westfalia tap/micro switch problem

Post by **lambrettalee** » 19 Aug 2007, 13:19

i have a tap on our westy that decides to turn its self on every now and again ,when im driving along i can hear it buzzing away behind me, i have disconected the live at the pump for the minute to stop it doing this, im guessing its a micro switch on the tap its self as if you turn the tap on and off it stops, are these a pig to change as it looks a bit tight in there???and are caravan taps etc the same....

dont know about westy taps.but when this happened on mine.i pulled the knob off.and gave the micro switch a squirt of wd40 and that solved it...

There is a microswitch, it`s on the bottom of the tap unit in the cupboard. It may be a standard type so a caravan place would have `em. Otherwise you can get a complete new tap with switch etc from Gunzl, not expensive either. There are two types, so look for the right one.

i thought that maybe the case is there room in there without taking any thing out, and getting a pair of shovel hands in???, its p*ssing down outside so i havent had a look
