Electric wall socket fault

[masona]

Just replaced another MK double wall socket again.The switch won't switch on like a springing action.What causing this ? Is it something simple to repair or chuck it away ?

I know what you mean.
Sometimes giving it a whack does the trick.
I have a light switch that gives me stick, I just hit the button hard it when it starts to spring.

But either way, hitting it is a bodge, and its probably best to replace it.

i wouldn't advise hitting it, but do change it

And I always thought MK was supposed to be the DeeBee's, prefer crabtree meself.
