Mira Sport 9.8 further information required

Thank you for your reply. The kettling did not continue after the shower was switched off. I also forgot to mention that there had been a high pitched squealing, for a short time before the shower tripped out. Other contributors have also mentioned this noise in their queries. I have mislaid my torx drivers, so haven't done a full fault finding exercise. I have tested the solenoid which gives a healthy reading. What else would cause the mcb to trip out? There are no signs of damp or heat damage inside the casing. Can you tell me which parts to test with the multimeter in logical order please? In the meantime I will try to remember where I put the torx drivers (after I fitted the TCO last year). Thank you for your expert help.

It may be a faulty elementin the heating tank (there are two, three in most 10kw showers) you can checkthem with a multi meter you should have a reading of around 12>18 ohms.

If you have power to theelements and no heat it's probably the elements, no power to the elements thenit's probably a micro switch.

If you don’t have amultimeter we sell them at £10 each with a guide on how to use them forchecking and testing the various parts of your shower.

Apart from helping to fixyour shower, they are really useful for checking you have a power supply toappliances, for checking fuses, letting you know much power you have left inbatteries

(so you know if they are dud ornot) and lots of other jobs, in short they are well worth the £10.

The high pitch noise could be from the flow valve.
