:D

Ah, yes, the MK1. Actually looks like a very similar failure to this one (triac, current sensor & opto I'm guessing, but haven't investigated yet).

Luckily U5 is still readable on this one even though one of it's legs has gone: ACS712T 20A current sensor.

And are these faults all caused by excessive hours in diversion mode?

Can you add heat sinks to heat sinks ( bolt on)to give more capacity, or is it easier to rig up fans as others have done?

difficult to say. The one here was closed in a cupboard along with a 3Kw inverter, so maybe high temperature played a part. But it worked ok there for several years.

This is a million to one shot. My immersun has given up the ghost. Seven years old. It suited my needs and I miss it. Had it disconnected for safety but would love to find someone near me who could repair rather than have to replace. Would rather pay a hundred than several hundred in these times. Live South England. Bath area.
Any suggestions please

Hi everyone
As you can see from my photos above I still have issues with getting the immersun working again, would anyone have a working PCB from the same model as mine or one they are certain would work in my model? Thank you all for your help, anyone please?
