Immersion switch tripped mini circuit breaker for two weeks but now seems fine.?

Question

My immersio water heater seemed to be tripping my mini circuit breaker when it automatically went on in the morning for about two weeks. I hadn't gotten around yet to tracking down electrician/ plumber to look at it. It seems to be fine now for last 3 days. Any idea why it happened and why its corrected itself now?

Answer 1

IT MAY BE THE HEATER,BUT IT COULD BE THE THERMOSTAT.THE THERMOSTAT IS WIRED INBETWEEN THE HEATER ELEMENTS,TURNING THE HEATER ON AND OFF.NOW IT HAS STOPPED TRIPPING,HOW HOT DOES YOUR HOT WATER CYLINDER GET,IS IT GETTING EXTREMELY HOT?

Answer 2

Get it checked out soon , the heater could be breaking down which could be the cause of the circuit breaker tripping , which is the first signs of your heater is on the way out .
