So, just moved into a place which has Economy 7 electricity and the immersion heater was making some strange noises in the night so I got up and turned the heating elements off.
Anyway, I take a shower this morning and the water is boiling hot…too hot to shower even when on the coldest setting.
Looked at the system and the cold water/expansion tank (black plastic tank above immersion tank) is very very warm…as though it contains boiling water too.
So, my question is…have the element thermostats gone causing the water to boil too much and overflow into the cold water/expansion tank (the settings on the front of the thermostats is set to 60 when I checked quickly this morning).
Can I just check these with a multimeter?
Cheers.
