Got asked to have a look at a “warm shower switch”. Off I pop. This is what I found
What I thought was going to be to be a re-termination - turned into something different.

- Burnt terminations - smells like fish and it stinks
- Damaged cabling by trying to force the 6mm back into the back box
- Not earthed
- Exposed neutral
- Polarity reversed
What I thought was going to be to be a re-termination - turned into something different.
- New switch from wholesaler
- Redo the damaged cables in the switch, exposed conductors - careless when screwing the faceplate back on I’ll bet.
- Extend neutral cable in the shower unit
- Reverse the reversal
- Connect the CPC which was never connected in the 1st place.
