    Lol! If the tank's servicing would have picked up on this inherent fault, then I'm a Dutchman.
    Soz - that's racist.
    I'm a Dutchwoman.
    Soz.. oh heck...

    They are supposed to be serviced annually but I never met anyone who bothered until there was a problem so don't worry about it.
    Sorry I can't think of anything profound, clever or witty to write here.

    What is involved in a "service"?

    No idea, it’s news to me that I was supposed to service it 😂🤷‍♀️
  • I don't know either, but I suspect it'll be things like; any leaks? Tundish? Air bubble at an ok level? Safety discharge valves working fine? That sort of stuff.
    I think I can say with nigh-on complete certainty, that they would not have checked the security of the wiring screw terminals.
    Ok, they may have noticed scorching at an earlier stage - if it had been visible - but I doubt they'd have done anything that would have prevented FBb's issue.
