Mira Sport 9.8kw - cutting out whilst showering

Fitted in 2014. Been fine but just started cutting out after a few minutes. Then comes back on again after a minute or so. guessing its a thermal switch issue?

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

Hi, thanks for your response. The only problem is that the cut out stage only lasts for about 30 seconds, which wouldn't give enough time to remove cover and check it? Or if I switch it off on pull cord once it fails will it retain its failed state?

Yes the timing can be an issue, however from your description I am pretty certain you have a faulty solenoid.

It may be worth replacing the complete flow valve as it will take the same amount of time to replace the complete flow valve as it will to replace the solenoid coil.
