A simple way to test the output stream, one lamp or other device in the socket. If the machine is running, exhaust gases is obviously not the problem. If the socket is no electricity, may have led to the breaker or fuse has blown. You can do it yourself or have it inspected by a qualified electrician.

If the outlet is working, the chances of heating is broken and you need to buy a new one. The basic design of the radiator has not changed much over the years.
