i have a creda tsr 12 aw storage heater which has stopped generating heat, there is power to the unit and i'm not sure what else to check.

Any help would be appreciated

Hello and welcome

Have you covered it with anything?

Most likely problem is a thermal link, some are push button re-sets, some melt and need physical replacement.

Let me have a look....

I've looked hard and can't find a proper technical manual for them.

The brochure states:

Safety - Two level thermal safety overheat protection

Sounds more likely to be a re-settable button? Anyone familiar with these?

there is a lack of results search results for a thermal link, so you may be right about it being re-settable

Creda ones usually have a thermalfuse link, somewhere in the top of the casing RH side I think. I used to install NS heaters for the elec board - Creda Dimplex and Unidare. Creda being the better ones.
