pull cord

[jjsblues]

hi i've just broken the pull cord in my bathroom how do i replace

 

[breezer]

depends where you broke it.

if it is right at the exit point of switch, get a new switch

 

[Steve]

otherwise, get a length of string and tie it on!

Most have a little plastic doohickey where you can attach a new cord, if it's broken below there..

i belive its supposed to be a special type of cord not ordinary string, i think both for reasons of electrical isolation and staying in nice condition for the years its going to be there.

Yup - has to be VDE certified and UL rated.

That is such a great word - "doohickey", I've never heard it before, but will be using it from now on.

I looked it up and it means what I would call a"thingymabob". Brillliant. I met a girl from Cornwall once and she said the word is "oomajaflip".

discombobulated is a great word too, not sure what it means. 15 letters long, wow, thats good for me.

It means, "I have been thrown into a state of confusion". Good word, I shall be using that too.

"I have been discombobulated by the doohickey".
