Hello,
I have had 3 different electricians in to look at my immersion heater (it's a manco combination cylinder) but none have come up with a solution.
In July the water went luke-warm. Thermostat showed signes of burning. He replaced the element and thermostat. Since then, it heats the water properly but the neutral wire connection gets exceedingly hot within seconds of the immersion being switched on, which is why the neutral wire keeps burning off. Another electrician replaced the wire from the clock to the element but the neutral connection is still red-hot.
Any answers please? It's not nice being relaint on a kettle!
