Warm plates

[--tom]

Warm 45A shower switch plate, and warm 20A Immersion Heater switch plate ( house been re-wired 5 years ago). I've changed both plates, like for like, and both still slightly warm. Cable feeding the shower is stranded so presume its 6mm or 10mm( how do i tell which one?).2.5 on I/H.
What to do next?

does the shower switch only get warm whilst its in use? providing it is not overloaded, and the cable is big enough for the circuit then i wouldnt worry unless its getting excessive hot. Same with immersion.#

Best bet would be to change to a better make mk or crabtree should do the trick.

steve, thanks for the reply. No the shower switch is only hot in use but the I/H switch was pemanently hot(now replaced) intresingly, the neon had failed at an earlier date.. So i'll take onboard your advice. Thanks again.
