what's it doing? Is the element making a noise and heating the whole time or is it cutting out?
empty it and let it sit for 10mins to cool.
refill with cold tap water.
when you turn it on listen for the element to sizzle, it should be easy to hear.
if you hear sizzle, monitor and listen for the sizzle stopping, that will be the thermostat turning the boiler off.
I ended up fitting a bypass switch so isolating the thermostat so it didn't switch off.

could it be that one of the elements has failed? Although it appears to be a single element if you look at the pic below you can see that it's 2 linked elements. I could see this leading to it being on, but lacking the power to get above a certain temp
