Thanks, stem. I think that the thermostat with the trip was actually the daytime one, as it started working after I pushed it back, and it was 19:30. It's possible that the off-peak immersion wasn't working because of a defect in the switch (which I replaced). Now both seem to be working fine...

And to conclude here, the problem was that the immersion heater tripped and pushing back the button solved it. Thanks so much for the help finding out, I'd have never found this on my own! I'm going to keep an eye out for further issues, it could be a sign that one or both of the immersion...

good point, let me edit that for clarity. I actually like neons, especially since one of the switches is only active at night, it's useful to know when it's on.

That makes sense. There are two switches, and on one of them, the red neon light was off, and the immersion heater did not work. I thought i had done things incorrectly but if the electricity only flows at midnight, then the neon light will turn on later tonight and the bottom heater should...

Thanks for the help! I'm hearing some noise coming from the cylinder and the pipes are getting warmer. Something has restarted! I suspect that there is no timer, despite the boiler being a special economy 7. It is 19:31 at the time of writing this, and it should have started to heat at...

Right, so I've got two new switches to replace those ones, which had dead neons: I think that I've found the tiny knob (circled below). It was popped out, I've pushed it back. I'll have to wait until midnight to see if that did the trick. Here's the other immersion head. I can't find...

I'll try that out if there's a button on the immersion, thanks!

right, thanks again. So here's my check list for later today 1. replace the fuses and check the wiring 2. check the thermostat 3. check the timer IIUC, if all checks out, it's likely that the immersion heater needs to be replaced.

Ok, thanks. Is there a way to check the thermostat without a multimeter?

Thank you. There is no leak, fortunately. The system stopped heating the water yesterday. I've changed the fuse of the control switch, to no avail. I'll look when I'm back home for the rest of the wiring and the timer. I just watched that video showing how to replace the immersion heater. I...

Ah, thanks for the explanation. Let me edit the post to be more accurate.

Hi everyone, Thank you for a great forum. I'm trying to find someone to fix my hot water issue and get a recommended plumber. The only visible part of my heating system is the cylinder pictured below. A Google search indicates that Super Seven cylinders were built by Kingspan, but I've...
