[QUOTE="catfishjoe, post: 32851, member: 2018"] Hi. I have a Creda TSR model 79161 ( which has the problem) in my downstairs hall and an older automatic Creda upstairs. We are on an off-peak tariff, which gives us power from 2400 to 0700, with a boost from 1400 to 1600. Recently we had a timer-clock problem which gave us off-peak power 24/7, this burnt out most of the elements in the TSR, but the fusible link remained intact (the upstairs Creda seems to have survived untouched). All the elements (4) were replaced by a local guy and it heated up with no problems, however we have been having intermittent problems with the replacement timer-clock and fusible links ( three in all) have been melting. The timer clock has now been replaced again, for a fully working one this time, we hope, but I don't know if the power being on a few hours extra now and then is the cause of the melting fusible links or if it's lightly to be something else. The contacts on the thermostat under the input control flick open and closed when the **** is turned. So should I be thinking about replacing the two copper sensors under the unit? New fusible links have been ordered, but replacing them is getting to be an expensive business for just a few days heat, so I would appreciate any advice. ps: I am not an electrician and I don't have any testing kit. Many thanks in advance for any help you can give me. If further informaion would be helpful please let me know. Catfishjoe. [/QUOTE]
