Need electrician advice, loose switch on wall socket

4 replies

I have a wall plug socket that was recently replaced. Just noticed today that when I switch it on and off the switch is loose and wobbly. The wall socket is secure but it's the on/off switch that feels loose. It doesn't click nicely.
Is this an easy fix or should I get the electrician back to check it?

I'd be inclined to switch the power off, take it off at the wall and root around myself first. Also try YouTube. 'fix loose rocker switch' or something.

Ever since I accidentally pulled the handle off our bifold doors, (had to leave for nursery pick up imminently, no choice but to try and fix myself) I've realized how many things are actually easy fixes, but the existence of 'the trades' makes us think we have to call them for everything.

Thanks @Bedtimewoes91 I'm not very good at anything electrical so will take a look online. Didn't know the name of it so thanks for that too.

I'd be phoning the electrician that fitted it to come back as somethings not right.

Yes, that'd be the best bet..

Fixing a door handle is one thing, having a 'root around' anything involving mains electricity if you don't know what you're doing is another
