Immersion Not Heating Water

    Hi,

    Our immersion has stopped heating water when we use either the Sink/Bath switch in the hot press. The light comes on the switch so the electricity to the immersion isn't a problem but no hot water. We get hot water after the GFCH has been on for a while but not when we use the Sink/Bath switch.

    Does anybody know what could be causing the Sink/Bath switch to not heat any water?

    I think it's a standard enough immersion system with a Myson thermostat.


    Thanks.

    The problem sounds like it is the immersion,on some types there is a little reset button on the thermostat itself,if you remove the cover to get into the electrics you'll see the thermostat (two cables going into it),if it has the button press it or else the thermostat could be knackered,also try turning the the arrow dial up if it is set too low

    OP pls isolate the circuit before u start taking off the cover

    Tangent... What's the wiring code for an immersion element? what colour is "Bath" vs "Sink" etc?

    Cheers

    There is no definite wiring code for this,you can either use the brown for sink and black for bath once it is wired that way in the immersion switch

    Surely the wire colours on an immersion element are standardised no?

    How can you tell which to connect to the "bath" feed vs the "sink" feed if there's no standard?
