UK Dimplex storage heater question.

Can anyone point me in the direction of the reset switch on the Dimplex XL 12N series A? Thanks.

From memory. Right hand side in the brown bit, push in should feel and hear a click if operated.

What he said ^^

follow the wiring. The over temp reset will be in series with the controls on the live side.
if it’s a reoccurring problem, you’ll need to diagnose the problem.

Cheers for the replies, followed your instructions, no click as such but fingers crossed it works.

Turn off at the wall and do a continuity test across live and neutral with the input dial fully open. Should read the resistance of the elements.
If open circuit, you’ll get a very high reading.(ie, if the reset hasn’t clicked back in)

Edit
just realised this is a DIY question. So best just leave it and see if it works tonight.

It's this bit if you didn't find it, sort of rectangular metal tab, make sure the mains supply is off as the tab is live in operation. Press it gently, it is a fragile part. If it has tripped for no apparent reason and trips again the thermostat is likely faulty and the thermostat and cutout unit will need to be replaced as a complete unit.

If it hasn't tripped and it is not working, further testing will be required.
