Sometimes it's just the wire nuts and replacing them or tightening will hel=
p. Sometimes the internal crimps corrode and fail in a most bathroom.
I had someone who put four 100w bulbs in one and that's a lot of heat and c=

here may be a high temp limit switch, but I've never seen one of those in s=
