i have just moved into a flat that was built in teh 1900s and renovated in 1980. the flat is electic only and has a immersion heater for hot water. heating rooms is done through wall mounted electric heaters.
i switched on the immerser for the second time last night for 30mins. when i switched it off the spur/face of the switch (i dont know the technical terms for the parts) was very warm.
i would say it was similar in warmth to the power supply of a laptop. not enough to burn my hand but very warm to the touch.
is this normal?
after 30mins there was no hot water to wash dishes.
however, we have had it on once before and it did provide hot water and i dont recall the spur/plug/face being warm.
any ideas?
