anyone know why immersion thermostats would keep failing,had about 3 in last six monthw,the tank is smaller than a normal one,shorter and thinner,first problem was only the top 9" of the tank was getting warm and it had already had a couple of thermostats,
it's for a freind who rents the house, so i took the element out and it seemed a bit short for the lenght of tank.not being a plumber i advised him to get one to check it,he thinks the plumber fitted a new longer element and new thermostat.
got a call saying no hot water again and he could'nt get the plumber out,so asked if i would have another look,the reset button had popped out of the new thermostat,i clicked it back in and said see how it goes,but there must be a reason it has overheated,anyone any ideas why he's having these problems.
