This question is regarding Redring Expressions 500 Shower (2000 - 2008) - Shower Spares

Heat setting

Hi, my shower will not select full heat seating. Is this likely to be a sticking microswitch? Not too much of a problem in Summer but in Winter - to get the water hot the setting needs to be ~9 and the flow is a very low.

Thank you

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

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

If you don’t have amultimeter we sell them at £10 each with a guide on how to use them forchecking and testing the various parts of your shower.

Apart from helping to fixyour shower, they are really useful for checking you have a power supply toappliances, for checking fuses, letting you know much power you have left inbatteries

(so you know if they are dud ornot) and lots of other jobs, in short they are well worth the £10.
