water doesn't get very warm

Until a few days ago, the temperature dial was set at the coldest possible (blue number 1 or 2) and the water was very warm. Then the next day the water failed to get warm on any setting other that the highest (red number 11) and even on this temperature the water isn't hot plus the water flow is reduced considerably.

Could you please advise on the possible reason for this problem and replacement part/s? Thanks

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

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

If you don’t have a multimeter  we sell them at around £10 each with a link to an on line 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, letting you know much power you have left in batteries

(so you know if they are dud or not)  and lots of other jobs, in short they are well  worth the £10.
