Hi,

My Mum has an old (circa 40 years) electric log effect fire. It's a
3Kw Belling Celtic. There are 3 elements and one has stopped working.
I wonder if anyone has any pointers to suppliers of elements of this
vintage ? Otherwise the fire is fine, it's very well made and my
mother is very fond of it, hence the desire to fix it.

I did some google searches but all the suppliers I tried appeared not
to cover fires, just cookers

many thanks

When I needed a very old element, I went to an electrical supplier with the
dead one, he went through the catalogues and found a suitable replacement,
which he ordered for me.

or you could just do a google search for elementman:
http://www.elementman.co.uk/Firebars/index.htm

He appears to list all types.

1. Old run down electrical shops should have some in stock from when
they used to be a regular selling line.

2. Buy an electric bar fire with the same length and power element

3. repairing open wire wound elements is quite possible too.
