 years) are the thermostat and thermal link, so my bet is either or if it's been working fine till recently |
