The over heat on the immersion?
It's a direct cylinder. Any reason why may trip. Other then temperature setting on it being too high? Thanks. Had a quick read mentioned lose wires etc
Thanks between live and neural?Check the element resistance, if its not failed then should read ~ 20 ohms.
Thanks and should be 20ohms if correct? Also is the reset button usually under the cover on the newer elements?Ensure power switched out, remove immersion cover and check resistance across element, if unsure, post a photo with cover removed.
Thanks you test the resistance on the immersion from neutral to the element thermostat point?Could be the stat, a multimeter will soon establish what's wrong.
