Hi,
I have just installed a new immersion heater and wired it up. Neutral to element, live to thermostat. The wire from thermostat to element (already fitted in unit) is slowly melting/cracking as it is getting hot. Any ideas. I assumed that wire should be able to cope with current in circuit. All other cables are ok. Heater is a 27 inch incolloy element BEAB approved safety system, E9573.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
