Micro Switchs faulty

Most unusual for two micro switches to become faulty at the same time............but not impossible!


Are you sure that the pressure switch base is rising up enough to make both switches switch on?

hi George, I am getting power to the solenoid, is it more than likely the solenoid is not operating to provide pressure to pressure switch base, how can I eliminate the solenoid or the pressure switch, I agree regarding the micro switch both being faulty is doubtful regards Neil

It is rare for two micro switches to go at the same time.
You can press each of their buttons separately to test for continuity to check if they are working.

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.

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
