How to Safely Remove the OPPLE Bathroom Heater Switch

When taking a shower, it's important to turn on the bathroom heater (bath fan). If there's an issue with the switch, it may need to be disassembled. For example, if someone has purchased an OPPLE bathroom heater, here’s how to remove the switch and what to keep in mind while doing so.

How to Disassemble the Bathroom Heater Switch

1. Usually, the switch for the bathroom heater has a waterproof cover on the outside. First, we need to remove this waterproof cover. There’s a small notch on its right side; use a screwdriver to carefully insert it and pry it off gently, which will allow you to remove the waterproof cover.

2. After removing the waterproof cover, you will see two screws on the left and right sides. Simply loosen these screws, and the switch can be directly disassembled.

3. Next, you need to completely disconnect the old switch panel's wires. Then, connect the wires to the new switch panel, corresponding to the relevant terminals. Generally, there are five wires connected to the bathroom heater switch: one for the ventilation, one for the lighting, a live wire, and two wires for heating. Finally, connect them to the new switch panel, then follow the reverse steps to install it, and power it on to check if it's functioning normally.

How to Choose a Bathroom Heater Switch

1. Choose a reputable brand for the bathroom heater switch to ensure at least some level of quality assurance. Moreover, opt for a switch with a good-quality waterproof box; if issues arise after some use, having no safety guarantee is risky.

2. Select a bathroom heater switch with waterproof features, as the heater has a relatively high power consumption. It is essential to choose one that has waterproof properties, considering that when using the heater, water splashes may reach the switch. Without sufficient protection, moisture could enter the switch, posing a risk of electric shock.

3. Consider safety when selecting the switch. The wiring installation requirements are relatively high, so it's better to choose wires with a slightly larger diameter to meet the load requirements.
