[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 371995, member: 6969"] If the NEW element also gives those readings, then you have got a second dud element. but are you measuring that with the bare element, OR with the element connected to the controller. If the latter the problem is more likely to be in the controller. Don't forget if you have only isolated via the MCB, then N will still be connected and will read almost 0 ohms to earth You need to disconnect properly to make any meaningful measurements. Just a silly question, the towel rail is filled with water isn't it? I had to replace an almost new element as the owner had installed the towel rail and not filled it with water. then wondered why it didn't get hot )perhaps just slightly warm in the corner where the element was) and then not for long (the element burned out) [/QUOTE]
