  • Help.

    I’m in deepest, darkest Cornwall, at my in laws holiday house and the hot water is fucked.

    It’s a tank and there doesn’t appear to be power to the bottom element. The booster element has power. The light on the the switched spur for the bottom one does not light. No fuse in the spur. No breakers tripped.

    Electrician time?

  • It's either a fucked element or a tripped element.
    For the latter, there should be a small hole on the outside of the element (pretty small, probably need a matchstick or slimmer) to poke in it, this can reset the trip.

    If that doesn't work, it's the former.

    I've had a plumber replace it previously (whilst on another job with me) prior to that the landlord sorted it out fucked ones.
