A 45A celing isolation switch for a shower that I got from Wickes last week

I'm wondering if simply getting Wickes to replace it will solve the problem

Seems to be the norm for all the cheap ones. I found dismantling it and
fettling the plastic plus some grease worked for one of mine.

A shower switch is a case where you really do need to get a good quality
one which doesn't self-head to destruction. However, even a good one
will self heat to destruction if the workmanship of the wiring connections
is anything less than perfect.
