In this episode I carry out fault finding for a storage heater that wasn't working in a domestic property in east London.
So I arrived at this job where the client told me that their storage heater stopped working earlier in the year. They had the heater checked by someone and they told the customer that the heater was working fine.
The first thing I did was check the spur connected to the heater after tracing what looked like the power cable to this this point. Upon taking the spur off I discovered that the heater had been disconnected.

The next thing I did was make sure that the cables running from the consumer unit to the heater were by carrying out insulation resistance testing. That checked out OK so I knew it was going require a process of elimination to find out what the fault was.
Having inspected the spur I could see it was in bad condition. So, I decided to change the spur to see if this had any impact. It did and the heater started up all OK. Another job done.
