Re: Ha, a €13 bathroom heater, (none / 0)

OK, I asked for it. This job will not only require a screwdriver, but also patience! :-D

I may need to write that on a sticky note and put it on the bathroom mirror....

Thank you AT! LOL. But, but... it wasn´t even a shower surround!

Actually, the best thing is buy another one for the bathroom even if you get this one repaired. Breaking the seal, like you did, means the thing can no longer be relied on to repeal moisture. It may stay dry inside; it may not. If not Bad Things happen. Like electrocution.

Stay safe & toss the sucker.

AT's giving you good advice here, metavision. Please take it - Paris wouldn't be the same without you!

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

thirded. Junk it, it's only 13 euros, it ain't worth visiting Cheney's justice over that.

Double ha, ha! (none / 0)

No patience? You all have convinced me! I had not thought of a moisture seal.

But the note on the mirror may make me a better person. (;
