Mira Event (Thermostatic) - post 1996

It may be your solenoid valve, you can check it if you havea 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 the failedstate.) (When it has stopped working!)

If there is power getting to the solenoid and it is notoperating 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 sell them  with a guide on how to use them for checkingand testing the various parts of your shower.

Apart from helping to fix your shower, they are reallyuseful for checking you have a power supply to appliances, for checking fusesand letting you know much power you have left in batteries

(So you will know if they are good or not) and lots of otherjobs, in short they are well worth a few pounds

There no fitting instructions come with this, however veryroughly.

Switch of the water and power lay the shower head in thetray or bath turn on the water to let it drain remove the securing strap roundthe motor and pump unit loosen the screws that hold the mixing valve and inletassembly Take note where all the wires come from and go to tilt the motorforward and lift up at the same time.

To fit the new motor reverse the above.

When fitting the motor make sure that the two old ‘O’ ringsthat fit between the motor and the valve have been removed, the only realdifficulty in replacing this motor is making sure that the new ‘O’ rings sit inthe correct position and don’t move or ride up when you are replacing the newmotor.

We have found that fitting the ‘o’ rings on the spigots, oneon the pump and one on the valve are easier than mounting the ‘O’ rings in thesockets

Take plenty of photos as you go so you can refer to themwhen it comes to reassembly.

If it stopped suddenly with no warning then it is more likely to be a faulty solenoid valve I think you need to check the solenoid first. (see below)

It may 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 two terminals any less and you need a new valve. (Check the valve in the failed 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.

Sorry for the delay in replying.

I think I would start by checking that the filters are clear, it could be a few other faults but try the filters first, if that doesn’t work get back to us.

Hi Iain

It is possible that you could have a potentiometer or PCB fault

Turn the pot up to full power and check that you are getting the 240v to the motor.

You could also make sure that the power is off and try turning the com with the end of a screwdriver, if the motor was only sticking this may release it.

The thermostatic units have thermostatic on the front cover.

I think that the motor and pump unit has failed so this will have to be replaced

Sorry just noticed that it was the XS you have with this model it is more likely to be a faulty solenoid valve, see below for how to check.

 Have you checked the filters?

If they are OK then you may have to replace the Thermostatic valve

First I would strip the filters out and make sure that they are clean.

You could measure the resistance across the motor no resistance probably a faulty motor

Or you could just disconnect the motor tape up the ends and switch on if it doesn’t trip then it is likely to be the motor.
