Troubleshooting
Neon indicator light does not illuminate
Verify that the circuit is live and that the switch is in the 'ON' position. Ensure the bulb within the neon indicator is functional (though often not replaceable, it may require switch replacement if faulty). Check all wiring connections are secure.
Switch feels stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure there are no obstructions around the rocker. Check that the switch is correctly mounted and not over-tightened in its backbox. If the issue persists, the switch may be faulty and require replacement.
Switch is hot to the touch during operation
This could indicate an overload on the circuit or a poor connection. Immediately turn off the power, have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to ensure it is not overloaded and that all connections are tight and correct.
