Electricaire Enviwarm Superfan - Not Storing Heat?

Hi,

I have a Electricaire Enviwarm Superfan system which should store heat over night via a white meter system. It isn't storing any heat over night. There is an electrical supply going to the unit from the white meter. The fan which runs from the standard meter supply still operates.

Where would I start if I wanted to further investigate?

Thanks for any help offered.

Make sure the electric supply to the heater is turned off, then remove the lower panel to gain access to the control gear. Look for a reset button, probably mounted high up on the right hand side, and if memory serves a red coloured button. Push the button and if it "clicks" you may well be in business. This is a first line defense against overheating, but can trip for no apprent reason. If it continues to trip out, you may have a stuck power relay or a faulty charge controller.
If this does not work, you may have a thermal relay not working. Once you get to this stage you really need proffesional help
Good luck.

First, check which model heater you have as some have asbestos in them. If asbestos is present, it's advisable to get a specialist in to look at it
