Newlec LL SH 24 AN - Storage Heater

[chrisandmarksmum]

My 85 year old mother has just informed me that her Newlec night storage heater has never worked. (She has had it installed for 5 years)

The fuse is OK so I think she has switched it off and the clock may need resetting (She keeps switching it on and off)

The clock isn't visable. Would it be under the panel at the top?

Any help gratefully received!

never worked in five years
do you still have the users manual?
what system is it make and model

She's lost the manual. All it says on the heater is NEWLEC LL SH 24 AN. I have Googled it but I am unable to find anywhere that has the manual.

I have a feeling that if I unscrew the top panel a clock/timer may be there. (I presume that storage heaters have timers as they switch on between midnight and 6amish and they are all quite similar in the way they work)

I wish she would have told me this 5 years ago!!!!!!


Kind regards
Jane

can you not contact them and ask if you can either be sent or download a users guide.
I had a quick look put can find any links to one.
I will try again later.
But if removing anything isolate the equipemnet first, before you go poking around.
Likely to be quite simple solution, do they not come on at all?

I have had a look for a user guide too but have come up with nothing!! The local council put the fire in at no charge to my mother and since then, they will have changed contractors, so there is no hope of tracing who actually put it in.
According to my mother it has never worked but if she's switching it on and off all the time, who knows?
I just thought that there may be a timer/clock under the cover but nothing is simple any more (*sighs*)
Many thanks for your help. I may just call a local electrician and get them to sort it out.
Kind regards
