creda storage heater fault

[planenut]

Hi Folks, I have a Creda storage heater in which I found the fusible link had, well obviously, it had fused. After replacing it, again it fused. I have had a quick look for loose wires, and now have to dig deeper.
I have searched for suitable advice, i.e. Internet and Library but with no result. Has anybody any suggestion as to a source of advice on what to check out please?

Will usually be the input stat gone faulty - hence it overheats, and the fuseable link melts - doing it's job.

Replace the input stat.
