Galaxy g9000 electric shower solenoid valve

Last month I purchased a replacement solenoid for the above shower and fitted it without a problem. Yesterday my daughter phoned to say the water shut off while the shower was in use. I have not yet had a chance to check the solenoid but I suspect the new solenoid has failed. It maybe that the valve itself has seized causing the solenoid to burn out. My question is this: is it a fairly straightforward task to replace the whole valve assembly or what would you advise.

Many thanks

Yes it is straight to change the whole assembly, but

Iam often asked “Is this a DIY job” to be honest I can’t answer that,because without knowing someone, it isn’t possible to assess theirskills?

Ishould say that most jobs on showers although relatively easy (from mypoint of view) can be fiddly and an extra pair of hands, long thinfingers and the strength in your hands of an all in wrestler are a help!

Thesecret is, observing very carefully when things are taken to bits,their order and orientation, taking notes and/or photos as you go canalso be a help.

When you are working with electricity and water so make sure it is switched off and turned off before you start.

Ifyou think you can do the job but aren’t just that confident, it mayhelp to buy the part and compare it to the faulty part, you will then beable to see where the screws, wires, nuts, or washers etc. go, if thenyou think it is to complicated, at least you will have the part when theplumber or electrician arrives.

We will always be here to offer help and advice if you run into a problem, however it isnot the same as being on site where we can get the overhaul picture, ifyou are still not sure, now is the time to call in a professional.
