Mira Event T - stopped suddenly - no warning noises

Recently you gave the following answer in relation to a Mira Event T which has suddenly stopped working - it is possible that you could have a potentiometer or PCB fault. Turn the pot up to full power and check that you are getting the 240v to the motor. You could also make sure that the power is off and try turning the com with the end of a screwdriver, if the motor was only sticking this may release it.



What is the 'pot' and 'com'? I have a similar problem. Mine is 14 years old and suddenly stopped working and I am trying to work out if the brushes are gone. The motor run after I tapped it with a screwdriver for a few days but it has stopped again. Do brushes fail suddenly or should I have been hearing strange noises firstly?



Thank you

If it stopped suddenly with no warning then it is more likely to be a faulty solenoid valve I think you need to check the solenoid first. (see below)

 

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.

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.

 

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
