Plumbers?? Immersion heater stat test !!Where's Tiff?
Hot water went off a couple of weeks ago, new stat fitted. Hot water back.
Hot water gone off again, just changed element - not working!!
checked with meter, element has 19 ohms (which is good for a 3kw so I've found) The old element is also the same.
240v through the stat to the post with the brown wire attached.
no heat though
any ideas?

I dont think so, the neutral is connected directly to the element, the live goes straight to the stat, then from the stat to the other post of the element.

Holy jesus!! There's a bloody trip switch on it!!!
Just took the old stat apart and found it has a trip switch built in
Now, why would it trip? overheating??
