Replacing Microswitch in Tap

[thornaaa]

I think my Microswitch has gone but I can't get the top of the tap off to check it. Does anyone know how to take this tap apart? I've tried to lift up the blue cover but doesn't seem to be possible

You probably need to get in underneath.

You can do it from above if the cable has not been tyraped to tight.
1. Lever out the plug in the centre of the tap handle, it will get damaged, I just used a rubber blanking grommet instead.
2. Undo the screw and pull the handle off.
3. Pull the tap arm sideways, it will come off, don’t loose the O ring.
4. Lift off the round cover to reveal the mechanism and switch.
5. Gently pull the switch out of the housing and pull the cables up to get to the connector.
Assemble in reverse order.

Thanks very much for the help, I've got it working again now
