storage heater buzzing

smeedyova · 2009-10-30 11:43:43

Hello, I have a Dimplex CXL storage heater and when it kicks in at night the unit on the wall (a fuse box?) makes a really, really loud buzzing noise for about 8 hours until the thing switches off. Does anybody know what I should do to fix this? Many thanks,

Its the contactor in the fuseboard that turns on & off the heaters.

If it is very noisy the contactor may need replacing. This would require a qualified electrician.
