Hello good people I am new to this forum and need some help.
Last night the wife pulled the shower ceiling cord switch and all the sockets in the house went out.
I have a mira zest 8.5 electric shower in my home. When I pull the ceiling switch cord to turn it on the RCCB in my split level consumer unit trips off affecting all the MCB's on that side. There are 2x socket MCB's and the shower MCB on the RCCB side of my consumer unit.
My main lights, cooker etc are all on the other side from the RCCB and work fine.
The shower switch pullcord lights up for a while then switches off, sometimes it switches off straight away sometimes only when I turn the shower dial on the shower unit. On the actual consumer unit it is only the RCCB switch that trips 'off' the actual shower and sockets MCB's do not trip and stay 'on'. I can still get cold water through the shower regardless of whether the shower cord is pulled or not.
What is the problem here? Is it the RCCB? Is it the shower ceiling switch or is the heating element in the shower itself? or something more sinister?
How do I fix this?
Thank you gents
