We've just had an electrician in (bit of a disaster if you saw my other thread) who changed the shower pull cord. The previous cord had jammed and when we put the new switch on the old cable was quite badly melted where it went into the switch (I say we as I was sent up to the loft to push more cable through the hole).
The new switch worked for a couple of weeks but then it started to get really stiff - I've managed to get in to switch on today and then the shower went off. I assume that the 30A fuse on the (old) consumer unit has blown as the light on the switch is no longer coming on.
However when I've taken the fuse out, I've noticed a wire going across the two terminals - should this be there - it looks a bit strange:

Failing this I'm assuming the 45A switch itself could have blown?
Does this sound like it is a fault with the shower itself? Not really sure of my next step - I don't want to this electrician back in my house!
