[QUOTE="OKay, post: 523827, member: 34704"] Hello, I am having issues with my Dimplex Quantum, they have been installed for about 2 or 3 years now and I have an issue with the one in my bedroom/living space. It gets very unbearably cold without heating. It runs separately from all the other heaters in the house (so no main control for it other than on the actual heater itself.) I have been searching a lot online but have not been able to find an answer anywhere. The heater blasts out the warm air with no issues and the control panel seems to work just fine, but it's really hit or miss whether the actual thing (bricks?) will heat up. Sometimes I will turn it on and it will heat up straight away, other times it just won't heat up at all, not even when boosted or left overnight or all day. I did find that if I switch the thing on and off at the wall (both switches) it will sometimes decide it wants to heat itself up (sometimes after a few attempts at that), but other times I have to wait a few hours and then switch it off and on again to get it to work. I read somewhere the cold can mean they don't heat up, but I've tested it and found no pattern between the rooms temperature and when the heater decides it wants to work. It would be really great if someone would be able to help. I'm really not sure if this is something I am doing wrong or can fix myself, or whether this is something I need to call someone out for.
