Full details

This GoodHome Fbn20B shaver socket is designed for homeowners looking to add a modern, sleek touch to their bathrooms while providing versatile power for grooming appliances. Its primary benefit is the dual voltage capability, allowing seamless use of both 240V and 115V shavers and electric toothbrushes, offering convenience and broad compatibility. A minor consideration is that, like all screwless designs, it requires careful installation to ensure a flush finish.

FAQs

Can I use this socket with my high-power hair dryer?

No, this shaver socket is specifically designed for low-power devices like shavers and electric toothbrushes that typically use shaver plugs. It is not intended for high-power appliances.

How do I clean the Gloss Black Nickel Effect finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth and drying with a soft cloth.

Is this socket suitable for outdoor use?

No, this product is designed for indoor use in bathrooms and en-suites only. It does not have an Ingress Protection (IP) rating for outdoor environments.

What type of appliances can I plug into this socket?

You can plug in dual voltage (240V/115V) shavers and electric toothbrushes that have a standard shaver plug. Always check your appliance's voltage rating.

Does the screwless design make it less secure?

No, the screwless design uses internal clips to secure the faceplate to the back box. When installed correctly, it is secure and provides a clean aesthetic.

What is the warranty period for this shaver socket?

Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Troubleshooting

Shaver or toothbrush not working

Ensure the appliance is plugged in correctly and is dual voltage compatible. Check that the main power supply to the socket is active. Verify that the appliance itself is functioning.

Socket faceplate not sitting flush

Gently remove the faceplate and re-align it with the back box, ensuring no wires are obstructing its seating. Push firmly but carefully until it clicks into place.

No power to the socket

Check your household fuse box or consumer unit to ensure the circuit breaker for the bathroom is not tripped. If it persists, consult a qualified electrician.
