Replacing a socket suppling a storage heater

[Paperchase2000]

Hopefully a simple and quick query...

The switch controlling off-peak power to my storage heater (Dimplex Duoheat) no longer works and feels like its jammed inside. It should be a straightforward task to swap out for a new one, although I can't find any manufacturers marks to buy the right replacement. Based on the attached photos, could anyone provide a link to a suitable product? The existing case has an second switch to the left for the on-peak supply, although that's working correctly. There is also a separate plug socket to the right. The photo of the internals is taken from above, so left and right swapped around!

Thanks in advance

Some brands suffer from this if the cables are pushed in too far
Try removing one or both lives and see if the switch now operates ( isolate power first )

Otherwise it's just a standard Switched Fused-Connector-Unit.

Thanks both for the speedy replies. Ive just repositioned the connections and the switch now moves cleanly, so hopefully sorted! Otherwise good to know its a standard replacement.

Thanks again.

For future reference, your accessories are BG Nexus...

Storage heaters should be connected to 20A switches only, not FCUs, as the fuses tend to overheat. Some storage heaters also use more than 13 amps.
