kitchen tap on my 1992 elddis

450ct,it won't work unless

Hi Ian,sounds to me like one of the micro switches under the tap body has gone south.

Easy enough to change,should cost you about a fiver.

hi ian,see www.caravanfaultfinder.co.uk for all faults and cures.on the taps sound like you need a new micro switch fitted to it.

Hello ian, the symptoms you describe suggest that you have tap with micro switches built in, and teh one in teh kitchen is faulty. Some models allow you to change the switch. other wise its a full tap replacement job.

i had exactly the same problem with my bathroom tap. it was the micro switch inside the tap base, and often a squirt of wd40 is all it needs. they tend to get stuck.

likely to be the microswitches which may just require WD40 or are easy to replace beneath the tap. When the kitchen tap is ON, the pipe is open but the switch does not activate the pump. When you switch ON the bathroom tap this activates the pump - hey presto water from both taps!
