Immersion Heater Rod Thermostats Tripping Off.

Zoomup

Has anyone had incidences of rod 'stats tripping off by the back-up safety cut off with no apparent reason. The copper cylinders had no secondary heating that could overheat the water such as a coil heated by gas or oil.

    Its a long while since i replaced an immersion heater stat. However i do remember when the safety high limit inbuilt stat thingy came in it was a right old pain in tge neck with the high limit stats tripping on non overheated circuits. I concluded that perhaps the setting of them was a bit too sensitive. Im talking top fed 18 inch rod stats here
