A: Sorry for the delay in replying.
I think you may have a faulty Thermal Cut Out
A faulty TCO will have no continuity across the two terminals (The black thing on top of the heating tank)
Therefore a good TCO will have power at both connections and a faulty TCO will have power at only one.
(The function of the TCO is, if the water over heats it cuts the power off to the elements until the water cools, this can take up to 15mins)
See Video. http://www.youtube.com/user/showerdoc#p/u/2/_zi8JbEMYMs If the TCO is OK then you probably need a new flow regulator assembly Answered 171 days ago | The doc |

Q: After a water stoppage, the mira zest unit has waterflow but the water is not heating on any temp setting. Mains supply is fine. The flow seems very slow.
I have checked the filter, it is clear. Cable connection appear sound.

Q: Similar to last question and probably same answer. My zest 8.5 is just 18mth old and has stopped dead. There is power to the terminal block and heater as indicated by my finger on the top, light up screwdriver!!
Just one disturbing thing, the pull cord indicator light goes out when the shower knob turned to on and comes back on when turned back. Screwdriver says power still at power terminal block when light is out. Have checked wiring in pull cord switch and all seems ok. Is this relevant?

A: The things to check first are.
1 That the main valve coming into your house is fully open.
2 Then check that the valve on the line to the shower is fully open.
If these valves are not fully open then there may not be enough water
getting to your shower to cool it properly the overheat safety device will turn
the power off until it cools Then it all starts again
Make sure that the shower head is clean and clear, that the hose isn’t kinked (this can happen just behind the hand set where it is difficult to see) also check the inside of the hose although it can look OK on the outside it could have collapsed internally
If all the above are OK then you are going to need a new flow valve http://www.showerdoc.com/shower-spares/mira/MIRA-439-77-Mira-Flow-Regulator-Assembly-(7-5---8-5kw-Models)-439-77 Answered 325 days ago | The Doc |

Q: The shower was turned off when operating on cold and it started leaking. I can see cracking on a clamp between where the filter (3) is and the flow regulator assembly (4), Is it likely to be only the clamp which has failed?

A: The only way to be sure is to undo the clamp and see, if the back box is cracked then you will have to buy a new shower because Mira will not sell back boxes. The most common reason for the clamp cracking is that the pipe is not entering the shower perfectly squarely Answered 395 days ago | The Doc |

Q: Water is leaking from where the filter (Part3) connects to the flow assembly (part4) how do these parts connect, and are they fairly straight forward to replace?
many thanks.

A: Yes this should be fairly straight forward. However......,... The reason that this part often leaks is when the shower was installed the fitter did not hold against himself when tightening the nuts, or the more usual fault is the pipe work is not entering the shower perfectly straight If this is the case you will have to try to adjust it or the same fault may occur again.

Q: My Mira zest (post 2003) runs fine for several minutes and then just cuts out. I need to wait a while to start it again and it will run fine then stop again. I replaced the thermal trip assembly which I bought last week but the problem is still there. Do I change the switch assembly or the flow regulator assembly next. Pressure is fine going into the shower.

Q: I have a mira Zest shower that has stopped working no water is comming through to the shower head. there
appears to be 230 volts at the solenoid could this be faulty

A: Here is how to check the solenoid. 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 is not 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 you don’t have a multimeter we sell them with a guide on how to use them for checking and testing the various parts of your shower. Apart from helping to fix your shower, they are really useful for checking you have a power supply to appliances, for checking fuses and letting you know much power you have left in batteries (So you will know if they are good or not) and lots of other jobs, in short they are well worth a few pounds http://www.showerdoc.com/installation/electrical-products/SKYTRO-600-005-Digital-Multi-Tester If the solenoid is faulty then I would advise replacing the complete flow valve.
