Electric Shower Power Issue (Triton Madrid II)

[nbellyjnr]

Hoping someone can help me here.

Today I turned on the electric shower (Triton Madrid II) but it didn’t power on. The isolator switch light turns on initially but the light turns off when I turn the shower to any power mode. The LED power indicator on the shower does not turn on at any point.

No fuses have tripped and there is water supply to everywhere else in the house (bathroom taps are working). It was absolutely fine yesterday and it doesn’t appear to be a loose connection. The fuses aren’t tripping.

Any ideas?

I am having a kitchen fitted at the moment and the tradesmen finished up yesterday. And is it likely just a coincidence that this has happened when the tradesmen were out (they obviously turned water mains off for the tap)?

Thanks

Loose connection in isolation switch or faulty switch?

Yes, classic indication of a bad connection. Usually at the pull switch (you may have noticed a fishy smell) but could be one of the connections in the consumer unit.
Did your tradespeople do any electrical work?

I’ve had an issue with the pull switch in the past. It was replaced but it could be that again. I’ll look into it.

They did do electrical work (oven, hob etc.) although most of that was done a few weeks ago. It was really just plumbing work that was done yesterday. I had thought it was coincidental this issue has coincided with their attendance.

Thanks

Fuses don’t trip, they rupture but I bet you don’t have fuses anyway.

The resident pedant returns with his usual lack of assistance.

Not pedantry but truthful information. The assistance has already been provided.

Yes. Assistance has already been provided. Yet again you just had to add something that added NO VALUE.
I suppose you are just trying to make yourself look clever, or to make the OP think they have said something wrong.

It’s been lovely for the last few weeks without you bleating on with pointless digs.

He did say something wrong didn’t he? But at least he now knows his mistake. And he can learn which is the point of these forums.
