Rotary switch to open window shutters

Hi, 

we have this rotary switch in our bedroom - used to open and close the window shutters.  

I am unable to turn the knob to open the window - seems to be stuck. 

is this available in Bunnings and is it easy to replace this as a diy?

please advise. 

thanks

Re: Rotary switch to open window shutters

Hi @bm,

 

I am not aware of us stocking a similar switch mechanism.

 

Replacing the switch mechanism requires electrical work and is not a D.I.Y. project.

 

Let me mention a couple of our knowledgable members @bruce93 and @HandyAndy. They perhaps would know where to get a replacement switch or they might advise that contacting an electrician is your easiest option.

 

Please let me know if you need further information or had questions.

 

Mitchell

Re: Rotary switch to open window shutters

Hi @bm ,

thanks for the tag @MitchellMc 

i don't recall ever seeing one at bunnings, and i don't have any experience with window shutter controls personally,

however, i would highly suggest contacting a local electrician, or at the very least speaking to the (or any) window shutter manufacturer/installer.
this would likely be a proprietry product, or something that can only be purhcased at a window shutter manufacturer or electrical wholesaler.

cheers,
Andy
