After 4 months, the led on the breaker has stopped working. The breaker is for a new circuit for the washing machine and the power in comes from a nearby switch/plug unit. Now, when i turn the light on the led on the breaker flickers while the tube is coming on.

I will post a picture later.

Does the breaker trip correctly when the "Test" button is pressed? If so, no problem.

It is just a breaker. All the RCBOs were sold out. Everything works fine just the led is acting up.

The wire of to the left is the water pump, The wire going down is to the washing machine socket .

It's still unclear what the LED is doing:-

On, but flickering off when the light starts. Possible that the supply is dipping low enough to put out the LED when the light starts.

Off, but flickering on when the light starts. Possible that the supply is too low to light the LED and the surges from the tube startup flips it on (unlikely).

Either way, if everything is working ok, why worry. A small blob of paint on the LED will solve all issues (we have several of the RCBO version with failed LEDS).

Thanks. Everything is working as it should. So probably a manufacturing fault with the breaker.

@Crossy, the LED indicates that the breaker is closed. (ON)

And you are directing this at me why??

Sorry if i was not clear. When the breaker is on (closed), the led is not working. The led randomly lights/ flickers when i turn on the light switch ( very top of the picture ) and goes off after a while.

I thought Haco was a good quality brand.

They are amongst the best of a pretty motley crew

More than 50% of our Haco items with pilot lights are dark, everything still functions just fine.
