[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

I have just booked an appointment with my doctor as my sides have split because that was so funny

Do you get Private Healthcare with the Groovy Gang, no wonder there are so many members.

I am so so sorry, what does that mean? It only does the water and not the heating if that what you mean

Can you confirm a) is the kettle plugged in, b) is it switched to the ON position?

 

[Hyperion]

PM me if you want to

Does this help

Did time team dig that up for you ?

 

[Hyperion]

Exactly. But it has always worked superbly so I have never bothered changing it

Its an emersion heater. Switch it off and then back on again. If you put your ear to the tank you should hear a buzz. If that's the case then the element (what's under the black cover) is ok and still working. If not then it could be the wiring from the switch or the emersion itself.

Have you checked the fuse board to make sure its not tripped?

Hot water is for wimps. I like mine icy.

Sounds like an immersion heater to me. Which is just like a big electric kettle element in a tank. Can only be two things. 1. there is a circuit breaker ( Fuse ) that has tripped or 2. the element is broken. The circuit breaker you can check yourself, in the fuse box. If it's the heating element in the hot water tank then that needs replacing by a plumber.

Just seen the picture..... its an immersion heater, as above.

It's the non-Groovy Gang members who get the freebies.

Hehehe. Well, to be honest if it was something quite simple like advice previously given, of course I may have got lucky. ..... But yes a bleeding Plumber it is

It could be the heater thermostat that's failed which dosen't need a plumber.

Plumbers can do the job as long as you turn a blind eye at the time ------- plus they are cheaper than 'Sparks'

Plumbers & Electricians can fit Immersion Heaters ---- its a sort of crossover of skills.
However both can get into trouble with trying to drain down the cylinder and get the old heater out or wiring up the heater.
I've done both for 39 years and now have trouble with the crap thermostats that come with the heaters.

Thank you everybody for your help [MENTION=409]Herr Tubthumper[/MENTION] thanks for the making me chuckle
