Changing immersion thermostat setting

    I've been unable to find good quality immersion switches (this will be my third) as they keep failing on the sink/bath switch (contacts fusing together).

    The water has been way too hot and I guess I should have lowered the stat ages ago but upon opening the cover I don't understand the marked settings on the stat.

    It's a bit hard to see in that image, here is what the markings say:

    -............+.....[single dot].....[double dot]

    What is the -+ range (constant temp no thermo?)???
    What do the single and double dots signify???

    Turn the stat anti clockwise slightly and try that out.

    Have you a timer on the immersion or is it left on or even used a lot?

    -minus will lower the stat so should help.

    That small directional arrow (currently pointing to 7 o clock ), move it to 2 o clock and try that out. Probably the approx equivalent to 60'C or thereabouts.
