faulty shower

Hi, I have a showerforce 1500xt which

has recently developed a fault. If the

shower is turned on the motor runs and

sounds noisy, no water comes outof the shower head, however if before switching on you place the shower head in the bath and open the valve water flows out , turning on the motor results

in the flow increasing to normal, the power turned off and showerhead replaced in situ with both switches off

means the shower will work normally until left for a day when the fault returns.

There is a humming noise when the

flow button is pressed, is this a faulty solenoid ? or is the pump worn out?

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.

The video is 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 checking and testing the various parts of your shower.

Apartfrom helping to fix your shower, they are really useful for checkingyou have a power supply to appliances, for checking fuses and lettingyou 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
