We have a mains shower that seems to have developed an intermittent fault. I've had ongoing problems with the ceiling pull switch burning out and this seems to be a common problem according to the reviews of the switches on the screw fix site.
It stopped working a week or so ago so had assumed it was the switch again. However when I took it apart the switch tested ok with a meter so reinstalled it making sure the connections were all sound.
Today it's intermittent again. Going into the loft and moving the cable fixes the problem but I'm certain that the connections to the switch are sound. Could the switch have some odd intermittent connection fault, Ie one of the internal connections, that is made good when the cable is moved slightlly. Sounds unlikely to me but I'm struggling to think what else it might be.
Any help appreciated.
