Mira Escape 9.8kw not turning on
I have the above shower, it has power to it when external pull cord is turned on,,(I have checked this with a wand and meter) but when I push the power button it clicks and seems to latch as always, but there is no on light and the unit does not work at all.
Am I right in thinking it could be the solenoid coil that might be at fault?

It maybe your solenoid valve, you can check it if you have a multi meter, you shouldhave a reading of at least k3.5 ohms, across the two terminals any less and youneed a new valve. (Check the valve in the failed state.) (When it has stoppedworking!)
If thereis power getting to the solenoid and it is not operating then there is a goodchance that you have a faulty solenoid.

I am a disabled person with very limited use of my left hand, but taking my time I managed the following...
I found it much easier to remove the shower unit from the wall, I took photos of the unit to ensure 'i had a visual reference for when re assembling the parts that need to be removed/undone, it was quite a simple replacement and the solenoid valve WAS at fault so the shower is fully functional once more.
Many Thanks Regards
