Still taking the p!ss.
It most probably has €50 of components on the board including a dedicated IC chip.

Sorry everyone.
The water heater is a 10 litre Truma ultrastore rapid. when I switch the heater on,it trips out.I've checked the PCB with a magnifying glass,there are no breaks in the circuits and the fuse is OK.Just about to check the switch .

Ring Truma Service with your symptoms. They are really helpful

Possibly a heater element has failed.
There's another thread running with similar symptoms.

Thanks to everybody who replied to my post.
It's looking like it's the element .
