This question is regarding Mira Elite ST - Shower Spares

9.8 Mira Elite ST

The shower tripped on high setting with hot water. Then tripping occurred on medium setting with hot water after a period. Does not trip on low setting and only gives cold water at low & medium settings. Any suggestions?

It may be a faulty element in the heating tank (there are two, three in most 10kw showers) you can check them with a multi meter you should have a reading of around 12>18 ohms.

If you have power to the elements and no heat it's probably the elements, no power to the elements then it's probably a micro switch.

If you don’t have a multimeter we sell them at £10 each 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, letting you know much power you have left in batteries

(so you know if they are dud or not) and lots of other jobs, in short they are well worth the £10.

I have tested the two elements with my multi meter and readings of 12.2 & 12.5 ohms.
The micro switch on top of the heating tank has power going through it.
What next ?

Hi George,
Thanks for your reply, but it is the same reply Barrie gave me last Friday, thats why I tested the heater elements & micro switch.
The elements have a reading of 12.2 & 12.5 ohms and the micro switch has power going through it. So what next ?
Regards
Graham

Even with the readings you are getting , it would appear that once the can is hot it causes a drip , which would suggest that one of the elements is at fault. You may have to replace the can to be sure.
