heater control panel

Post by janieh »

Hi All

We've got a broken lever on the heater controls and have bought a replacement from Brickwerks.

The instructions on the wiki look like they say to pull off the ends of the levers and then use a screwdriver to lever out the control panel. I've had a go and nothing seems like it will just pull off. Has anyone else done this and have any advice? Is the whole panel meant to be pulled out?

Thanks
Jane

The levers do pull off but be careful not to snap an end off one of them. You may need to pull hard

Whilst your are there does the bulb behind the control panel illuminate? If not the bulb has gone or you need a new bulb holder which is available from brickwerks. You may as well check for that at the same time :ok

Hi

Thanks - no it doesn't light up so I'll look into that.

can I just check - do you mean just the end bit of the lever should be pulled off? or does the whole lever come out if you pull it?

Thanks

Here's a picture of a heater control end removed. Should give you an idea which part pulls off now..
