Help! Damsel in Distress!

[RATTY27]

My immersion heater wall switch gets hot when switched on. Water heats OK but switch gets hot. So, until I know what is causing this, I obviously don't use it. Any advice most welcome pls!

Beer o'clock coming up Tel

definitely. later though, about 8 ish. just a couple before ZZZZZZ time.

 

[Midwest]

Is that, you have 8 already, and gonna finish with a couple before bed time. Thought so, with that tetchy rebuff.

 

[Pete999]

Honestly, that amounts to misconduct in a public office

Pig pooh

Nice to see she's got you well trained Middy , my missus won't let me in her kitchen to do anything. Reckons she can't find anything once I've put it away .

It's always beer o'clock somewhere Pete, just depends on the time zone you work to

I can't go into ours in case I leave a mess, and we all know Sparkies, even retired ones are the tidiest folk on this Planet

often see 13A FCUs in this situation. a 20A D/P switch is a far better solution.provided that the immersion is on it's own circuit and protected correctly @ the CU.

I have often come across that. Swapped a few that have even had tinfoil wrapped around the fuse

Know exactly what you mean Pete, mine came up with a cracker earlier. She told me I hadn't cooked Chinese in ages, how can I cook when I'm not allowed in the kitchen ? .

on the whole, present company excepted, if you try to explain anything to a woman that does not involve shoes or handbags, they never listen.

Shoes... you mean work boots? Handbags... never big enough for a decent selection of kit, much prefer a toolbag or rucksack

Hate to say it, but I know exactly what you mean. Used to dread inane conversations about trivial carp like fashion, make-up, diets and the latest series of Celebrity this and that.
