Question about Economy 7 hot water cylinders

[jones82]

Hi

I recently replaced the bottom immersion on an economy 7 cylinder. After installing I tried to test the immersion using my multi meter. The fuse spur leading to the immersion has a time clock mounted on the face. I switched this to continuous, nothing.

I removed the face of the fuse spur / time clock and checked for power in the patress box. Nothing.

My thoughts are either the breaker had blown or the fuse spur only comes live during the night, on the cheaper economy 7 rate.

I've recommended the landlord contact an electrician. I'm a plumber, I've done the wet work draining the cylinder and fitting the new immersion.

I've mostly worked on new installations or in-direct cylinders.

Thanks
