Hello.

I purchased this item in a red variation from VAT19. It does not work but the light comes on. I live in the UK and we have a higher Voltage(240V) running in our domestic supply.

Something may have blown.

Can you advise what is it likely to be?

If there is a part that we can replace, can you advise which one and where I can purchase it from please?
