My shower was working fine this morning for my girlfriend. However when I went to use it after her, it seemed to have no power at all.
It is an electric shower, and it has a pull-chord power switch affixed to the bathroom ceiling as well as a power button on the shower itself.
When I pull the chord to provide power to the shower, the LED indicator on the box to which the chord is attached does not turn on any more. The first thing I thought was that the fuse has gone, so I changed it but no joy.
Oddly though, if I pull the chord so it is in the ON position, then press the ON button on the shower, the LED on the pull-chord unit lights up - but the shower itself doesn't do anything.
My limited knowledge in this area tells me that if power is getting to this unit at all, the fuse is OK, so I assume the problem is with the shower itself or the pull chord box.
Does anyone know where I might start it tracing this issue?
In case it helps, I heard that using the pull chord to turn off the shower is bad and can cause electrical problems - we don't do this so that can be ruled out.
