Hi,

Am hoping for some advice.

Having problems with one of our Newlec storage heaters.  The input dial is turning all the round (other half turned it too far) and heat isn't coming out according to the numbers anymore.  Never had any problems before but now we can't tell where output "1" is or "6".

The heater itself is working fine.

Is this something we can fix ourselves? Hoping to repair rather than replace as had no problems with the heaters til now.

Hoping this I something someone has had happen before!

Many thanks in advance!

AMENDED - IS THE OUTPUT DIAL THAT'S NOT WORKING PROPERLY (not the input)

It might be as simple as needing a new knob. The plastic goes brittle with age and the flat that grips the shaft it's turning can break off.
