I have a Punto, and today the heater just wouldn't turn on, i heard it trying to kick in (a slight whirring sound) and then nothing..... A few hours later it worked......then stopped again. My hubby checked it after work, and it worked for him no problem, but wont work on the highest number. It works if Its turned to 1, 2,…

My hubby checked it after work, and it worked for him no problem, but wont work on the highest number. It works if Its turned to 1, 2, and 3...but shuts off again at 4

Any ideas? thanks :-)
