    Spares seem to be widely available.  The manual covers three models so you'd need to check the identification plate for the heater concerned.  That said, the only difference is likely to be that they contain two, three or four elements so the spares are likely to be common to all.
    If a heater doesn't work at all, the fusible link may have failed.

    ..many thanks....whish I had found this out a few years ago!...already trashed one heater as could not find any spares...  :(

    We needed replacement of one of our old style NSH’s a few years ago - decided the investment in a Dimplex Quantum model was worthwhile, and haven’t been disappointed. The additional cost to have the second supply installed to it was insignificant in the grand scheme of things, and the fact that it costs less to run because it actually releases heat only when needed means we’ve made huge savings on running costs since. As and when any of our others need replacing we’ll definitely be going for the same - or currently available equivalent. 
    That sounds great are running costs much higher, I could opt for similar 'upgrade' next year.
    And does your Dimplex offer any more heating control whilst using eco7.
    thanks
