Thank you, was a broken switch! Checked the fused spur and the input was the correct figures, but the output (spur to the element) was showing figures stated in my original post. Thanks. As mentioned before one plumber had a neon screwdriver which made me lose faith straight away, while the...

That makes a lot more sense I've just been to an electrical store with my old switch and got a new one. The old switch was fused for some reason who ever wired it up put one in. It does look ancient. I now have - 240v L-N and 0 N-E and a hot pipe. Thanks to everyone who provided useful...

I've pulled it apart and it says 13/20 amp 250v. I can't seem to find anything on screwfix that says it's 20a with a fuse. They are all plain switches only from what I can see. The only fused ones are marked as 13a. Swapping this should be plug and play once I find the right part, my problem...

I was thinking about joining the two neutral wires together to see if it would then work. I've checked the wires and they are all tight with plenty ofcontainer so I'm assuming if I join the two neutral wires together and it works I'll need a new switch? If so I'll pop down somewhere like...

I was/am more than happy to pay anyone to fix and I have been happy to since day one, not having hot water is horrible. I did not give off any impression of that sort to either of them. One plumber came in with a torch and neon screwdriver to hand only, tapped the connections and said 'there's...

That a very helpful post thank you. I did think about bypassing the switch to see if that was the problem as you have said, but wasn't sure about the safety of it being mains. I won't leave it like this as it will be without the fuse. I did take the switch apart yesterday there was no...

I don't think it's a wiring error as it was working for 6 months up until the day it died and I haven't touched it at all since being in the house. The cables look new from the switch to the element but the wall switch itself looks a bit older so I'll give that a swap and see where that gets me...

Hi, I've bought a house and been here a year now but the immersion heater is not working now. It randomly stopped one day so I bought a new element/stat and swapped them over. It's a basic cylinder with a single element entry at the top. I've replaced it of a similar element of the same size...
