Shower water stops suddenly after running for several minutes

Shower water stops suddenly after running for several minutes. I have cleaned the filters and checked the water flow but I still have a problem. I run the shower for several minutes (say 10mins) and the water will stop. Pump is still making a noise and these is ample water flow to the shower. I saw on here that it was likely the solanoid, but my local plumber said no it would be water flow? I cannot see how the flow can be an issue when water comes out of the bath taps fine (the shower is off this feed). Any advise welcome. Thanks

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

You should also check the water tank when this happens just in case it is lack of water.
