Hi all,

Was called out to check why 2 new immersion elements had gone. They both had been replaced recently.

On closer inpsection found the economy 7 immersion cable had melted and caused connections to melt and is irrepairable

Second peak immersion looked fine> Did a insulation resistance and got >500 megohms.

I noticed thermostat had been turned to full.

Could this be what damaged the element
