Hello all, I recently had problems with an overheating shower switch where the cable had started to melt....thanks to all who replied. Whilst waiting for Wimpey electrician (new house) to come round i had a look in the loft to see if the cable had melted right back or not......I noticed...

thanks for all your quick replies. There is no pull cord in the bathroom itself, just a switch outside the bathroom (one like a cooker switch to cut both neutral and live i think!!!!?)and it was this that is getting hot. thanks again Trevor

Hello, Wondering if anyone can help with the following:- Switch for electric shower has recently become extremely hot when in use with a smell of burning. The plastic cover has cracked with the heat. I removed the cover to look for a loose wire and found that about 3" of the grey cable...

Great, thanks for your help Adam. cheers Trevor
