Shower Chord not working

Hi, the shower pull chord which controls the power to the shower has stopped working. When the chord is pulled it does not switch the switch on that gives the shower power. Any suggestions as to what has happened/ what to do? Thanks

You possibly have a faulty shower switch which must be investigated. I will suggest not to try to switch it on until you've had it checked.

The switch is broken over time from switching on and off they break it is a very common problem

Normally this means the switch needs replacing , the mechanism gets a lot of wear and they do tend to give out eventually.

Simple answer is to replace the Shower pull switch as they cannot be repaired.
General wear and tear is the main cause of the pull switch becoming defective and non-operational. I recommend the purchasing and fitting of a good quality pull switch in order to gain long, safe and reliable operation of your Isolation switch.

the pullcord switch is probably broken but would need to be tested first

First invite a qualified electrician to troubleshoot, it might just have to do with replacing the pull chord
