Hi Guys
Have a problem with my electric immersion boiler and am looking for some help
The boiler is for hot water only, our heating is provided by electric storage heaters
The boiler has 2 elements I think one is for the boost (regular electricity) and the other is for the economy seven
We normally have the boiler on for 4 hours each night
Woke up the other morning to no hot water
I tried to turn the boiler on with the boost however this did not work
First i changed both thermostats for new this did not fix it
Next i removed the control panel, there was some light scorching on the circuit board I replaced this with a new Horstmann Economy 7 Quartz Timeswitch (the system was fitted with one of these originally)
The boost function works now however the economy 7 does not appear to be functioning correctly
The boiler now comes on for approx 10 seconds then powers down (you can hear it starting to heat the water then it goes off) this happens every 10 mins or so
Any ideas what could be causing this?
The thermostats are set to a factory position could these by set incorrectly for the boiler?
could the elements be on the way out?
