Hi all, would someone with more knowledge of electrics than me (not difficult) be able to tell me if this switch is fused or not? It's supplying a timer switch for an immersion heater, which suddenly stopped working (BTW the cracks evident in the plastic have been there forever, so I don't think they have any relevance....although the switch won't move to the Off position). I cleverly noticed that the little light at the top is no longer illuminated, and unscrewed the switch, expecting to see a fuse on the reverse, but there is nothing obvious. It's in a small cupboard with very difficult access, so before disconnecting the switch with the mains off, I'd prefer to have an idea in advance if I'm looking at simply replacing a fuse or having to get a brand new switch (and if so, what type should I buy?) And, if the immersion heater switch itself had packed up, that wouldn't cause the wall switch supply light to go off - right? Thanks
