    dimplex XL6N storage heater

    May be obvious but have you checked L-E and L-N for voltage if not as above. I had a couple in a oap home and was chasing my tail for ages. turned out one of the neutral bars had burnt out in the board and like a plumb i only quickly checked L-E and was so easy i missed it.

    Need to be carefull as mentioned here before some look like a PME being on the side of the neutral terminal but don't always have a link and are just a separate earth terminal.
