I have a Dimplex XL n storage heater - I can't find the thermal switch anywhere!
I did cover it and it wont heat up now, there is power going in and I put a new thermostat in!

I read your older post about the location of the thermal switch on top beside the controls but I can't see it!! Help!

Thanks a lot!

with the power turned off, take the lid off and it is next to the controls. look for a round disc with a little button in the middle.

failing that take a photo and post it, we can show you where it is.

Still can't find it! Pic attached.

no wonder you are struggling, it is not where it used to be.
can you take a picture face on so i can see the controls and also one where the cable comes into the heater at the bottom.

I have exactly the same problem. However if you took a photo of the front you'd still not see anywhere where the thermal cut out could be. Are you sure it isn't part of the input control - there is a little 1mm tube at the back which comes off that maroon block. Is there something on the block - see photo- that doesn't need resetting? There is a tab that points up that could be something?

The repair kit for one of these shows just the input control assembly and lists it as being the input / cut out unit. There doesn't seem to be a disc or button item to use when repairing the XLN.

Anyone know whe the thermal cut off is located. And can it be reset?

I reckon its on the white block. It's been a while since I last had a look inside one of these, but the reset button was definitely at the top (where it gets hot)
