Electric Shower

[Joolssq]

Hi All

I've got a strange one, I've just replaced an electric shower because when you turn the shower on, the neon indicator at the switch goes off, and obviously the shower doesn't work, however, like I said I've replaced the shower but the fault remains, any ideas.

Also there seems to be supply on the neutral from the switch to the shower (only when the switch is on), is it likely to be the switch at fault, the cu seems to be wired ok but it's the old rewirable fuses and no rcd.

I'm going back Friday to replace the switch, but it's all trial and error at the moment.

Cheers Julie

especially if it is a Mira LMAO

I fitted a mira for a customer once who insisted i just get on and do the job didn't ask about cost, then i gave him the bill! I thought he was gonna have a heart attack in front of me! :biggrin5:

OP could always hold his hands up, admit he'd goofed, and offer the customer the old shower refitted at no cost, putting the new one into stock, or convince them that the new one is a better unit. give' em the choice.

I would love to be a fly on the wall listening to that conversation.

It's ok, they wanted a better shower anyway, which is what they've got, I've now talked them into a new cu with rcd protection, so they are safe and I am happy

Wait and see what issues arise from the cu change. May need another new shower

your quite the sales person, first a new shower and then a new D B, do they need a new car?

And no explanation as to the "reported" issue after the install of the new shower!

Tut, tut, It looks new, that's all that matters!

Did you at least have the decency to offer a more substantial offering than "the brake light guarantee"? :driving::seeya:

 

[Joolssq]

Been back today, left them with fully working shower, and fully tested and certificated cu.

 

[Joolssq]

To be fair, they did have an electric shower with a 45a switch running off a 30a rewirable fuse, have any of you tried getting a 45/50a rewirable.

Like this one Wylex WY C45 - 45 Amp BS1361 Cartridge Fuse, Holder And Base Un-used | eBay granted its not rewirable but the carrier will fit
Or even better NEW WYLEX 45 AMP TYPE B PUSH PLUG IN MCB CIRCUIT BREAKER P345 PROTEUS SHOWER A | eBay
