    Did you check the thermostats as that's the most likely cause? We sell loads of stat kits for these things as they fail all the time and IIRC they're about £12.

    Shorted? You mean you bridged them out?

    Might sound basic but I have a switch on mine (not same make) that switches from cool to warm air.... I had it on cool for ages before I realised ...
