that would be strange, as the thermostat would not need to work if the water was not flowing. It is only when the water flows that the heater switches on, then the thermostat operates to control the temperature. So both of those controls would need to fail at the same time. i.e. the pressure switch would need to tell the heater to switch on, even though the water is not flowing, then the thermostat would need to fail. Even then, there is an overheating switch that would cut the electrics, and a breaker for bad earthing

hmmmm

yes, the ELCB is made in the UK, not the whole heater
