I have a dual Element 2Kw/3Kw immersion heater installed on the top of my hot water tank. This is wired through a bath/sink switch & has been working fine for last 2 years. However it trips the consumer unit fuse if switch on either setting. I checked the wiring in the switch & all is fine here. I removed the top to reveal the thermostat.
Would it be worth looking at the thermostat first? or will I replace the entire immersion. If I do this, do I need to drain the tank?
The immersion is on the top of the tank. The tank is gravity fed from the attic .
Any help appreciated as my folks are arriving next week & at the moment only the oil fired central heating heats the water..
