I have a dud electrical element in a Dimplex TDTR350W
http://www.dimplex.co.uk/products/d...ils/dtr_eco_range/technical_specification.htm
It has a blank plate on the bottom of one side and the element on the other. There is a bleed valve at the top of one side.
Now I have a replacement part but the Dimplex installation instructions make me a bit nervous:
"The towel rail is a sealed unit and is filled and sealed under controlled conditions. Under no circumstances should the seal of the unit be compromised"
My plan was simply to
(1) put the thing upside down, switch the element
(2) wire it in and heat it up for a few hours
(3) relieve pressure through the bleed valve until it doesn't need bleeding
Now I can't think why Dimplex wouldn't want someone to service their parts like that? Any experts out there who can shed any light on this?
