mira orbis 10.8kw

The back light is flashing and low flow appearing, no water coming through the shower. Have been told that it could possibly be the flow valve or solenoid valve. are they easy to replace or better to change the shower unit itself. Thanks

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.

The video is intended as a guide and does not cover every shower.

If youdon’t have a multimeter we sell them with a guide on how to usethem for checking and testing the various parts of your shower.

Apart from helping to fix your shower, they are really useful forchecking you have a power supply to appliances, for checking fuses and lettingyou know much power you have left in batteries

(So youwill know if they are good or not) and lots of other jobs, in short they arewell worth a few pounds

I amoften asked “Is this a DIY job” to be honest I can’t answer that, becausewithout knowing someone, it isn’t possible to assess their skills?

Ishould say that most jobs on showers although relatively easy (from my point ofview) can be fiddly and an extra pair of hands, long thin fingers and thestrength in your hands of an all in wrestler are a help!

The secret is, observing very carefully when things are taken tobits, their order and orientation, taking notes and/or photos as you go can alsobe a help.

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

If youthink you can do the job but aren’t just that confident, it may help to buy thepart and compare it to the faulty part, you will then be able to see where thescrews, wires, nuts, or washers etc. go, if then you think it is to complicated,at least you will have the part when the plumber or electricianarrives.

We will always be here to offer help and advice if you run into aproblem, however it is not the same as being on site where we canget the overhaul picture, if you are still not sure, now is the time to call ina professional.
