Mrs Osem's trusty epilator has been playing up for a while. Essentially it started refusing to come on a few weeks ago. It has no batteries to check but I fiddled with it for a while, cleaned the head properly, checked the power cord and operated the on/off switch repeatedly to see if it could be a loose connection or something like that. Whilst doing this, it suddenly started so I thought the switch might be the root of the problem. Since then, however, the problem has remained except that we've discovered, quite by chance, that if we plug it in and just leave it switched on it'll suddenly start on its own after 5-10 mins. I'm puzzled as to what might be causing this, anyone got any ideas?*
