Default Strange immersion heater stat?

Hi All,

I was round the Mother in law's yesterday and she mentioned that the
hot water has been very hot since my brother in law changed the
immersion heater or stat (we weren't sure which) a little while ago.

I hade a nose in there and it looked like (difficult to get at) the
temp settings went (clockwise) 60, 50, 70 and 80 deg C?

Was this right or was I seeing things?

I'd check again, with a torch and more stuff emptied out of the a\c!

As I couldn't see easily I turned it 'down' (fully anticlockwise) but
later thought I heard the immersion on quite hard (kettle heating up
type noises) even though the cyl was still pretty hot from before?

As has been mentioned, it sounds like that when it's heating up to any
temperature. No need to be concerned unless it's really making a din.
