Thanks for the advice jedi! I thought that might be the case, but I don't understand how resistance can be measured without some sort of electric flow? So do I shutoff the main supply at the main fuse box, or will just leaving the heater switch OFF suffice?

Hello again I've eventually managed to take a photo of the thermostat. As you can see, I don't think there is a switch to reset, so I guess I will have to perform alternative tests. How exactly will I go about meauring the resistance (3kw heater, therefore ~19ohms?) with a multimeter...

I see you're in London Tony - which part? Preferably / possibly PM me? So to clarify, the diag starts at £84, but if the element needs changing, then you'll charge £98 + element?

Do either or both replacing the thermostat and/or element need to be performed by a professional?

There are no burn marks or anything on the switch, but I'm hoping it's the switch as it's a relativel cheap and easy fix. The switch, after 30 misn to an hour, does not get warm (very very mildly) to the touch like it used to. I assume the fact that there's a ligt suggests the unit is OK?

Hello newboy & simond Thanks for the quick replies; sorry, just had dinner! newboy - I think I have a multi-meter; having had a quick look this morning, I can't see that there's a button to push in? Do I need to swicth off te main supply to use the multi-meter? simond - I think the unit is...

Hi I'm hoping an expert here will be able to help diagnose or pinpoint what the problem here is. As titled, our immersion heater is not heating up the water. When we turn on the switch, there is a light, which indicates that power is going through. The fuse at the main box serving this...

Thanks for the replies. From what I can gather, there is only one other stop valve which is downstairs, turning off the cold supply for washing machine and kitchen taps. I can't find any others. It's worth mentioning that there are 2 of these valves upstairs where the immersion heater...

Hi I am looking to sort out both toilets in my home, but it seems both do not have a stop valve near them. The only stop valve seems to be the main supply, located near the hot water heater. I think the stop valve is a 'gate' valve, similar to the one pictured here...
