What This Part Does
The rocker switch turns the heater's supply on and off at the appliance, and the neon light inside the rocker shows at a glance that the heater is switched on. Years of daily use and the warmth of a storage heater wear the switch contacts and the neon, so the switch can fail to turn the heater on, stop lighting, or work only some of the time.
Common Fault Symptoms
- The heater will not switch on, or will not switch off
- The neon light in the switch no longer glows when the heater is on
- The heater only works when the switch is held or wiggled
- The rocker is cracked, stiff or loose in the panel
- There are signs of heat or scorching around the switch terminals

Please check your appliance model number and compare the original part before ordering.
Repair Difficulty
Moderate. Storage heaters are wired into the fixed electrical supply, and many have two supplies (off-peak and boost or daytime). You will need to isolate every supply, remove the control panel cover, unclip the old switch and move its wires across to the same terminals on the new one. We recommend a qualified electrician if you are not experienced with fixed wiring.
Typical Tools Required
- Screwdrivers to remove the control panel cover
- Voltage tester to prove the supplies are dead
- Phone camera to record the wiring before removal
