What size of MCB  do you have in your consumer unit ....You need 40amp.

If the MCB is OKthenit may be worth checking your solenoid, check it just after the MCB trips.....See below for how, if the solenoid os at fault thenI would advise replacing the complete flow valve.

It may be your solenoid valve, you can check it if you havea multi meter, you should have a reading of at least k3.5 ohms, across the twoterminals any less and you need a new valve. (Check the valve in the failedstate.) (When it has stopped working!)

 

If there is power getting to the solenoid and it is notoperating then there is a good chance that you have a faulty solenoid.

The videois 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 checkingand testing the various parts of your shower.

 

Apart from helping to fix your shower, they are reallyuseful for checking you have a power supply to appliances, for checking fusesand letting you know much power you have left in batteries

(So you will know if they are good or not) and lots of otherjobs, in short they are well worth a few pounds

Cable was loose at the consumer unit when I had this exact problem (older Dorman Smith type). Switch power to consumer unit of and check ALL cables are tight, not just the shower switch, my shower cable poped right out it was that loose, couple of other ring mains where loose also.
