Hello all,
I came back from holiday to find my electric shower was not working i.e. the cord to turn it on was not showing up a red light when pulled. Upon checking the RCD/MCB consumer unit I had put it when I had the shower installed just before the new year I saw the RCD had tripped.
When trying to switch it back on, it simply wont stay up i.e. there is no "catch" when switching it up which leads me to believe the whole RCD unit is shot. I tried turning off all electricity to the house and the switching it to see if that worked, but to no avail.
I guess I'm just looking for assurance that the RCD has gone to electrical heaven and all I need to do is go down to B&Q and get a new one (£60 I saw them going for though - jeeeez)
Any advice would be much appreciated !
