Shower Switch Not Working? Here’s How to Fix It

When the shower switch at home is damaged after long-term use，it needs timely repair。Let’s take a look together。

How to Fix a Broken Shower Switch

1、First，when the shower switch is damaged and needs to be repaired，you should turn off the main water supply valve at home。Then，pry off the decorative cap on the shower switch handle。Use tools to unscrew the screws，and you can then remove the handle。Typically，you can unscrew the handle by rotating it twice。During the disassembly process，be sure to keep the removed screws safe to avoid losing them。

2、Next，you need to remove the decorative cover，which may require some force。Then，use tools to take off the cap nut。After removing the cap nut，the exposed part is the valve core，which is an important part of the shower switch。

3、Now，you should take out the damaged valve core。After that，rinse the installation area of the valve core with clean water to wash away any internal impurities。Once cleaned and ensuring that the surface is free of debris，you can install a new valve core of the same specification。When installing，make sure to align it with the hole properly。

4、After securing the valve core in place，you can reinstall the cap nut，rotating it clockwise until it can no longer turn。Finally，install the handle back onto the water outlet of the hot water pipe and tighten the screws。Don’t forget to reattach the decorative cap。

5、If the shower in your home is still under warranty，you can also call the shower brand or merchant’s customer service number to have a professional come and help with the repair。For safety reasons，it is recommended to have a professional assist with repairs。
