Hello all,
My immersion heater has recently been temperamental giving both hot and cold water when turned on.
I originally thought the problem was the immersion heater element given that the switched fuse it ran from was ok. I 'knew' this because the pump to the power shower is also wired into this fused box and worked fine.
So I diagnosed the problem as the element itself. I have bought a new one and installed it no problems (although it was a nightmare removing the old one - as many other posters have experienced).
For the first day or so I had hot water on demand but now it is temperamental again. Note that when the central heating is turned on we get hot water no problems.
So is it the electrics even though my pump works just fine from the fuse box?
Cheers
