Shuts off

Hi there My shower has started to shut off when on med or high setting and the thermostat is on mid to high, it will run for a while the the low flow light will come on and it shuts off. It won’t then come back on for at least 30 mins. I put the shower on high flow and a low heat and it seems to stay on the water is just not very hot. Is the cool broken? I attached pic of the current setting

When you say shuts off is that the power (Heat) or the water?

If it is the water then you likely have a faulty solenoid.

If it is the power then the first thing to do is make sure that the valve coming into your house is fully open and the valve on the supply to your shower is fully open.

If they are OK then I think you are going to need a new flow valve.

It now does not come on at all, the power light is on and the low flow light on is on unless I turn it to low.

When I say it doesn’t come on I mean no water comes out. For a few days the water would come on and then go off after a while. And then it would re work again in a couple hours. Now no water comes out at all when the shower is turned on just the lights as stated before.

How do I check the babe you mentioned before?

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

If there is power getting to the solenoid and it is not operating then there is a good chance that you have a faulty solenoid.

The video is 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 checking and testing the various parts of your shower.

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

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