[QUOTE="D Brennan, post: 28885, member: 1437"] Got called out to a fault on a immersion heater 2 weeks ago. Immersion heater that was on was run off a timer which also had a boost button on it, when i got there i did all the usual checks and the electrical side was all fine. told the landlord to send a plumber round to put a new immersion heater in. I went back to connect the new one up & noticed he had put a standard one in so i took the timer off and it is now just operated on a switched fuse with a 13 a fuse in. After one week i gets a phone call and its gone again, i went back did al the checks, there is power to the thermostat but no power out, so i told plumber to change it, i went back reconnected again, all worked. Immersion heater gone again, i goes back checks eveything all ok again, plumber checks imm heater its gone again, he puts a new one in works for another week, today i gets another phone call same problem... Help me? :| any one got any ideas of what it might be?? The original imm heater was longer than the one installed now, could this be the problem and its burning itself out??... but surely the stat would turn it of before this happened. I am going back in the mornig for another look but all ideas help would be appreciated Guiness DrinkGuiness Drink [/QUOTE]
