I have a mixer tap in the kitchen, a Reich Trend S and was having a problem with the hot water. When I turned the tap on for cold, worked perfect and as I moved the tap up towards hot, the closer to hot it got the slower the flow until it completely stopped. Its a mixer tap so just one 'tap', you just turn it on then move between hot and cold.
I have managed to fix my tap at a total cost of £4.98 thanks to the info provided by Chris at Premier Motorhomes and www.leisureshopdirect.co.uk
which gave me the instructions how to replace the microswitch and RS Components where I bought the replacement switch from

If I put into google Reich Trend S microswitch, most of the caravan/motorhome places were wanting between £10 and £15 for the microswitch but a bit of googling I found out it was made by Marquardt so after searching I found RS components sold them. I did have to very very slightly amend the switch as the old one which broke has 2 locators but the RS one had 4 but it was a simple job of cutting the 2 off not required.
Also it was a DT switch so I simply cut off the blue wire.
All fitted and now working perfect.
The old one failed as it had split where it seems to catch and also where it connects to the switch. See pictures.
Hopefully this post will help others out.
