This question is regarding Mira Sport Max - Shower Spares

Shower stopped working, No flow showing on 2 buttons, but no water regardless.

Shower stopped with the no flow light whilst in use this morning.



No flow light turns on when pressing the High and Medium buttons, but the low button turns green but still nothing happens.



Filter has been cleaned, but made no difference as it wasnt really that bad.



Ive put a multimeter across the solenoid as per the video, but it shows nothing. So does that mean the solenoid needs replacing?



Also, the shower has groaned when its set to a certain temperature since we bought the house, but nudging it up or down slightly stops the noise (if thats had anything to do with it) So is it best to replace the valve assembly to be safe?



Or is it something different entirely?



Cheers,

Lee.

It is most likely your solenoid valve, you cancheck it if you have a multi meter, you should have a reading of at least k3.5ohms, across the two terminals any less and you need a new valve. (Check thevalve in the failed state.) (When it has stopped working!)

 

If there is power getting to the solenoid and itis not operating then there is a good chance that you have a faulty solenoid.

The videois intended as a guide and does not cover every shower.

 

If you don’t have a multimeter  we sellthem  with a guide on how to use them forchecking and testing the various parts of your shower.

 

Apart from helping to fix your shower, they arereally useful for checking you have a power supply to appliances, for checkingfuses and letting you know much power you have left in batteries

(So you will know if they are good or not) andlots of other jobs, in short they are well worth a few pounds

If the solenoid is faulty then with this shower itmakes more sense to replace the complete valve
