Hi there,
Our electric shower packed in, or at least I thought it had, so I replaced it. It worked at first,then the same problem occurred - turn on shower and isolator led turns off. OK, it was a pants shower anyhow, never mind.
I changed the isolator, which to be honest looks OK. No burnt connectors or plastic, but I cut the wiring back anyhow. Worked OK, then same problem. The protector by the main fuse box doesn't trip.
I can't imagine the main run of wiring suddenly developing a fault, but I'm not an electrician. I figure it can only be the run to the isolator, the RCD for the feed, or the main consumer box - but to be honest anything further than I've already done would be outside my competence, and undoubtedly need to be certified.
Before call someone qualified, could I be missing anything obvious? Any guesses as to possible culprits?
