if just the water get hot then cold then hot... possible the thermistor is near faulty .

SINGAPORE, Dec 12 — An 80-year-old man and his 66-year-old wife died in their flat at Block 120 Ho Ching Road in the Jurong Lakeside district on Thursday.
The police said that they were alerted to a case of unnatural death at 4.15pm and found the couple lying motionless when they arrived at the housing block.
The pair were pronounced dead at the scene by a paramedic.
The couple’s 45-year-old son who had gone to visit them was also in the flat. He was unconscious and taken to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, but later died in the hospital.

The police said that no foul play is suspected and investigations are ongoing.

Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao reported that the older man Omar Manan was taking a shower when he fell in the bathroom. His wife Asmah Bujang went in to help him and both were purportedly electrocuted.

When the son Muhamad Ashikin Omar arrived at the flat with his 15-year-old daughter, he tried to save them and was reportedly electrocuted as well.

the pana DH has a 15mA ELB trip . as stated in the specs.
ELB have been working for many years . and many old houses still have these at their DB .
todays houses they use the RCCB in lieu.


there is a button on the WH front panel ELB Test .
just press this and the power will trip. mean the leakage test works. do this test once every month .
you are good to GO

not sure about toshiba as i only use/ recommend pana WH .
i only know the pana inside and out .

ok..
not sure where the water leak from ?
water leak can check and fix easy ... possible the clamps not tight .

but 2 WH leak ... either he karma bad or installed wrong ....or many other reasons.
i have never seen water leak out of the WH box even the cheap ones.

those WH esp the china made ones which claim inbuilt elcb leakage protection my view is dont trust it.
cos you doing it with your life here.
there must be a Test eclb button to test the elb protection .if not dont buy .

the justification is ECLB , RCCB , ROCB all have a test button to confirm the protection works , Right ?
