Lx 85 inspiration stopped working

Have had this shower for over 10 years. Just stopped working. Power fine but won't turn on. It stopped working during shower then came on again. When it was used next it didn't work. Do you think this is fixable or new shower unit required? If fixable what parts coild it be and are they available?

If you have 230-240v inside the shower , then,

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
