Hi all.
Been to my mother in law s amd she said when she tried using her shower it blew the mcb.
I put the shower in 7 yrs ago with 10 mm t&e.
In the last year the council have been and put in a new consumer unit. After looking the cables that come through the ceiling to the pull switch have melted the insulation and fused together causing the short .
The work got signed off By an electrician 7 yrs ago and the council signed it off a year ago.
She did say the pull switch had been playing up.
Can the pull switch cause the wires to get hot and melt of its fairy
There's not a lot of room For the cables to enter the switch box , I'm wondering if thye have chafed on something while the council were doing there work.
Can the wires be chopped in the loft and a junction box used For running a new piece of cable to the switch and then another to run to the shower.
Cheers
