And a thermostat to work with it?


The current immersion heater doesn't have one.


Are you sure about that?

Power off and lift the metal cap covering the immersion connections to
the tank.

Have a look and I am sure you will find a non working stat dial under
the cover.

A job for tomorrow!


There is probably nothing more than a nut on a threaded bar holding down
the metal cover.

But before I get to that there's a mountain of 'stuff' to remove. Enough
spare laundry for a medium sized hotel. OK, a small hotel!

When you open it you will see (if it is that old) why I said power down
before removing the cover.

I seem to remember the presence of a bunch of unprotected terminals from
the last time I looked many moons ago.
