10To advertise call 07858 114061Dave’s top tipsWiring a pull cord switchA pull cord switch is typically mounted to the ceiling, with the pull cord hanging down, most often used in a bathroom or toilet and generally available in two types and ratings:A 6 amp version to control lights or 45 amp version used as an isolator for an electric showerAfter some use and time this type of switch can get a little tired where the switch appears not to function properly as an internal spring can get stuck.The 6 amp switch is usually part of the lighting circuit and is fused in the main distribution unit. It is very important to isolate the electrical supply before attempting any repair to the switch.Ensure the electricity is isolated from the switch by removing a fuse or trip the breaker (MCB)Make a note of the wiring and how the wires are connected to the switch. With the 6 amp switch for lighting, there are usually just two wires to disconnect.It is possible that these will be the same colour, either red or in newer wiring circuits, you may find brown or black or even blue.Loosen the ScrewsUsually a small flat blade screwdriver is necessary to undo the tightening screws and pull the wires free. Then connect new switch doing each wire in turn, tighten the screws and then gently try to pull the wire from each side of the switch, to ensure you have connected it properly.Then making sure you do not kink or trap the wiring, fit the switch to the backing plate and operate the pull cord to check it is functioning properly.RegardsDave Stevens.If in doubt call me (see main advert for number) and I will do the investigating for you.Disclaimer. All advice above is given in goodwill with many years experience. We cannot guarantee however that your problems will be rectified so please, if in doubt call us before undertaking any works yourself.
