Ariston 65115135 Heating Element 3000W 220-240V

This is a 3000W immersion-style heating element rated for a 220-240V supply, manufactured by Ariston and supplied under part number 65115135. It is the component that converts electrical energy into heat inside the appliance's water circuit, raising the stored or circulating water to the temperature demanded by the control thermostat. It sits within the Ariston range of electric heating and hot water products, where it is classed by the supplier alongside other Ariston miscellaneous spares.

• The appliance runs but the water stays cold, or heats far more slowly than the thermostat setting suggests.
• The element trips the RCD or blows the circuit fuse as soon as power is applied.
• A continuity or resistance test across the element terminals reads open circuit, or reads a value well outside the expected range for a 3000W load.
• Visible scaling, blistering, cracking or a swollen sheath on the element body when it is withdrawn.
• Water weeping from the element flange or gasket area, often accompanied by a smell of hot mineral deposits.

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number from the data badge, then match the part number 65115135 against the manufacturer's parts listing for that model.
• Check the physical condition of the element flange, gasket and sealing face, and order a replacement seal if the existing one is compressed or perished.
• Note the alternative number 1596205, which may appear on older documentation or on the component itself.
• Isolate the electrical supply and drain the appliance before removing the element; this is an electrical part and must be fitted by a competent person.
