This question is regarding Mira Sport Max - Shower Spares

Overheat and Whining noise

I have a Mira Sport Max which when on high immediately gets very hot and begins to make a whining noise. After about 30 seconds, the overheat light comes on and water cools down before repeating the process. After repeating this about 3 times the low flow light comes on, before repeating the entire process again. Temperature dial appears to have no affect on this. The whining noise still happens on both medium and low settings however water isn't as hot.



Water tank has been replaced before so possibly could be the same issue. Any other suggestions?

The things to check first are.

1 That the main valve coming into your house is fully open.

2 Then check that the valve on the line to the shower is fully open.

If these valves are not fully open then there may not be enough water
getting to your shower to cool it properly, the overheat safety devicewill turn
the power off until it cools, then it then it starts to heat again andso on.

Make sure that the shower headis clean and clear, that the hose isn’t kinked (this can happen just behind thehand set where it is difficult to see) also check the inside of the hosealthough it can look OK on the outside it could have collapsed internally

The other possibility is a faulty flow/stabilizer valve not allowingthe correct amount of water into the shower.
