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!

And you're asking is it beer o'clock?

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

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 .

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.
