Triton Spellbind TCO fault, replace switch or whole can?

[Timmey]

Hello

Our triton Spellbind had some unstable temperature and flow. Now flow is stable and temperature is constant, but not heated at all. Continuity test shows that TCO is open circuit, so it seems that TCO has failed.

As replacement there are two options: TCO switch or heater can assembly with TCO. The former is £22 later is £100.

Could you please advise if it is possible/effective to replace just the switch or the entire heater can assembly have to be replaced?

Thank you!!

Timmey.

I ordered a replacement TCO from PlumCenter: http://www.plumbcenter.co.uk/product/triton-60tf114-319814-2-stage-thermal-cut-out-round/

You won't find this part in stores but if you order then collect from your local store it takes 48 hours tops.

I fitted mine this morning and the shower now works fine - just make sure there is enough thermal paste left underneath.
