I am having similar problem with my economy 7 immersion water heater tank. My property is all electric & approx 15 yrs old.
I have a problem when I go to switch on my immersion heater that it immediately trips the house fuse box.
My immersion heater has 2 switches, one for immediate use & one for the timer.
The problem seems only to occur when I press the switch on for the immediate use, but does not trip the house fuse box when left on just the timer switch is on.
The water is being heated at night on timer, but seems to be very hot the following day, and ocassionally when heating during night the water makes a noise like a kettle boiled loudly before switching off.
I have had an electrician around and the person concluded that it was probably something to do with the element on the immersion heater.
Can this be right, as it is heating water correctly when just the timer switch is on and not tripping the house fuse box ??
Can I, an amateur attempt to change element and or thermostat & How??
