Control knob slipping

When I turn the shower on the control knob makes a clicking sound. I have to turn the knob all the way round + to get a flow. What can be the problem.

If you are talking about the power selector knob the it could be two things:

1. On the back of the knob there should be a little washer insert to prevent the chamfered hole opening up under pressure of changing positions. It sits in where the quick release clips are situated, the clips used for removing the knob.

2. The selector valve is beginning to seize up and is too stiff to rotate. It can be changed easily enough but looks a bit daunting as there are 9 or 10 connections on it and a little pipe.

Good luck and stay safe!
