You should replace or inspect your water heater switch if it feels hot, smells burnt, looks melted, sparks, becomes loose, cannot turn on properly or causes power trips.

A hot heater switch may be caused by loose connection, ageing switch, overloaded contact, damaged wiring or faulty heater circuit. It should be inspected before continued use.
