Knaus Sky Ti Kitchen Tap Malfunction (1 Viewer)

[BFM14]

on a campsite in Italy and when wife went to use the kitchen tap the water did not flow; hot or cold. Turned the bathroom tap on and water flowed in both kitchen and bathroom. I forgot to bring the manuals for the Mhome but am led to believe that the water pump is controlled by a micro switch at the taps.

If this is true can I replace just the micro switch in the tap assembly or do I need to purchase a complete new tap?

Does anybody know how I could get the correct bits here in Italy?

I bought my microswitch on ebay, you might need to know which switch.

Thanks I need to know what tap is fitted. I haven't got manuals with me so will be looking at Cak website to identify it

Thank you @scotjimland. Took the first part oif the tap off to find that the brown wire has come away from where it was located. When I have built up the courage will go to the next stage and dismantle the tap and see if I can reconnect the wire. Thank you for the attachment.

I also have a Knaus Sky Ti and this very same thing happened to mine.
I had a very good independent engineer come out to fit a new microswitch and I watched him do the job.
Unfortunately, the switch seemed to be glued in and, try as he might, he couldn't get it out.
Instead, he did a bodge job by soldering the stray wire back on - it is still perfectly good almost a year later.
