Bathroom taps

[Bcollinson]

We have a 65 plate hymer t780sl. Kitchen taps and shower taps working fine.
Bathroom tap not working. Pump doesn't run. I suspect pressure switch gone u/s.

Any advice? Is there a YouTube clip we can watch?

It will be the microswitch in the top of the bathroom tap. No pressure switch on that system.

Had the same, wire from the microswitch broke. Easy fix if you can wield a soldering iron, search youtube for motorhome tape repair, there are a few videos.

Help with faulty tap on Hymer

The tap in the bathroom is not working and I believe the micro switch is faulty. The kitchen tap is working and activating pump. Please can you advise me on how to strip down tap to access micro switch. I can see an Allan key screw on rear of tap. I assume you remove hot/cold cap shown in...

Firstly check it's that tap. Open another tap slightly then open problem tap. If u get water it's definitely suggests that taps microswitch has had it.
You are going to have to get the tap up off its seating. Usually a big nut underneath. U might then be able to see a broken wire but more likely u will have to take the tap apart.
I remember reading on here you can get replacement microswitches 'use search'

Yes. Water flows perfectly from kitchen and shower and pump runs fine when using those taps.
I suspect pressure switch not working.

There is no pressure switch.

If you have a pressure switch and it wasn't working no tap will work. It will be as said a micro switch. Looking under the tap will confirm. If there are wires there's a switch.

On my Adria Twin no need to remove the tap. The lever to control the on/hot/cold came off by pressing the indent then I was able to tease the wires out and repair.

Update
Turns out it's a Reich tap. Not able to fix it without replacing tap. Costing£120 for tap and £95 per hour for labour. So likely north of £250.

So,,, it's only a switch. The tap is fine. And we only brush teeth and wash hands in there. I installed a chrome push switch under the sink inside the door. So, with the tap open we can get water by pressing the push switch. Perfect, and cost £4.99 off Amazon.

My tap was a Reich as well. Of you search for ”reich tap microswitch replacement” on YouTube there are videos for various models. Most likely broken wire rather than micro switch though. Good fix meantime.

Just seen this post….. I have just posted the same problem in my Burstner…..!

It’s a post election conspiracy…!!!

The Reich tap microswitch is £20. I have replaced one twice. I have posted on a previous thread about this and how to change. A bit fiddly.

As mentioned by others, most likely a broken wire near the switch and you may be able to solder it in position.
I’ve also fitted non latching switches out of sight near both kitchen and washroom taps for when ( not if) the wire breaks
