[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 469944, member: 6969"] If each heating element is about 20 ohms each , then all 4 in parallel should be about 5 ohms NOT 58. The charge thermostat could be at fault, switching off at too low a temperature. There are usually 2 themostats, the normal charge thermostat, and a safety cut out to stop it overheating if the charge thermostat fails. If that has gone, it will not heat up at all. Some safety thermostats can be reset, occasionally you will find a thermal fuse instead. P.S Who has their storage heaters on at this time of year? [/QUOTE]
