Ask your QuestionWhy doses the pull cord in the bathroom not switch the light on
Asked by Linda on 25th Jan 2021"Hi
Thanks for choose our website to full fill your needs.
So the problem can be with the switch it self or the light (bulb) so in this case you need electrician to check and sort it out for you.
Thanks"
"Could be that the contacts inside are worn or broken or it could be a wiring issue or a faulty light."

Answered on 27th Jan 2021 - Member since Jan 2021 - report"If it’s been an ongoing constant issue it could be a loose connection either at the light or at the pull switch or cross connected cables at the light or switch"

Could be as simple as a loose wire with the unit?
Do all the other lights come on in the house?"
"Possible broken switch or it could only be wired to the electric shower"
Answered on 28th Jan 2021 - Member since Oct 2020 - report"This fault could be one of two things, a loose connection inside the switch itself or the switch could have been damaged from a power surge & needs to be replaced."

"Many reasons...
Maybe the lamp has blown, maybe the switch mechanism has broken, a loose cable in either the light connection or in the switch itself"
