Shower blowing trip on fuse board

Shower runs fine on cold setting but as soon as power given when on eithwer hot setting then it trips out the rcd

Is this just the heating element gone?

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

Ifyou 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.

Ifyou don’t have a multimeter  we sell them at £10 each with a guide onhow to use them for checking and testing the various parts of yourshower.

Apartfrom helping to fix your shower, they are really useful for checkingyou have a power supply to appliances, for checking fuses, letting youknow 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.
