Hi, I have an immersion heater that has a single element (physically) but is connected to economy 7. On the wall is a switch that states small or large, so I assume this means on small only some of the element heats up
Recently our hot water has not been getting hot, just warm. So that's my first point of confusion the "system" seems to be partially broken. Seems a bit like saying slightly pregnant.
I have tested the stat and that does not appear to be working.
I have tested the element and I am getting a reading of>99.99 I am using A MEGGER 1552 MFT, those who know this kit will know as well as giving a reading it has a open closed circuit indicator when set to Ohms. This indicator keeps switching open to closed and back again when showing the >99.99 reading.
So I am guessing at the moment that my element has gone too. But what I cant understand is why am I getting warm water, if its not working it should be cold. Its been doing this for 3 days so I would have cleared any residual warm water in the tank.
Can anyone advise
