Troubleshooting

Switch does not activate warming drawer

Verify that the power supply is on and correctly connected to the switch terminals. Ensure the warming drawer itself is functioning and within its operational parameters. Check that the switch is rated for the drawer's amperage and is wired as a double pole switch.

Switch feels loose or wobbly

Ensure the switch is properly secured within its Grid Plus module and that the module is correctly attached to the back box. Check fixings for tightness, but do not overtighten.

Overheating during operation

Confirm that the load does not exceed the 20 amp rating of the switch. Check for any obstructions or blockages in the warming drawer that might increase power draw. If overheating persists, consult a qualified electrician to assess the circuit and appliance.
