[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 499230, member: 1408"] I've had one or two where lights keep failing etc and you're obliged to keep going back . etc. I was reminded of this this morning . My neighbour's two doors down , I think over about twenty years I've replaced his immersion heater three times , one was for the previous owners , and replaced many stats. So I replaced the heater last August 2019 , then he announced there was a ticking noise but not to worry about it . I suggested it was expansion as the cylinder heated up , never went round . Last Monday its a cold cylinder , I was busy this week so described , switch off , try pushing the cut-out button down ...... OK ! Great its working ! Tuesday , its packed up again , ticking is heard all over the house :C . Still busy , I pick up a stat and go round this morning Saturday, yes the stat ticks like a demented time bomb for 10 mins , but full current onto the element ....then pops up again , Brown on the new flex turned brittle , connection sound . New stat , new flex all is quiet on the Western Front . For now . I've spent hours in that airing cupboard over the years . Will it ever let me go ????? [/QUOTE]
