Possibles for storage heating not working

Lads hoping someone can give me the basics as to why the mates storage heater may not be working before he calls in the pro's. ITs the combi type with storage and fan assited. I can only check it during the day so am unable to check for power going into the storage side. Is there a way I can change something in the fuse…

Presuming it is getting power, is there any settings I should be doing with the dials to make sure the storage side of the heater is getting enought heat into it to give it out.

Thanks

They have a thermal-cut-out which operates from over-heat. This is usually due to the heater being covered by clothes, etc.
you will have to open heater up to access this though
probably a job for the expert though
if you are doing this,turn BOTH isolation switches off
