water keeps shutting off

When I turn my shower on high it shuts down after a short time,this happens on the medium setting as well.But if I turn either of these up very high the shower still opperates.I have cleaned the head,but this does not cure it.I have lost my manual,and do not know how to remove the cover to see if the filter needs cleaning. Please Please help. Thank you

There are two screws at the top and one at the bottom of the cover.

Itmay be a faulty element in the heating tank (there are two, three inmost 10kw showers) you can check them with a multi meter you should havea reading of around 12>18 ohms.

Ifyou have power to the elements and no heat it's probably the elements,no power to the elements then it's probably a micro switch.

Ifyou don’t have a multimeter  we sell them at £10 each with a guide onhow to use them for checking and testing the various parts of yourshower.

Apartfrom helping to fix your shower, they are really useful for checkingyou have a power supply to appliances, for checking fuses, letting youknow much power you have left in batteries

(so you know if they are dud or not)  and lots of other jobs, in short they are well  worth the £10.

Or

Itmay be your solenoid valve, you can check it if you have a multi meter,you should have a reading of at least k3.5 ohms, across the twoterminals any less and you need a new valve. (Check the valve in thefailed state.) (When it has stopped working!)

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

If these prove to be ok then I would suspect the PCB.
