Storage heaters not working

    Hi lads.... I know this has come up before (and people mentioned the switch) but our 2 storage heaters have stopped working. The fan part in the bigger one (smaller one does not have fan) is working. I'm useless with electrics, can someone point me in the right direction in terms of what the issue might be and perhaps suggest an electrician in the South Dublin/Ballinteer area who could sort it out quickly?

    If your a tenant, this is your landlords issue to repair.

    Ive had this done in the past when operation seized.

    If both stopped working at the same time it is most likely an issue at the fuseboard. Check the timer which operates them is working properly as these can fail and would prevent the heaters coming on too. The fan is run from a different circuit so it will operate regardless.

    Check the tripswitches in your fuseboard are all up, check the clock beside your meter is at the right time and take it from there. If the clock has stopped, call the ESB.

    Tx so much I'll check this out. The clock is out of reach unfortunately, it's behind a door seemingly only the meter reader has a key too.

    If it has a devireg controller, that is another possibility. If there is one, there might be a dial on it with Day written under it. Turn it to constant, and see if that brings them on.

    I have 2 Creda storage heaters one of which is a combi. They were both working fine until the time clock in the building went haywire. The clock seems to be right now but while the heaters are working theyre not giving out enough heat even with the charge input and the room thermostat set to the max. Anyone got any advice?

    If there is a devireg in the system just get it removed they are crap.

    If they are located in the fuse box then I dont have one.
