The above fan heater works fine for a few minutes and the cuts out. I have cured this fault a few times by thoroughly cleaning it out. However. I have cleaned it twice very recently and it persist in cutting out
How can I reset the thermal fuse on my Dimplex FX20 heater. It is 25 years old. Martin

These types of heater have a thermal safety cut-out to prevent overheating. If we make the assumption that this thermal cut-out has not developed a fault, your problem is probably a lack of air flow.
In general, this type of heater needs to be installed at least 600mm (2 feet) down from the ceiling to ensure a good air flow through heater. If yours is fitted closer to the ceiling than this, I'd suggest moving it down to solve the issue.
The next step would involve changing parts if all the intakes and fan blades are dust free, so may be better replacing with a new heater.
