I'm not sure if the Oakhurst is basically the same workings as the Cassington but your problem is very different from the one I had. Why don't you start a new thread so as to avoid confusion and hopefully someone will be able to help you good luck

Thank you again AlastairE. We now have a working Cassington once more. No faulty light bulbs, no faulty lamp holders, just the burnt out wires & connectors as previous photos. Now I can show you the best photo of all, the fire working! Can't see flames very well but they are certainly there...

AlastairE Thought you might like to see this. After taking out the lamp holder unit I discovered what is hopefully the only reason for the lamps not working. I haven't got any further just yet but will let you know the final outcome. It's obviously a manufacturing error as you can see that the...

Thank you AlastairE for your very prompt reply I have checked individually each pin on each lamp holder in turn and back to connection block for the transformer - all appears ok I have also checked out for any possible short circuit to earth on the lamp holder itself - nothing faulty found (via...

Question for AlastairE. I have been reading your posts with interest as we have a mammoth problem with our Cassington optimist series A. After18 months of minimal use (and making sure water tank was emptied & sump cleaned), we found the mist was not working. A phone call to Dimplex told us the...
