There's mention on line of a battery [ AA] that needs replacing sometimes.
There's a wealth of info on line if you're able to google the particular model.

Think the battery is for the ignition

Does the red light on the “space heater switch “ illuminate when you switch it on ?

 

[matt34]

On the thermostat do u mean there’s a green light, no lights on heater there isn’t one

The main power switch for the heater . Should be in the wardrobe behind the heater. Is this switched on ?They do the a while to get warm once you switch in on . It’s not instant heat like a portable heater .

They have an element behind the heater

 

[matt34]

Yeah main switch is on

You are correct.

Has the RCB tripped? If no RCB for that circuit, might there be a fuse? I don't remember any lights on ours either, when we had one in our caravan.
Ours had a double heat setting on a cream coloured wall switch, ie, 1Kw & 2Kw ............. or similar outputs.

Good luck sorting it out.

Cheers,

Jock.
