Remove
the metal disc on the large round plastic assembly where the cable
enters.
Inside
it will be a thermostat. About 1 inch square with an adjustment dial in the
top.
They have a long rod which pokes down into the tank. It could be that
either the
thermostat is faulty or it is just set way too high.
The
strap on thermostats are for controlling boilers and probably cant handle
enough
current without a relay.

I've
been using one to switch my IH as well.
However, it only gets used
in
the summer months - so it's probably
only switched a few hundred
times.
Keith, what you say about Thermostats is interesting.
One
problem I
have is that my immersion produces boiling hot water - ie.
almost too
hot to shower under. There is no obvious thermostat on
my
tank, and
I was of the opinion that immersion heater elements had no
thermostat
and were always on. I was thinking of buying a
"strap-on"
(oops!)
model that fits around the tank, but is there a another way
of
"regulating" the immersion element? Do they have some sort of
setting internally?
