magicray · 2010-07-01 19:16:35

Help !! Has anyone ever replaced a pull switch for an electric shower - have a feeling one of the kids swung out of it and loosened everything inside :mad: Anyway I am hoping to either fix it or replace it without an electrician if thats possible

easily enough replaced.just replace like with like.remember to tighten connections fully.these switches are not designed for regular use.just use as an isolator for emergency or servicing of shower.
make sure tripswitch is off.safety first

Thats fine, once the shower isn't running while doing so.
