Default Storage Heater Technical Information

Hi,
I have a UNIDARE WMS724N that has failed. I need a circuit schematic
so that I can search
out the source of the failure. I know that it has three heating
elements & two thermostats.
I think it unlikely that all three elements have failed so failure of
one of the thermostats
is high on the list. I understand that one of the thermostats protects
against runaway max temperature. If anyone out there can help please
email.

GBS

Have you checked any fuses it may have?

The stats will be in series with the elements in parallel

I had to fix a heater with all 4 failed. Check them with a meter or
continuity tester.

Incidentally - many heaters use a generic Dimplex 850 Watt element. I got
some replacements at a good price off e-bay.

The thermostat may have a overheat device that might need pushing to reset
it.
