No water after c.3mins - low flow light on

The Mira Sport shower works fine for about 3 minutes and then the low flow light comes on and the shower stops. I have tested the solenoid in the flow valve and get a reading of 1.4 k ohms.



Does the fact that it works for some time before stopping make a difference to your recomendation to replace the coil if less than 3.5 k ohms.



Also, in your previous responses you give a link to a video on how to replace but the link doesn't work when I try it.



Many thanks

Yes it is the solenoid which is part of the flow valve.

Because there is not a huge difference in cost and it involves more work changing the coil on this valve than it does changing the complete flow valve coupled with the fact that the flow valves themselves become faulty, it is not worth just changing the coil when the flow valve itself may become faulty in a few weeks.

 

Checked the solenoid link and it appears to be OK this morning
