Hello all,
I need some help with an electric oil filled radiator that’s developed a problem.
Basically the heating function is on all the time!
By that I mean once it’s reached the desired temperature (set on the front LED display) instead of the heating function stopping it just carries on heating the oil. The only way to stop it is to power the unit off, which we are doing via the remote so we don’t have to keep getting up.
The heater has been in storage so the warranty has unfortunately now run out. But it’s been used just a handful of times so is practically brand new and I’m hoping easy to fix.
I have opened up the unit and uploaded some photos of the circuit board.
One of the photos has something that looks like a thermistor, which I believe can be used as a temperature sensor so I’m wondering if it could be that that’s causing the problem?
If it is that and they come in different types and specifications can anyone please advise which one I should get?
Or is the problem more complicated than just changing the thermistor?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
