HAve hot water cylinder that have changed the immersion. However have changed it over still not working. Have 240v going through the element and all seems correct but still no hot water

Did you check the immersion spur switch? Could be loose neutral wire there or can be inside the switch.
Remember the switch (2 pole) will have 2 switches actually inside and one of them can be faulty.
Also check at consumer unit or another switch that might be elsewhere.
Use a multi meter

Easy way to tell at the stat
Live to neutral 240
Live to earth 240
Then test the element
Done that and tested the element 19.3
Left it for 30 mins and was stone cold .
Must be something deeper caused by power cut
Would that still give him 240v to immersion?

Volts ?
Ohms test on a immersion heater is a waste of time IMO
Any reason? I thought this proved if the element was good or not?
I used to subby for Kingspan , in my experience they work or they dont , I have put them in with ridiculously low or high readings and they still work.
If anything if they didnt read right they tended to be noisy , poor insulation I think .
Golden rule with any immersion heater as the ultimate test , wire it up to a plug and put it in a socket, if it works you look towards stat, programmer , spur switch etc etc.
Good idea that
240V/19ohm = 12amp, not 12kW. Power = 240^2/19 = 3kW, about right for an immersion.if the immersion is 19 odd ohm then thats around 12 ish KW which means it ok. I would be looking at the integrity if the wiring. The golden rule with electrical work is knowing what your doing
thats what i meant lol240V/19ohm = 12amp, not 12kW. Power = 240^2/19 = 3kW, about right for an immersion.
Thought sothats what i meant lol
