    Faulty Dimplex storage heater.

    I will get the meter checked, but I maybe didn't explain the situation well. The 3 elements I removed from the non functioning heater work fine in the heater that was working and the 3 from the good heater don't work in the problem heater. So regardless of any meter fault, human or machine...

    Faulty Dimplex storage heater.

    Update: swapped the 3 heating elements with the 3 from a working heater, It still works and the problem one still doesnt. Just to check for future reference I used the multimeter in the 0 - 200ohms range and all 6 elements had a reading in the 8ohm region. Baffled.

    Faulty Dimplex storage heater.

    I have replaced the item I indicated on the diagram. This is an "accelerator resistor. Still no heat.

    Faulty Dimplex storage heater.

    Gents, on the diagram above, item#8, looks like a fuse or similar. I have no continuity through this. Could that be the problem?

    Faulty Dimplex storage heater.

    After all your responses I have gone back and checked the resistance of the elements. Don' know how I managed to get the previous readings but the correct reading is 8.3ohms

    Faulty Dimplex storage heater.

    I can confirm that there's power to the elements

    Faulty Dimplex storage heater.

    Just to clarify. I removed the 3 elements to check resistance and they all read about 0.03ohms.

    Faulty Dimplex storage heater.

    Thanks JohnD, in this model I believe it's like a set of points in an old car and it looks intact. Ive pressed down the white tab to make sure. If this was the problem would that not cut the power to the elements?

    Faulty Dimplex storage heater.

    I have a Dimplex XL18N series B heater that doesnt heat. So far I have checked: 1. voltage in the circuit, all elements are live. 2. resistance of the elements, virtually 0 Ohms. Any suggestions what the problem might be?
